Huh. That is actually the social preview picture they show to people linking to their changelog. Bold choice

The EU is probably working on that front at the very least. Unfortunately the US side may need regulators to carry it forward

Oh I am sad now :(((((

We need to shut down the stand up venues until we figure what the fuck is going on

Yeah, that second part is concerning.

On Twitch?

Why???

Clearly you haven't dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.

For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.

This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.

Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It's literally inevitable that they're going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**

Dark Brandon is Awake.

I wish he was around more often than Sleepy Joe. 😔

I don't care what comes after this. I still read it, but I don't care.

Cool, I suppose I shouldn't take any of your arguments seriously then.

"You knew some people, therefore hexbear is those people."

No, I knew some people who showed bad behavior, and Hexbear users are showing similar behavior.

what do you say about the guy I linked to in the last comment?

Yeah, they're somewhat obnoxious. It's annoying to see communists lumped in widely with fascists. They aren't 14-year-old Stalin-fancam sea-lion-posting-in-every-Lemmy-instance obnoxious though.

You don't think hexbear's obnoxiousness might be a reaction to years of talking to people like that? You don't think maybe at this point they expect it and that's why they're flippant?

Maybe it is a reaction to to people like that. I do not give a fuck. Unless they're picking beef with long-storied rivals, everyone else has been here for 2-3 months, maybe less. We are not the collective animus of every anti-communist they've ever met. We're people here to form link aggregator communities, and it's unacceptable for them to treat people here as punching bags for their past frustrations just because they have a bit of social power here.

There's a wide range of people with political opinions here, and left-wing populism is quite popular here. If they changed their engagement, more people would be amenable to their community. But if they insist on acting the fool, they will eventually be sent back to the circus.

look at how your own instance talks, this is absurdly hypocritical.

Talk like what, furries? They're mostly nerds, not much political discourse there. Small twinge of liberalism/leftism maybe.

Pigs are very nice creatures.

LEOs are boars, nasty things.

Time is a fake, capitalist convention, so ^/s^
