COVID-19 and the myth of productivity, ppl afraid of being bored when confined at home 

What a lot of reactions from people scared of being bored if they stay all day at home inspire me, is that our modern "organised world" taught us that we are not allowed to rest or stay idle just for the sake of it.

A lot of people who work an admin / tech / office job experience guilt, or simply find themselves unable to enjoy a book, a nap, playing with their kids or just do nothing.

It is indeed horrific that a user needs to be identified by #Cloucflare in order to progress, and we believe this opens users up to #targetedAdvertising and/or targeted #propaganda/#indoctrination.

There are #openSource methods and #captchas to help hosts determine that a user isn't a bot. There's no excuse in our view to use shadowy Cloucflare.

And of course we cannot forget their commitment towards training #selfDriving #weaponry.

@dsfgs Cloudflare isn't a host, they're a proxy, and you can use Tor with them, although it doesn't work that well. But they're really the best service around for free that deals with DDoS mitigation. Would be much more expensive to run the site without them. Remember what happened to 8chan? @realcaseyrollins @freemo

@NAZl
The major problem with Gaß is it is hosted by #Cloucflare. An very seedy entity based in San Francisco and who host platforms that appear to create extremists.

Cloucflare also serve Google #Recaptcha, which helps to train #selfDriving vehicles.

Thirdly they block people who use #TorBrowser for improved #anonymity.

As such we choose to #boycott Cloucflare services.

@realcaseyrollins You just noticed this? Just look at the state and funding of dog shelters vs homeless shelters.

@AvatarX It's something I always knew, but never directly addressed or thought about.

Bot generated, open at own risk 

I misgender myself often enough, and it's freaking me out.

@realcaseyrollins I just change servers constantly. Gameliberty is the freest Mastodon instance in our sphere, but most people prefer to run Pleroma because it's more lightweight and admin friendly, if you want similar sites a more active internal community there are options, but they're going to be Pleroma.

Right now I'm interested in the direction of Gab's software, so I'm residing here and on Glease (plus coom.club, but I'm still undecided on how to move forward with it so it's down for now) @freemo

Hafta say, at least my governor and mayor have not lost their minds...yet! Schools closed, but most businesses are still open.

@realcaseyrollins
The problem with that though, is the the media can begin to censor.

We understand why someone might come to this conclusion. It seems that there's zero time-wastage during the #DemDebate on Sunday.

TW: Racism, Coronavirus 

@JGibsonDem "Racist" 😂😂😂

Please. Keep talking like this, and no one will believe anything is racist, even if we point it out!
