@Jojothegoodperson@freespeechextremist.com @a I think the most disturbing thing I saw was loli of Chloe from We Bare Bears while browsing the tag. Part of that was that it was just jarring and unexpected for me at the time tho lol

@J IDEK if people block me, it's blocking other people that had nothing to do with it that I really have a problem with.

Gleasonator is officially the server where people make sock puppet US presidential candidate parody accounts and duke it out. Join the fun. 😃

@Jojothegoodperson@freespeechextremist.com @a Unfortunately not but the mods probably do.

I don't wanna draw attention to it tho, since the SJWs are too dumb to not blame the admins for the post, apparently 🙄

When you're able, take a few moments and rest.

I've been building on Gab's HYDRA and want to share what I'm learning about its design. I'm in no way an authority on the subject and this is only my personal interpretation.

First a definition: HYDRA isn't a single codebase or a particular technology, but a tactic for creating disposable web applications for a community of users.

Imagine you have a huge userbase. You can imagine a lot of different ways those users could interact. Collaborative video game? Chat room? Virtual dance party? It would be foolish to code these experiments directly into the main site, so HYDRA says to make a new self-contained site which the existing users can log in to. If it works, you keep it. If it doesn't, you can sever the head without killing the beast.

In the literal sense, HYDRA is a bunch of independent codebases with their own database, authenticating against the main site with OAuth. LDAP has done this for a while so it's not exactly groundbreaking. The innovation of HYDRA is in formalizing this process, by using automation, ready-to-go boilerplate templates, and giving instructions on how to do it. It's one particular way of doing a broader strategy.

Actually, this looks like a good argument for a new feature - when a mod closes a report, give him a checkbox that says, "This post has been fully examined and found to comply with our terms; reject future reports against it." Then the complainants can continue to file reports but they are silently dropped before landing in the queue.

@xerz Bruh we've had for years, what do you mean "the way back", I've been here for years
