>except they actually weren't, and it was just marketing.
Being friends of OSS could even be the former intention of beings who are in charge, which makes the whole corporation world even scarier. Good intentions get twisted by need to be profitable.
In threads about corporations on Fedi, I see lot of posts about "There are good beings in there". No one is questioning that. I for example like what those working at Oxide computer do, and if I had to decide where to go next, working with them would be amazing.
But corporation itself is a separate entity from those who work there. Entity with its own motives that sometimes align, but only as long as it pays off.

Thoughts on instance admin and more journa.host
If your leadership structure is so diffuse that you can't hit a really slow ball question like "Can your users post Kiwifarms stalker software links?"
Then you fucked it up
You did it wrong
And there's no way to ever fix that
The whole instance needs to burn

Thoughts on instance admin and more journa.host
So when I emailed Adam at journa.host he told me that he is one of 10 mods at that instance
And so he couldn't tell me whether the behaviour in question is acceptable for a user on his instance
And that is the opposite of what you want to happen with your instance admin policy. That's a fucking nightmare scenario.

it's not a controversial opinion that being neutral on Nazis is the wrong move. if you think it is, you're in the wrong. also I'll hurt your body

Hello new followers who seem to have imported their follow lists from Twitter wholesale: I hope you're prepared for my decidedly more anticapitalist takes here 🙃

switter (the sex worker instance) was closed because of literal actual government interference from numerous nations. please do the reading before painting fedi with a swerf or other reactionary brush. i want sex workers to be SAFE dammit and that means knowing when we can't responsibly be a part of your work. and sex work is work.
please read https://switter.at/ - their own words - before developing a Take.

somewhere out there there's a conference room full of people dressed much nicer than you and I which admittedly is a very easy bar to clear because I'm just wearing my pajamas and anyways they've got a big pad of paper on an easel that has the word "mastodon" written on it in big red letters and "mastodon" is circled several times with the same red marker and nobody in the room can figure out what "mastodon" is and why the company isn't making any money from it toot toot

#Fediblock journa.host
One of their users wrote an article that contains a link to stalker sofware from Kiwifarms
They also linked back to me without even talking to me
They are also doing block evasion to get material for their stories

don't apologize to me that "this is complicated" if the problem is that you haven't explained what you mean, please
I am pretty good with complication but less good at mind reading
Well, this wasn't how I was planning to spend the day.

Fun fact from an etymology geek:
'polymath' doesn't come from the word mathematics, but from their shared root manthanein meaning ‘learn’. So the Greek word Greek polumathēs meaning ‘having learned much’, came before the word mathēmatikē tekhnē, which is where we got 'mathematics'.

re: kiwifarms, suspend list scraping
it's confirmed that qoto.org used a fascist's tool to mass send emails to instances who suspend them for good reason. https://qoto.org/@freemo/109360881187600726

Half of web users are running ad blockers.
With your support and help, we can get that number higher.

Remember: qoto dot org is a "Free speech" instance that refuses to defederate the nasty and horrible and hate speech side of the fediverse.
You should block them.
Your admin should fediblock them.
