@PhenomX6 It the fedi becomes mainstream, it wouldn't surprise me if AWS creates a service for hosting instances.

@PhenomX6 @lewdthewides It doesn't matter whether or not there are dissidents. The establishment doesn't like decentralized, free speech, and/or anonymous networks and will do anything to give them a bad rep or justify controlling them in some way.

Pedos seem to piss off both the left and right unlike the "Nazis" who only piss off the left. But admittedly, dissidents on both sides share interests that do attract pedos. The right has loli and the far-left is associated with LGBT (including forcing it on children) and furshit.

And while pedo shit is protected under the first amendment here in the US, it's only a matter of time before someone posts actual CP. 16chan (the imageboard created after the InfinityNext drama) dealt with it by allowing pedo boards but requiring them to be textboards. But you really can't enforce that on the fedi. Sure you can block images only from pedo instances, but you still have the problem of pedos on non-pedo instances. Poast blocked images from GameLiberty for awhile and almost blocked us completely.

@lewdthewides @PhenomX6 Or they could be journalists or feds trying to give the fedi a bad rep. Same thing happened during the early days of 8chan except there was actual CP.

@PhenomX6 There were probably more instances that blocked us back when we had a surge of pedos here than instances that blocked youjo.

@rats @Moon Yarn.social has made unofficial extensions to the protocol to make it somewhat more usable. Yarn is basically trying to be the Pleroma of twtxt.

https://dev.twtxt.net/

@Moon Yarn.social (a web based front-end) uses separate feeds for each user after a certain threshold is reached. It's kind of like RSS. It's up to the webmaster or server to decide the limit of posts per feed.

Honestly, the only cumbersome thing about it is that you need to follow users or a registry in order to read replies from others.

@Moon Have you tried it? I'm considering adding a feed for my site.

@Moon ActivityPub is a bloated piece of shit. twtxt is where it's at. It's RSS but for microposts.

@admin I hope @karabin doesn't mind me making games because I just published one as a Eurasian.

@PhenomX6 @lain You might as well keep the deletion requests. I imagine that the federated messages take up more disk space than the local ones.

@realcaseyrollins There is also a web front-end for twtxt called Yarn if you want a more traditional experience. It still uses twtxt in the background. With how simple the twtxt format is, it's much easier to implement than activity pub.

@realcaseyrollins If you can't host a Fedi instance you should try twtxt. It's an ultra-minimalist decentralized microblogging network. It's just a text file containing your profile and statuses. That's it. You can even host it on a static website. People follow you via twtxt clients, just like an RSS feed.

@Indigo @dielan On a semi-related note, and it may sound weird, but I don't like people knowing my last name even IRL. I don't feel like it's important and I went to keep family stuff private, but if someone knows me because of someone that I'm related to, then I'm going to be known by a first and last name basis and be called by both my first and last name.

I hate last names. They're actually a recent invention. We went well fine without them. Hell, people in Iceland do use them that much.
