so we've gone from people generally agreeing that google killed XMPP to some spirited debate as to whether that is still true or if XMPP simply killed itself because maybe facebook will like us more if we stop making observations about corporations - I expect that by 2033 we will have people insisting that it was actually XMPP that killed google (google will nevertheless still be alive and well having purchased 65% of congress to make installing an ad blocker a felony in the US)

Wie in of in de buurt van #Amsterdam is zo meteen. Er is een feestje op het #Leidseplein. 🥳 Vanaf 19u.

#Rutte

Just a reminder that constantly trying to "debate" each other online just ruins everything. https://sadgrl.online/cyberspace/internet-manifesto #yesterweb #socialmedia #oldweb #indieweb #sadgirl

People user Speaker's Corner as an analogy for social media. It's a corner of Hyde Park. I think it used to really be something, but now it's a bunch of unpleasant people standing on step ladders holding bullhorns and all ranting at the same time, half of them about Jesus. I've seen videos of queers trying this and being harassed. I actively avoid the corner when this is happening.

Anyway, Silicon Valley types saw this mentioned in a book and thought it would be a great model for building community. It's maybe good for rousing rabble, but it's mostly the most irritating men on earth shouting over each other.

Edit: there is now a mitigation available. It should be safe to use Lemmy again as long as your instance has applied the fix.

Yep, it looks like there is a XSS vulnerability with Lemmy that has been widely exploited, allowing the attackers to steal cookie credentials including potentially those of the site admins.

Some other non-compromised Lemmy instances have taken themselves offline until a fix is available.

Kbin is not affected as far as I can see.

If you have a Lemmy account, don't use it at the moment!

Ook als #Rutte nu echt definitief opdondert - wat ergens nogal de vraag is - blijven we opgezadeld met verdere verrechtsing en een mainstream links dat net zo goed deel is van de verrotte establishment.

Er gaat niks goeds gebeuren in het parlement. Laten we dan vooral ook ons focussen op wat daarbuiten moet en kan gebeuren.

Zodra er een Kabinet gevallen is gaat het al snel over de vraag hoe (en door wie) er tot de volgende verkiezingen "op de winkel moet worden gepast." Maar wellicht het grootste probleem met Rutte is dat hij altijd - in 'missionaire' én 'demissionaire' tijden - pretendeert precies dat te doen: op een winkel passen.

Iedereen van harte gefeliciteerd met het einde van het tijdperk Rutte!

Prime minister just anounced this was his last term.

I take Snake very, very seriously

A quick tip if you have friends who haven't joined Mastodon yet: Don't say any variation of "join Mastodon" at this point

Just tell them to join either your instance or some instance you know that you think they'll gel with. Eliminate the decision paralysis and just get them started :3
