@SteveTheDragon I was rooting for Gab for so long, this was basically my reaction when I was forced to conclude that the site could never become even halfway-decent under Torba:

Nibbas happy gab is down. What do you think is gonna happen? People will stop using the internet? No, they're gonna start coming over to your neighborhood.

In spite of gab being a far right boomer christian haven, i still want them to succeed. They were the first platform to take me in when the hair dyed first world rich privileged cunts at twitter permabanned me.

My mom was a big fan of yellow roses. My dad made sure we always had at least two or three yellow rose bushes at the house I grew up in.
My wife and her mom got this as a way to honor my mom's memory even though they never met her. I had to snap this photo before I left home this morning because they're so beautiful. I hope my mom is smiling down from heaven. I married a great woman (finally).

I just spent the bulk of a vacation day that I booked specifically for this purpose interacting with a huge government agency.

The individuals were all lovely and helpful and personable, and I've made substantial progress towards the goal I had at the outset of this effort. Objectively positive.

But every time I have to deal with huge opaque bureaucracies I just want to cry for hours and then not see anyone for about 4-5 days. And of course I can't do either of those right now.

I am not trying to break anything.

What a week, huh?

Looks like we cannot reproduce the issue anymore. Can someone perform a backup of their pod (db and media files) and try an upgrade?

Holy shit audio captcha is so much easier. I can spend like half a minute training google's ai or just listen to a voice clip

@fluffy
i never understood the spam problem. ever since i started obfuscating my email address (check bio for example), i haven't been getting any spam (besides gab news (i'm too lazy to unsubscribe))

also, it's not like anyone uses the services i host besides myself and a few good friends.

my policy on blocks is one of the reasons why i have invite-based registration: i don't want a bunch of retards like old jojo to hop into my instance and start spamming the shit out of it. you can always ask for an invite if i know you well enough though.

Alternatives to #fediblock:

* #fedicock - surprisingly feminine
* #fedidock - when you hook up your Nintendo switch to your TV to play animal crossing. Alternatively, when your employer doesn't pay you because you were shitposting instead of stacking boxes
* #fedilock - doesn't really work - blame Pleroma devs or something
* #fedisock - programming variant, of course

@yuri #fediblock gleasonator.com, too many people telling the truth

Let me just make one thing clear: I am against blocking in any form and I consider #FediBlock a piece of utter shit.

Blocking is the cancer of the internet. If you have to block someone, that means that you are too fucking weak for the internet, - hell, for the real world itself - go meditate and live in a wonderland with your imaginary friends or something. You are not going to learn something new if you just stay in your own little personal safe space and hear the same opinions from the same people with the same world views all over again. You are fucking degrading by blocking everyone else. Bad [not yours] ideas are fought with good [yours] ideas, not with blocking. Want to get all your information from only one 'approved' source? You are a fucking degenerate. Period.

In my six months on fedi and in my past 3 years on the internet overall, I've been yet to block a single person or an instance. Yes, even gab spambots. And yes, you can consider this a challenge.
