re: moto moto 

@katnjiapus@toot.site that sure was something lmao

@goat@hellsite.site but do you have grapperhaus (our shitty ex-minister of "justice" and "security")

re: practical meta stuff 

@darckcrystale @kouett @joepie91 for sure, and I appreciate that, but I still expect glitch-soc will largely follow upstream, because they don't have the resources/intent to actual independence. This is already apparent by the wide public api access introduced in Mastodon 4.x (ignoring secure_mode) also being included in glitch-soc

@meave@toot.site reporting my own toots so the admins know to boost them

re: practical meta stuff 

@kouett @joepie91 the issue with glitch-soc is that sole maintainer is also a full-time Mastodon employee, and glitch-soc generally just follows the direction of upstream with some modifications

@tobi im somewhat related also thinking about 'mysoginists make great informants' sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines

Meta meta, NDAs, and union busting techniques 

It is pretty frustrating to see folks' credulity and craving for attention/importance being exploited in real time.

This whole 'meet with some admins and make them sign NDAs' thing reminds me very much of union busting tactics. You (megacorp) are picking out the chosen few who crave love from daddy corporation, and convincing them selling out is the best thing to do for their community. It immediately creates division and identifies weak points for strategic exploitation later on.

It's like, super transparent. Maybe we should be looking to anti union busting techniques to help us out here.

How do unions successfully deal with corpos trying to have closed-doors meetings with select community leaders?

meta 

Zero surprise that the prominent fedi people meeting with Facebook/Meta under NDA all seem to be the usual white tech dudes with poorly-moderated instances that have disregarded warnings from the community about scale for a long time

Heard some rumblings about Meta having NDA'd meetings with some fedi admins.

GoToSocial will investigate automated blocking of Meta instances, as soon as we know more about what they're planning and what their software looks like.

Fuck Meta, they've caused more than enough harm elsewhere without wading into this place too; and fuck folks who are meeting with them in secret instead of simply and unambiguously telling them to fuck off.

Don't let those pieces of shit get a foothold here.

(Cue concern trolling and accusations of overreaction + elitism in 3, 2, ...)

structuralists (power), solutionists (change), essentialists (identity) are all kinda the same line of thought, so good to see how I can connect my criticisms on all of them

@schratze big bird will spread it's wings and keep our timelines safe

finally doing some more Culture & Society (uni course) writing, might have to edit my anti-techbro/solutionism rant a bit later, but good shit

wtf i clicked through to a post again and they're running gotosocial

@hikari@noyu.me and without expecting them to monetize it

@trivernis @syn kinda yeah, because it can local echo what you type as you type it, instead of waiting for the server to send you the character back

ive been told to stop referring to merriam webbster as "the dictionary girly"
