The biggest problem/threat for free, uncensored social media (and the internet in general) will always be clear and blatant violations of the law, such as people posting CP. Currently big tech is allowed to judge these posts on their own as inappropriate and remove them. But we want to stop this behavior, where social media judges the content of our posts. So what can we do to have our cake and also get rid of CP?
In the past, I have proposed that social media should remove posts containing harassment, threats of violence etc. only if the person reporting them had proof from a court of law that declared said post as illegal. Or at the very least the one reporting should present evidence that they also have reported it to the police.
But this wouldn't work well enough when it comes to CP and potentially other crimes. My suggestion is, for a very narrow number of crimes, allow the platform itself to report the potential criminal posts/accounts to the relevant authorities, and only afterwards hide said posts or suspend the account, with permanent deletion taking place only after the person is found guilty.
Humans are the bane of every other human's existence.
This is kinda how I feel right now. Maybe my introverted ass got overstimulated or something, but I feel like screaming to the world "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" and then just shutting down. I'm somewhere between highly annoyed/angry and depressed, and I just don't want to deal with anything or anyone IRL.
It seems the longer I stay away from Windows, the more I hate it whenever I need to work on it.
Apparently the lofi trend has spread to a galaxy far far away.
TFW you still find use in a bootable Ubuntu 11.10 x86 CD. This fucking OS install disc is almost a decade old, and I still use it every once in a while to troubleshoot someone's system.
I wonder... will 2021 be our savior year, or is it all just a trap?

New Years resolution for 2021:
I want to travel more than 2000km by bike. I've managed to do 1500km last year, so it should be achievable.
Happy New Year!
This is a short taste of what I'm officially naming "fireworks democracy". What you're seeing is a city wide show made by the people for the people. Unlike other years, the local government didn't organize anything this time around. And restaurants had their hands tied, so I highly doubt they invested money in a show when they had no clientele.
This started up about 10 minutes before midnight, and lasted for another 10 after.

New year's speech
This February, a big portion of the Pleroma team met in Brussels for FOSDEM. Blissfully unaware of the horrible fate that would befall us all, we just poisoned ourselves with North Korean ginseng soju and bad fish.
Soon after, we started our tradition of missing release dates with our FOSDEM release in March, Pleroma 2.0. That's when we added Emoji reactions! Can you believe it? Seems like ages ago. AdminFE also made its entry in that one, still in a somewhat rough shape, but getting better with each release.
The next big thing came out in August. Chats! I hope you're all using them a lot! One step further in the direction of replacing all known software (email client will follow).
Our latest big release in November brought us the media preview proxy so that you can use Pleroma on cell phones without going crazy.
All the frontend changes we had in PleromaFE are too many to count. We also got a great new frontend in SoapboxFE and made it easier to install new frontends for admins.
So what am I looking forward to in the next year?
We'll make it much easier to install Pleroma, to host Pleroma, and to switch frontends around, both as an admin and as a user. Seeing how the existing big players will ban people left and right, an alternative is sorely needed, and we can provide it. Can Pleroma be 'social networking for the rest of us'? Let's do our best and find out!
We'll try to figure out how to make connecting to other people easier. We'll have to figure this one out together! There won't be an algorithmic timeline in Pleroma by default, but the firehose we currently have is also not very approachable for new users. Maybe a 'friendly instances' timeline? Better 'users to follow' suggestions? More outreach to explain how everything works? We'll see. Pleroma's what you make it.
And of course, the big one will come, hopefully sooner than later. Groups. Including group chat. I want it, you want it, everybody wants it. We'll get it. I've put literally years of thought into this one. Please be a little more patient, and then drop discord and facebook right away once it's released :p
I want to thank everyone who worked on Pleroma this year, who used it, who had fun on it, who was angry about it, who found new love on it and who keeps loving me. Every time I think about how far we've come in this backwater social network for outsiders and free software freaks, I find it hard to believe. We all make it happen together.
Was 2020 the Year of Pleroma? Not quite yet. But we made good progress. Next year will count. Can't wait to see you all again!

Just FYI, I might be drunk...
Happy New Year Igel, wherever you are... may you finally get that girlfriend you were so desperate for.
So how shitty is New Years gonna be in your country? In Romania we're basically not allowed to leave the house after 11PM.
