You might not be surprised to learn that I support fediblocking moth.social.

Don't support venture capital-backed anything for the fedi. They're here to destroy it, like they've destroyed everything else.

dependencies, capitalism 

I frequently talk about how the ideal dependency is one that does precisely one well-defined thing, rarely needs any maintenance, has no room for scope creep (because it only does exactly one thing), and that is so straightforward and unremarkable that you almost forget you're using it.

Explaining this to people is already exhausting, because this is a topic with a lot of misinformation and wrong assumptions floating around it.

But what *really* worries me is that even if everybody were to accept this on an 'intellectual level' overnight, it likely still isn't going to happen - because capitalist incentives work against it.

Why? Because you won't get millions of VC or acquisition money for something unremarkable that Just Works and needs no marketing copy.

Wrapping up a lot of loose ends today. Finally fixed my lighter, if anybody needs anything burning x

it doesn't seem able to list any toots from me, but did autocomplete my username with avatar, so they have a scraped user database for sure.
also no known way to even opt-out, not that that'd be enough. shit like this needs actual consent through opt-in

I wish them all the best whatever they are doing now, and wish for all of us still here to do the best that we can to make this a sincerely liberated social space and not just a bunch of nerdy flag waving hashtags-in-bio losers 2/2

Using this #FollowFriday to remember the friends we've lost from this space.
Deni, Swampy, Haf, Dumi, Ikora, everyone that stayed gone after PV closed or had to make themselves tiny and quiet elsewhere in this network; the ghosts of others I regularly stumble across in replies to old toots, and the people that are just about hanging on despite the shit they regularly face here. 1/2

cloudflare can eat a big old bag of dicks, and that's my professional opinion on the matter

if you work for cloudflare, quit

if you give money to cloudflare, stop

fuck those assholes
