fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
kiwifarms, suspend list scraping
It's important context that this tool was made by kiwifarms, and expliclity links to their git in the footer.
All of these requests have been along the lines of "look we have a perfect set of rules there's no possibility at all you blocked us for good reason".
1. we can block for whatever reason we want, it's a discussion to have within our own community, not with you.
2. you're using a kiwifarms tool to get this info. fuck off

"mastodon is awful you have to make all these different accounts because all of the instances are based around different hobbies"

meta, mastodon marketing malarkey
Honestly, though, why would you offer to host brands? They have advertising budgets, they can host their own instances.
Are you really that desperate to make Mastodon take off (even though they’re not birds and can’t fly)? Is smooth onboarding of new users that important to you? To what end?

Dear @libreoffice - read the room, please. Blockchain is NOT something your wider community is interested in. To put it friendly. Putting out a blog entry trying to raise interest in Blockchain and LibreOffice is so badly timed that I am astonished it even made it through your editorial process.

Would've appreciated a notice from ... whoever it is outside my window doing what sounds like a rave.
Have a blast, mate. But you should at least send folks notices or attach them to the doors of *residences* and let them know that their evenings are going to be full of music they can't drown out, even with their windows closed.

Where do I begin?

@rgegriff I think a common misconception of mastodon is that because many instances have a central theme, that that is the only content you're allowed to post there, and in my experience that's extremely rare

@joepie91 This is also why NGOs are able to get away with a lot of the exploitation and abuses they do. The veneer of niceness helps enable it and makes it so much easier to overlook how awful they can be.
I almost can't believe I need to repeat this, but: the "nice" companies are the *most dangerous* ones.
re: meta, hachyderm, corporate capture
Can the corporate apologists kindly stop replying to this with some variation of "not all corporations are bad"?
You are not telling me anything I haven't heard a thousand times in my time on this earth, and there is a *reason* I am not considering it as a valid counterargument.
Maybe think about why that is, before assuming that I must just be clueless on the matter.

luring all the corporations onto a mastodon instance and then throwing the server down a well, thereby killing all the corporations instantly, the curse is lifted

Inventing a new type of person in my head, they’re in their late 30s, devopsy and they fucking love capitalism and also think mastodon is a brand new toy just for them, that nobody else had discovered til November 2022
