@Disa @RehnSturm256 It's definitely the degradation of a hobby meme but again.

Something you might only use to block servers posting illegal content yet again gets used to ban anyone the owner doesn't like, and it's worse when you have people literally on substances running instances.

@RehnSturm256 I’ve noticed fedi becoming like that too. It feels like when I started using fedi there were 2 sides of fedi. The “Canceldon instances”, and “Dark Fedi” ones. With a rare few fedi instances which managed to stay in contact with both somehow.

Now it feels like “Dark Fedi” is starting to get just as defederation happy as the rest of fedi which they would make fun of. So now you’re getting these weird subgroups of fedi, everyone forming their own little echo chambers.

It feels like being defederated by association used to be exclusively a “canceldon” thing pretty much, but now I’m noticing “based” “free speech” “dark fedi” instances doing it.

Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become to villain.

It’s kinda funny, I never started Shota House with the intention of being a “Free Speech Instance” always wanted to be a little cozier and slightly more moderated. Though it’s starting to seem like with baest gone, we’re one of the more light-touch free speech leaning instances.

not sure how I feel about that.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Paper Mario fans are even worse than Earthbound/Mother fans.

I will never get over the fact that people (including grown men) literally cried over this trailer for a remake of a game that they can already play.

Our ancestors thrived without fiat systems. Our descendants will view this artificial era as a dark age of manufactured limitation.

I found an interactive map where you can find restaurants that still use beef tallow instead of seed oils in their fryers.

Of course, you can't self-host it. But this article is interesting because it provides a honest description of their stack written by someone who appears to be a true believer.
