KIRK: Set phasers to stunning.

SPOCK: You mean stun, sir.

KIRK: *already backlit and shirtless* No Mr Spock.

@david@mstdn.ything.xyz @aurynn @maegul

if it's possible, someone *will* do it, eh? Nah, I reject that.

I think your point was to say "it is difficult or impossible to entirely prevent on a technical level", and I totally agree there.

But, man, there are so many basic fuckin' accessibility projects that haven't "just magically happened" because they're possible. Things get built because people care enough to build them. It's hard to look at what you said and not be bitter as fuck, and this is as someone who spends time building accessibility tools, but wanting more.

Being toxic to toxic developers saps the 'caring' out of their project and drains their energy, which usually shuts them down. It isn't a 100% solution, but it's pretty dang effective and requires no changes to code.

@thufie yeah, but phrased in a way that extends it to everyone else, it's the 'contempt culture' thing but applied to editors

@thufie idk, let other people use the tools they want to use? seems kinda pointless to push that preference

how the fuck is this Bring Me To Life techno remix actually so good

nice, away from home long enough today that my AQC CO2 sensor could callibrate

re: not playing devil's advocate 

@dysphoricunicorn yeah, that's the only reasonable use so far. so IMO if GTS gets anything like it, it'd just be for content warnings / media spoilers. Editing content seems super icky

re: pleroma racism 

ah yes

>MRF polices are much more flexible in what you can do with filters. For example, you could count the occurances of a word, or modify the word to be censored le ts. It opens the door to more specialsed moderation strategies and also enables cool stuff.

i was so fucking right

@aurynn I have a patch for the authenticated users' ratelimit but might not be ideal for you

@aurynn Mastodon's ratelimits are very restrictive, even the normal (mobile) webclient runs into them quite a lot. You can check the headers to see how quick you're going through the 300 requests / 5 minutes

pleroma racism 

my first thought with pleroma MRF is the "i filter the posts where my mutuals use the n-word so i'm not racist actually" users

I did 5 seconds of research on the person requesting MRF functionality in GoToSocial and I wasn't wrong

why are they always Like This

techbro: I'm gonna write code to take advantage of all this juicy Mastodon data!
Techbro, shortly later: wow the Mastodon people are really unpleasant to people who take advantage of all that data, and that makes me sad and now I won't make tools that unethically take advantage of all the data

Me: System working as designed.

@artemis @haskal yeah over the past years I've kinda staggered my upgrades, also going up in size one at a time
