the core downfall of mastodon is that every instance is an opportunity to censor potentially thousands of individuals on the grounds of vague reasons such as “in appropriate content”

their entire architecture is based around the idea that a single instance admin has the power to decide what its users are allowed to see, and you can’t easily move to another relay without rebuilding your social graph.

why people still use this protocol is mind boggling to me.

let users control their own feed ffs. Individuals and clients should have this power, not relay tinpot dictators.

@32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7@mostr.pub @fedi_block_bot As the creator of Mastodon, I completely agree with you.

Pleroma does something very brave to deal with race conditions. They simply don't care.

@feld It's not really a problem. More of a trade-off. I'm considering copying Pleroma's way of not caring. It's about emoji react counts. To update the count, we SELECT the object, modify, then UPDATE. But if two processes SELECT at the same time, the later one will overwrite the prior one. The solution is to lock it, or something? Doesn't seem worth the added complexity. Or use Redis, which actually supports Sets, which really doesn't seem worth it. So what it's doing is actually fine. Unlike when Pleroma got Webfingered yesterday. 😂

Had a dream I ate a piece of steak at a venue. I literally couldn't stop myself. Then I saw the entire carcass fit on my plate. Then some guy got up and started shouting, "it's veal! these are baby cows! This is highly unethical!" And I started shouting back, "what is the difference between a baby cow and an adult cow?! Huh?! Huh?!"
