@Hoss @sjw there is a better timeline where smartphones never existed and instead we kept with flip phones and people carried around micro computers

@GrungeQueef @ArdainianRight @hachi I'm placing my bets that it's actually Jeff Cliff because both get triggered by natalism.

@KryptoBlok I would recommend Devuan. It's a Debian-based distro without SystemD.

@ArdainianRight @hachi I don't know why he made my hand preference a social justice issue.

@PhenomX6 I was aware of the existence of GNU Social but I never used it because I wasn't (actively) using social media at the time. When I first heard of Mastodon, I assumed it was some GS fork or just some implementation of the protocol that was better than GS because a lot of FOSS people like Bryan Lunduke were shilling it. Though I wasn't aware of the whole Fediblock culture until I learned about the Gab drama in 2019.

I never would've thought that a decentralized social network would ever appeal to SJW far-leftists, but Mastodon proved me wrong.

@PhenomX6 I find it hard to believe that instance blocking wasn't a thing before Mastodon because instance blocking does make sense in rare circumstances, like if the instance is just used for mass spamming or hosting CP. But I guess in those cases you could also just block them on a network/firewall level. Though I think the problem was that instance blocking was the most advertised feature on Mastodon and later became known as "Twitter without the Nazis". I wonder how the Fediverse would've turned out without Mastodon bringing in this culture.

With new users joining the fedi and constantly asking "the instance question", I've written something up about how I feel about this entire question and why I feel fediblocking is keeping people on Twitter/FB and will continue to. Fediblocking is like diesel cars in the USA imo, normies looked past the 35-40MPG because the fuel is 50 cents more just like how potential users ignore block chains and blockbots on Twitter while staring endlessly at imported blocklists and instance blocks.

@OldM8 @waltercool Improved it. I was going to add more panels ("nationalist left"/third-postion, "corporate left", etc), but Pinta keeps on crashing and GIMP is just too complex for me.

@lanodan Well people are too dumb to take surveys manually because they don't know anything about their own set-ups.
