That’s one of the things that this platform’s name is appearently based on. Just FYI; so you and the main developer have something in common :)

Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.

Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.

considering they have employees saying their CEO needs to go, they are randomly banning users who post things approved by mods and in line with tos, they are banning even the most slimey mods for no reason and the CEO is putting out infinite inflammatory statements in a row, I’m sure the atmosphere in which the admins work is somewhere between -3 and -53.

and all of those things are from news just this week. So of course we’ll never know how much the admins are fucking up, but considering all of these things it’s like gardening in a tornado. I honestly wouldn’t put it on them; can’t assume they’re all the same as the CEO.

unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.

I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.

I do wanna see where they go tho.

unfortunately my dad who has a diploma in engineering and is working in that field for probably 30y now is still prone to it.

Whoever spread those conspiracies should die a slow and painful death to experience a fraction of what they brought on to a lot of families and friends.

Very interesting

I knew something was brewing but for Russia to go ham on Wagner Group means either they are really desperate, or Wagner Group fucked them up in midst of their power struggle so they have a vendetta.

I am not a tactician so idk what that means for the war but I presume confidence morale in Russia is sinking even more and they suscept themselves to more sabotage.

Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.

That’s way too respectful for poo the bear who loves holding minorities in detention camps.

Any guidelines? AI allowed? Size requirements?

I’m probably not gonna make one but asking so other ppl have the info.

Tbf since trump even a trash panda would make have a good impact on the US if it became president. Trump kind of stole our expectations of what a competent president should look like.

that is giving me deja vu

he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice

I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.

absolutely agree, get them here and make this community even more vibrant

I am itching so much for the perfect episode of John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight commemorating the most absurd but effective protest in histor, sounding off the whole mess of a situation and poking some more at spez. It’ll be a feast.

That is incredible. It’s hilarious, it’s satirical, it’s a sharp criticism and it absolutely hammers the stupidity of every Reddit statement home.

What a great team.

I mean he always has the power to strongarm everyone else.

But the consequence is giant boycotts and decay. Idk if winning is the right word. It’s like going to war and declaring a win because both nations are destroyed.

It’s so impressive to see how the whole community is coming together to basically rebuild Reddit, but open source, and with all the feature everyone needed.

I’ll stay here forever if we keep it up.

Ah yes republicans making the best case against republicans.

No

There’s more to this than the direct changes to their platform:

• not communicating with mods and users
• being deadset about a really bad feature
• doubling down on killing third party development
• being a real dick about controversies
• not valuing users for their content
• not valuing volunteer moderators
• going after a beloved developer specifically for no other reason than him going public with the situation

There’s some things you can’t rebuild, and a lot of redditors accept that Reddit is like an abusive spouse and it’s time to see other people.

It’s even better for everyone that hates him to let him have at it in a fair trial. Why? Because he won’t be able to claim he’s been wronged. He will have had his chance, and if they convict him, it’s proper to call him a rapist.

Let’s give him a fair trial so we can make his new status official.
