(Will list them all I find below: https://toots.hwl.li/@jase/110578809874522137)
This is for informative purposes for anyone desiring to block anything ran by Stux, since he runs so damn much.
And for anyone that saw when he blocked my instance at the end of May, and if your only context is based on my pissy report at him, here's context on that, all the reasons that lead to me blocking him 10 months ago that he had a tantrum to his followers over about:
https://toots.hwl.li/@jase/110572122255495642
(And his Geddit instance hasn't blocked anything yet from when I last looked either and is actively federating with baest and crap, how clever..)
Edit: just remembered, Stux also runs the Soapbox front end at coffee.mastodon.coffee.. another thing I have not been happy at all at him about, and he used to have it also at beta.mstdn.social.

Seeing the responses of some of the more.. 'respectable' instance admins to critical questions about their stance on the Facebook thing, I am starting to understand the term "white fragility" better and better

Q: What do you call it when for-profit social media companies are able to spread their malware into open-source code by having a secret meeting with the lead dev?
A: An Eugenvector
(That's pronounced OY-gen-vek-tor.)
venting
Something else that frustrates me: the casual manner in which some people are betting *other people's* safety on their own confident belief that Facebook "would never do such a thing"
angry, long, sort of meta, but also about politics in general
And yet again, the greatest threat to the Fediverse isn't Meta - but the people doing their work for them and actively making room for them by "giving them a chance", "we should have a calm conversation about this", etc.
You're actively complicit in this. Instead of listening to the many marginalized folks sounding the alarm, fearing for the continued existence and safety of their communities... you choose to give the "benefit of the doubt" to a corporation with a decade+ track record of exploitation, consent violations, and literal genocide(!).
You care more about "growth", about some superficial appearance of neutrality and rationality, about recognition by a 'prestigious' tech corp, than you do about the safety of vulnerable folks in your community.
You chose to trust a demonstrably dishonest corporation instead of your fellow community members.
And while you might think that this is 'just being rational' or 'not a big deal', it's extremely clear to everybody else what choice you've made, and that people cannot depend on you for their safety.
This has consequences, and if you wonder why people stop trusting you or being patient with you, this is why.
And all of this applies much more broadly than just the current Facebook/fedi situation, because this happens *all the time* in politics, with (especially privileged) people defending oppressive and violent institutions, often just to avoid their own discomfort.
You are complicit. You chose to be a part of the problem. You're not neutral - you picked a side, like it or not.

you must put water into your body so that it will function, thank you from a robot who loves you.
re: meta (thrice)
Also, as for the "we should have a careful conversation about Meta, not this panic":
The correct time to have that "conversation" was several weeks ago, when marginalized folks first started talking about Facebook's problematic plans, not "possibly days before Facebook launches and it will be too late if we don't act now"
re: meta (thrice)
And by-and-large, it's not the privileged cishet white dudes, of course
meta (thrice)
Sure is starting to shake out who are actually willing to fight for the continued existence of fedi
meta (both)
Want to bet that the Facebook folks that fedi admins were invited to talk to, are the exact same folks that handle acquisition outreach?
You know, the people who are specifically trained and whose *entire job* it is to appear friendly and cooperative and generally lie about things, so as to convince smaller companies to sell out to them?

Alright fedi, last time I moved I had to leave my old account open 'cause I've got a bunch of old threads that keep getting updates and there wasn't a way to move your posts, still isn't on Mastodon 'cause if there were then .social would be easier to move off, Fedi ppl please tell me if there's a different engine that I can import my posts to on a different server

So purely theoretically:
If you sign an NDA and the large company tells you a bunch of things they are absolutely not planning to do, but essentially just a bunch of possible futures for the fediverse.
Then you, open source developer implement or talk about them at some point.
Then the megacorp threatens to sue you for NDA breach, unless of course you stop talking/implementing that feature.
Then the open source developer complies because lack of funds.

Given how stux keeps going on about eg. Curator "spreading lies about Meta" without elaborating further, one has to wonder exactly what they believe the truth is, and exactly how they know that
