@PurpCat @xianc78 @gabriel @GrungeQueef people call me crazy but discord is a LOT more healthy than twitter as far as social media goes. Humans were not meant to operate by shouting 24/7 in a public square.

YouTube removed dislike counts, so this guy made Rotten Tomatoes for YouTube

Just please... I don't want to fee it anymore. Both ostatus and ap are bad protocols for privacy. They don't ensure it, they just hope that the other server cooperates. Please, don't share REALLY private stuff on fedi, use matrix or xmpp or pgp, with proper encryption. This isn't a Pleroma problem or a mastodon problem, it's a problem in the protocol and that won't change in the near future.

Poast, and much of the greater fediverse will not follow a single one of these policy requirements, and the presidential administration can blow our cocks.

@xianc78 @hachi I believe I once mentioned how subtitles on politician speeches/public service addresses would be more useful to both the hearing impaired and regular people than that gay-ass sign language performance art.

@xianc78 @hachi Especially in the context of legislation. It's good to be considerate of those with special needs but ADA mandates and the like add costs that smaller businesses might not be able to handle.

@hachi @xianc78 Ableism is objectively good. Being able is objectively superior to being unable. The only people who bitch about "ableism" are useless sacks of shit who celebrate their worthlessness.

@Ash @RustyCrab Here's the thing though, ActivityPub introduces one question that never existed on Twitter: "what instance should I join". The answer for most ends up being either Mastodon for leftoids, Poast for rightoids, or Misskey.io and Pawoo for the Japanese. Of course people from Poast end up making new accounts once they're balls deep in the culture, but how many people from Mastodon instances end up moving to others and not going back to Twitter, especially when their instance of choice shuts down like FreeCumExtremist and Sleepy.cafe did just now, without warning?

Muddying the waters is the fact that the Fediblock Wall or Rainbow Curtain exists and that a certain segment of fediverse promoters advertise only servers that resemble ResetEra in rulesets. The end result? People join, get banned, go back to Twitter where as long as you're not Kevin MacDonald or posting edgy memes you can get by a lot easier even if only 4 people notice your posts screaming into the void.

Reminder that almost all regulation favors the existing big players in the market and hurts the smaller start ups and those with less capital

Anyone have a link to, or copy of, that early 2000s video edit of Bush's state of the union with him saying stuff like "shut up and die" ? ... way before deep fakes, just a lot-o-editing
