@nota@chaos.social @joepie91 roko's basilisk and you make the entire basilisk

meta, short rant 

Isn't it remarkable how *every single time* some asshat tries to fuck with the fediverse by corporatizing or full-text-indexing it, they *always* justify it by saying "well it's inevitable, it'll happen eventually", apparently not realizing that *they are the one making it happen*.

nothing, shitpost 

it's nice they sell weighed blankets but also, I have a scale at home, i can put it on there myself

@alasaarela with all due respect my dude this is nonsensical. are the VCs backing startups not "corporate overlords"? what makes you think capital investment and weird startup culture is something that masto users want or desire? what makes you think "allowing decentralization of social media" requires this? or that it hasn't already been happening without any VCs or startups needed? you're a november 2022, literally stop projecting your fucked up lil cis white techbro culture on us and listen to existing users please

@thufie i guess it's all the same white-label vape manufacturer, maybe brands pick their own liquid to fill it with or not even that

@vyr nice, we're also compiling research on it for GoToSocial, and it's on our (funded) roadmap to work on.

As a stop-gap solution for the Mastodon 4.x public api shit I'm working on [FediFox Shield](git.pixie.town/f0x/fedifox-shi)

@f0x for those playing at home, this is the latest greylist bug tracker entry github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i and i've added my own commentary speculating on what we'd need to actually implement this

🦆 how many times do I have to refresh my production instance before it updates to the code I'm editing locally

@Vierkantor great, time to return to my task at hand, which i perform in return for monetary compensation

@vyr agreed, but those don't protect against bad-actor servers at all.. we need better ways to limit federation for that

wow i hate the concept of professionalism and work to destroy it every day

@vyr they also have some icky growth/marketing based AI project equelsocial.com/story

so they might be ingesting federated content to feed their beast

equel.social/about

y'all wanna see a Mastodon server that makes you log in with LinkedIn to enforce a real name policy?

they're trying to out-Hachyderm Hachyderm as far as gross corporate vibes and i think they may succeed

Unlike most communities, we require our members to use their real identities to facilitate building trust and a professional reputation. We ensure real identities by asking our members to login with LinkedIn.

We will soon release the following features: - cross-posting to LinkedIn and Twitter - topic-based groups and live chat - goal-based suggested connections on Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Twitter

this is not any kind of call to action i just think it's funny in a sad way
