I dunno. It’s not like the warez and stuff is IN Spotify.

Great. Now I can see first hand how annoying I am 🤔

“Warez”. That’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.

This is probably the least painful way to get a few fediverse apps installed. There are many Mastodon type apps, Pixelfed, Lemmy and maybe more.

It’s come a long way.

Somehow the Beepberry people got their hands on tons of BlackBerry keyboards. I assume they get in trouble because if you look at the site now, all the keyboards are pixelated to be unreadable. But I just assumed that these were international BB keyboards so probably some other script like Arabic or Cyrillic, etc.

Zactly.

We need a federated DNA service.

There’s an enforcement component. It’s designed to punish the producer so it hurts so it won’t do it again.

You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

That’s LLM bullshit, sir.

You never really think there’s people behind these things.

F* no.

I’ve been surprised to find that females in my circle consider dude gender neutral.

Judge Dredd, obvi.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

Many moons ago I used heartbeat for this, but you’d need both servers in the same cidr range. I assume that’s not the case here.

In your case you could probably use a dynamic DNS service to move the IP around, but the challenge would be knowing when to kick it off.

You could write scripts to determine when the live one goes down, but we’re probably already more complicated than you were looking for.

This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.

Oddly specific

I use Thunder on iOS and it says it’s available for Android too. It has filters and I have them set to exclude just about any word I can think of that has to do with US politics. I haven’t seen a post about that yet so I assume it’s working.

That is a good book.

Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

It’s a very generational question. Like, many of the cartoons I watched as a kid would definitely be considered crazy today (and racist, misogynistic, murderous, etc.) but at the time were typical.

This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. You can just leave.

You can’t just say blocked. It doesn’t work that way. #michaelscott

Thank you, I did not know that.

Hells yeah.

WP had a time, but there are a ton of better options now.

The WP plugin gatekeeping is terrible, it lacks cyclical review which allows abandoned plugins to be converted to malware; its target audience is people who have no business running their own internets and have no idea what updates are, thus scattering the landscape with outdated WP installs ripe for conversion into botnets; it uses an unreasonable amount of resources, primarily due to encouraging users to install every plugin the can find; and finally, who the hell is Dolly?

This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

Looks like it doesn’t specifically but you can lock it down still.

Federated DNA data storage service. My bad.

A true poet!

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

45 minutes? How many M&Ms were there? 🤨

The problem, of course, is distinguishing between harmless and harmful use. There are painfully few things that are objectively good or bad.

I recently had a Kona loaner with that. It was so dumb.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

In my experience, the “entire planet” isn’t capable of uniting on anything.

What a bizarre thing to think.
