My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Well this approach to user data protection is... novel:
"If you would like to remove all personal data from [our site], simply log back in and remove or replace any personal information with fictitious data."
From the folks at Tax Act dot com.

Imagine *not* trying to craft a #hottake that will stir people up and get you them clicks.
Imagine #vulnerability and genuine human connection.

@AudreyJune The trajectory is certainly easy to plot :D
@discordiankitty@mastodon.me.uk I wouldn't worry too much about overwhelming a small server, to be honest, as long as your toots are generally in line with the vibe there. Some topic-specific servers ask to put other topics under a CW, but many also don't, I think.
And you could always just ask the admin if you're unsure :) Most admins are very approachable on here

@AudreyJune (Well, technically Twitter could still survive by being sold for pennies on the dollar fast enough that people haven't emotionally detached from the platform yet, Yahoo-style. But with how stubborn Musk is, I don't really see that happening...)

@AudreyJune Ah, but the difference there is that they're run into the ground by disinterested rich folks with more money than sense, and who mainly need a place to stash their debts. Elon probably genuinely *cares*, but still doesn't really have any sense, and that makes it much more explosive! :p
If nothing else, I guess we get some once-in-a-lifetime entertainment out of something that was doomed to fail.

@AudreyJune Rationally it's not really surprising to me, because it's the inevitable and logical endpoint for a rich/powerful asshole with a can-do-no-wrong cult following behind it, but practically... yeah, it's still astonishing and almost feels surreal.

@AudreyJune I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing folds in a week or two, because some system somewhere goes down and they fired the people responsible for making it not do that. Apparently nearly everyone they've begged to come back, has pretty much told them to "fuck off". Except for the H1B folks, who have no other choice...
The whole thing is eerily reminiscent of the downfall of Freenode, just at a much larger scale

crypto, poker
So, fun fact, large parts of the poker economy are tied to crypto.
This is especially true of online poker because ever since congress passed the UIGEA in 2006, it has been fairly difficult to transfer money onto internet gaming sites via conventional means.
Luckily for me, I don’t play online very much these days, and neither do the players in the cardrooms that I am consistently beating.
But it should be interesting watching the panic set in.

Pls boost of you don't know!
@kescher I wonder if there's something like nofollow tags for keywords in a post?

personal opinion:
if you want to post a thing and have it easily available for a long time,
make a static website. doesn't need to be a complicated one. get a website generator, or just write the html yourself. you don't even need a domain, you can use #neocities or some other free service.
because moving a social media profile will always be a complicated process. but a static website can be moved to basically anywhere and will survive for much longer.

@DuckForTheDuck Ik zou eerst even een backup van je account downloaden :p
@DuckForTheDuck Ah ja, dat was voor mij wel anders. Daar kom ik nu al een paar maanden eigenlijk nauwelijks meer, en dat heeft m'n gezondheid veel goed gedaan. Nu kom ik er eigenlijk alleen nog als ramptoerist voor de klikobrand van Musk...
@joenepraat Misschien is https://distro.f-91w.club/fedizine/fedizine_read.pdf wel nuttig voor de wandelclub, met dank aan @fedizine@kolektiva.social
@DuckForTheDuck Gaat voor mij ook in golven, hoor. Soms is de sociale energie ook gewoon even op.
@DuckForTheDuck Ik ben er in ieder geval nog, hoor :p

migration meta ➖️
I think I managed to understand more about why so many arguments against Mastodon as being too complex bother me, why they get under my skin. It really feels like people aren't arguing against Mastodon in particular, but rather are positively arguing that walled gardens are inherently good. At some point, it seems like the fully corporatized model captured peoples' imaginations such that the internet of the late 90s may no Ionger be possible.
