im running out of funnies to @ forestbot with so quick, how do reply guys do it

@forestbot@hellsite.site just a 🦔 living in the moment, not a 🦊 in sight

Basically I always give the side-eye to massive instances for the following reasons:

1. Unless they are extremely well organized (like, professionally organized), they just can't do moderation properly; the numbers don't add up. It's irresponsible to create a space you can't safely moderate.

2. I wonder where they're getting the money to run servers that can handle that much traffic.

3. They usually use something like Cloudflare or some other CDN, which is a privacy/censorship nightmare.

4. Unless someone is running an absolute beast of a homeserver, they're likely hosted on Google/Amazon/Microsoft cloud servers, and are therefore giving a chunk of money to those shitty corporations.

on one hand i can literally point to ways in which the season made things worse, but somehow i felt it'd be way worse?

@forestbot@hellsite.site what an empty forest, not a 🦊 in sight

Addressing a crowd as "friends foes and lovers yet to be"

@haskal think i remembered that right, it was a nice book and not too long

from the wiki: " This is accomplished by wearing smart clothing providing gesture recognition"

@haskal i think good touchscreen ui's then tbh, and stuff like swyping but foss

Back on the subject of federated moderation (masto) versus centralized (insta):

While I do believe the federated model is better in terms of a higher concentration of admins, and more personal and friendly moderation, there are other issues with it:

1. No formalized system for discussing issues with other admins (both intra- and inter-instance) and resolving things in a measured and sensible way.

2. Scuffles between different instance admins who see themselves as being on opposing sides rather than as peers/colleagues.

3. Zero accountability or review process for admins who make questionable decisions.

4. The killswitch for an instance is ultimately in the admin's hands: if they pull the plug, it's over. That's a lot of responsibility.

Not sure how to resolve these issues. Thoughts?
