F* no.

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.

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

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

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.

A true poet!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Judge Dredd, obvi.

Thank you, I did not know that.

We need a federated DNA service.

Oddly specific

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.

That’s LLM bullshit, sir.

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

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.

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.

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?

Federated DNA data storage service. My bad.

Hells yeah.

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

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

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

What a bizarre thing to think.

psst. It’s the federation.
