@waltercool Arming cashiers is absolutely based.
@Ariovistus I would just only allow contributors on an invite-only basis. Yeah, kind of defeats the purpose of open-source but people would still be welcome to fork the project if they don't like it.
@ryo Yeah there was a lot of Pleroma related drama going on starting early this year. I don't know the exact details. But Alex Gleason isn't well liked in the Pleroma dev team and the project was almost forked early this year (but the fork failed to come into fruition). There was more drama recently though. I think the creator of Poast along with Gleasson have also made a fork which is meant to be the official backend for SoapBox.
Apparently, they have a no trannies policy when it comes to contributors just to prevent any idpol drama.
@ryo For CP instances, that's understandable because linking to CP is still illegal in most places.
People censor URLs all the time for shit they don't want other to see. I remember when 8chan was making the news after the various mass shooting linked to it, news outlets would censor the URL which is useless given that you can easily find the site by going to its Wikipedia article (search engines don't work because it's usually blacklisted by them).
@ryo It's to prevent people from going to those sites. (They think it's so bad that nobody should go there) Instance admins usually do that for CP instances.
@cee @waltercool I see more punk anarchists in urban and suburban areas. Rural areas tend to have hippie anarchists.
@ryo Check their akkoma instance it probably has the same TOS. Misskey is too weird to be usable.
@ryo They're using Misskey now.
mk.disqordia.space
@ryo I'm also surprised to see that they themselves blocked Disqordia instead of the other way around (btw you should include it in your FALI DB; it's an instance for queer ancoms and they are the most sensitive fuckers out there and they are known for trying to get free speech instances deplatformed).
@ryo It really looks like that Poast is really Gab 2.0.
