@ins0mniak welcome to fedi
i am so curious to see how people respond to receiving actually unfiltered/unregulated communication after claiming they want it

@rats Lol, they're having a tough time.
Kinda reminds me of when Gab came here.
Confusion, then frustration, followed by mass rage quit.

@ins0mniak @rats to be fair they "ragequit" because their devs were stupid enough to break federation. it was an accidental ragequit but it wasnt like gablins were interacting with us meaningfully in the first place, anyway
They wouldn't have stuck around regardless, they're more restrictive than even twitter

it's been interesting to see more 'right'-coded people tell me they're against free speech lately

nobody from these places wants free speech they want to be free to determine what speech is allowed
some people want a lib hugbox others want a christian nationalist hugbox, they all just want everyone to agree with them always

its more interesting if everyone isn't trying to be a clone of everyone else around them. also my own views and method of communicating dont really fit nicely into any of the mainstream Discourse/Opinion sets
@ins0mniak @opal @animeirl
I don't know why people want to be around people that are so predictable
it's why I returned to fedi a few months ago - i am very isolated irl, and all other social media feels like social gruel

its depressing and i dont really know when it happened but modern twitter is now just everyone trying to build a "Brand" as a correct opinion haver or an internet "comedian" and no one acts like an actual person anymore
the online election discourse was a direct extension of gamergate

@animeirl @opal @ins0mniak @rats Don't forget the shitshow the celebrity nudes being leaked, nobody talks about that anymore but that boosted the "metoo movement"
@Jazzy_Butts @animeirl @ins0mniak @rats oh yeah the fappening
@opal @Jazzy_Butts @animeirl @rats Now that was some funny shit.
I still have that torrent laying around on a drive somewhere.

i hope people learned about opsec and security from that but considering how often sites still make me put down my hometown as a security question while registering somewhere, maybe not

most people learned absolutely nothing
@animeirl @ins0mniak @Jazzy_Butts @rats i have a leak saved that has my old creds, and i was already using random passwords by then, so i just appreciate the funny
@rats @ins0mniak @Jazzy_Butts @animeirl i generate random indian-sounding names for security questions. had to give one of the answers, verbally, irl, at my community college once. that was fun
@ins0mniak @Jazzy_Butts @rats @animeirl this is proof that even your shitposting scripts can be used for something useful. i glad i wrote that script
@moth @ins0mniak @Jazzy_Butts @rats @animeirl i have DONE the needful. the needful is done. it is over. needful is over.

i usually generate base64 strings, and i also had to read a ton of super long base64 strings over the phone to some amazed person at a bank once

@rats @ins0mniak @Jazzy_Butts @animeirl i had to reset a password at university before taking a test with the lab computers too. OS X doesnt support 64-character passwords
i also managed to break a bunch of standardised testing software so i was always *that one person* who had to call over a proctor and reset the test
i dumbfound people simply by existing near computers

@opal @rats @Jazzy_Butts @animeirl I had to take a remedial computer class once. I got kicked out because I kept correcting the guy teaching it.
