"The lack of an algorithmic feed is also a challenge to advertisers, who use it to have their products pushed to buyers who meet certain criteria. To this I say: Good."
We've dealt with two, yes two antisemitic instance moderators/admins this week- and this isn't especially unusual. It's sadly common, even on large instances.
It's really exhausting work, and so much of it is largely invisible. But it bugs me. When I see how many posts about how safe and progressive the #Fediverse is, when I know that it's only safe if you fit into certain boxes- it bugs me. Whenever I see someone post that, it actually hurts me a little, because it's a reminder of #JewsDontCount
But back to the point... There's a discussion in the CT about whether we should continue to silently take the actions we take, or whether we should publish it, to "Name and shame". I haven't been for this, personally, but I wonder if my belief needs to change. I don't know if it will change any minds, but maybe it will? Or maybe it will just make the mods here not feel so gaslit?
#MacOS friends and #fediverse folks: I need MacOS text editor/IDE, ideally FOSS. Sublime costs $100 for a license, which is out. Atom is depreciated. The vanilla TextEdit insists on saving .rtf. What are folks using?
Time for our usual chat so let’s grab our #KoffeeWithKyle and discuss the plans for the day and weekend ahead.
I’ve been awake going on 4.5hrs already. Couldn’t sleep much so went ahead and don’t some things out of the way. Updated my “now” page finally (https://kylereddoch.me/now/). Have work today here after a bit then relaxing after that.
The fediverse – lots of different facets, microboggling, pictures/video, etc, but they’re all venues you shoot your load to and stand back to witness appraisal etc
What about a different mode such as, well, if I wanted to plug in my electric guitar and practice a bit with a few other people synchronously every few mornings of a week before work?
A thing like that is nothing like the shape of the fediverse now, but it has users/accounts and other similar stuff, just the dynamic is completely different

I know technically it can be done. My brother is in an a cappella mens’ chorus. During the Covid lockdown they were able to rehearse and ultimately give a concert, entirely via zoom. I have no idea how difficult it was to deal with latency and lag issues, or any of the rest of the details, but they pulled it off. The result was beautiful.

Mit der Welle der Twitter Nutzenden ist auch ein Irrglaube entstanden, der nur schwer wieder aufzuräumen ist. Dieser Irrglaube ist, dass das #Fediverse erst mit #Mastodon entstanden ist. Das dem so nicht ist und korrigiert werden muss, wird teilweise mit recht harschen Reaktionen quittiert. #Besserwisser ist da noch die seichteste Form der Reaktion. Warum das dumm ist? Weil du wissen musst, womit du es zu tun hast, weil du nur dann verstehen kannst, wie die Dinge hier funktionieren.
Minął miesiąc od uruchomienia anglojęzycznej instancji #kbin
Przetrwanie najbliższych dni może okazać się wyzwaniem ;) Chyba powoli pora wypróbować Dedicated vCPU Hetznera lub wynieść te nieszczęsne miniatury na jakiś cdn.
Believe it or not it’s #NewMusic Friday again! There’s plenty of Metal to get stuck in to so here’s a selection of some things that are out out today. I would recommend The Bleeding and Imperishable if you like your #DeathMetal. Let me know if you find anything you like #Fediverse! #Metal#HeavyMetal#BlackMetal#ThrashMetal#PowerMetal
@HailsandAles listened to all of these - the ones that really stood out to me are The Bleeding, Johnny the Boy, and Claustrum -- just WOW to all three of those. 🤯
I'm investigating the setting up of a small community for my local hiking group. A place we can share photos, arrange meets, discuss trips etc. Anybody got any suggestions or recommendations of what platform on the #Fediverse might suit?
@AdamBishop@elperronegro Funnily enough Adam, I have just opened an account with readit.buzz. Probably a bit early to evaluate though as they are quite new and Kbin is probably inundated with ex Readit people.
