@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

Easily one of the stupidest #Fediverse posts I’ve ever seen

The TL;DR is–and I’m not making this up–“block all #Pleroma instances because people can follow you without your permission”

Politicians don't get punished for making unconstitutional laws. They get paid.

What should happen instead, is that any Federal official who votes to enact an Unconstitutional law should be deemed to have violated their oath of office, and consequently to be removed from office by court order, and forever barred from serving in any office of public trust.

It's a little sad that people are gonna publicly rant about something while they have blocked the person who can fix the issue..

It's okay you block half the world but please stop publicly bitch about it if other won't do the same

At that point you're not much better than those who need to be blocked

Stop managing others people instances, thanks

Want captchas for Pleroma that may be harder to crack?
Pleroma uses a C captcha generator from huacnlee/rucaptcha on GitHub, but it’s an older version, and it has been updated to generate much stronger captchas now.

The problem is that it’s now written in Rust, so I don’t think Pleroma devs will even think about accepting this upstream unless someone rewrites it in C/C++, but I did it anyway.

I modified the Rust code to be a cli and output the same thing the old C stuff did (https://github.com/animeavi/rucaptcha), so it’s a drop-in replacement. If you want you can even compile this on your own PC and replace the binary in /opt/pleroma/deps/captcha/priv and be done with it.

If you want to do it a more “proper” way, keep reading.

You need to install Rust+Cargo first of course.

Replace the existing :captcha in mix.exs for Pleroma with those values.

{:captcha, git: "https://github.com/animeavi/elixir-captcha.git", ref: "d280d06ae7ba7757a772567b9e608dba3a0c0ae2"},

Then run mix deps.get and mix compile, all that good stuff, it will take a while because Rust lol, but you can keep the instance running while it compiles, and it should just work.

First two pics are current Pleroma captchas, last two are the new ones.
