@coolboymew It seems to be. I think it's because all of the Link's Awakening ROM Hacking tools are extremely limited and all seem to be abandonware.

@spitfire @morgthorak @torvalds I wish he was still alive and on the fedi. Seeing a confrontation between the two would've been epic.

I'm in the market for blogging software. I don't want to deal with WordPress or PHP. Ghost seems interesting but then again, a static site built with something like Hugo would probably be more my style. AP federation would be nice but I think that's asking a little too much.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

>there are a lot of grifters who are just as midwit as the boomers.

What's even worse is that many of them are aware of the Fediverse (including the non-fediblock side), but still hate it. I've even heard rumors that Ethan Ralph was involved in the recent Poast hack, but I can't confirm it because I never payed any attention to him.

>think the Twitter fight can still be won.

Even if it is, it isn't even worth winning, especially when even Jack Dorsey openly admitted that contributing to the centralization of the Internet was a bad idea. Social media should have either never existed or have been decentralized since day one (technically it was if you count the finger protocol as an early form of microblogging, but whatever).

Really the only valid excuse to be on Twitter at this point is if you are a game developer, celebrity, business owner, etc and are solely using it to provide updates, and even then you should still have a proper website, email, and RSS/Atom feed. And those sites should have comment sections like they used to have, so they can interact with their audiences that way.

But of course, cuckservatives, mainstream libertarians, and many on the "dissident right" will never get this. If you bring up mailing lists, RSS feeds, and personal websites, they usually respond saying "this isn't the 90s anymore".

The new ".zip" domain is being used almost solely for malware. Some of the clicks are very deceptive, even to technically knowledgeable people. See the attached image for an example.

You can block all zip domains with the following uBlock Origin rule:

||zip^

Tell everyone you know.

@burner @nach @theorytoe @PurpCat You can still phone from a phone though. Just learn to change your user-agent. This just keeps the bottom-of-the-barrel idiots out.

@theorytoe @nach @PurpCat Just block all mobile user agents and mobile clients. Problem solved.

@elduvelle I'm a libertarian.

We exist, even though we are disenfranchised by the existing corrupt system.

@PurpCat @theorytoe I was always skeptical of Gab. I always knew that decentralization was the better option. I was wondering why almost none of them have heard of Diaspora and the Fedi. Though I wasn't aware of how Eugen wanted to use Mastodon to create a "Nazi-free Twitter", and I didn't take into account how tech-illiterate many right-wingers really are.

To this very day, every time I'm in the car with my Dad and the conservative talk show hosts shill something like Truth Social or Rockfin, I always double facepalm.

@PurpCat I mean why would you join poast in the first place
thats like putting a massive target on your back

The thing with Mastodon instances with rules like this is they sound reasonable on paper. Then you actually talk and you're walking on eggshells.

See; ResetEra forums.

ResetEra forums are highly infamous for being the worst online, namely for their moderation policy in which every single post you're making is walking on eggshells combined with the fact that ResetEra will ban you for not supporting whatever their current thing is, the moderators not wanting you to talk about something, or even posting a joking comment on a thread (drive-by trolling is their term for it).

Most of the people on here are here because they got jannied pre or post Musk and took the hint that "Twitter isn't a place to be very subversive and recruit people on", but normies are going to see the jannies and decide "meh I'm going back to Twitter".

I feel bad for all the people who want to join fedi, find out all the cool instances have registration locked for 100% merited reasons, and end up at a jannied shithole where you talk about topics like how much you hate Elon Musk and Twitter, how great Mastodon is, and nothing else for fear of walking on eggshells.

They then move back to Twitter because all the artists are on it along with shitty memes.

This meme👇🏻 was made by @steeledaddy - if I could give him all the retweets I got when I posted it, I would. I had noooo idea who’d made it when I posted it. But now I know, this is my shoutout to the guy who made something so many of us identified with!
