Legality has nothing to do with morality. People who think this are cop apologists and are probably the type to just follow orders in a fascist society.
While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn’t go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I’m sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn’t go and burn down the church.
Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you’re willing to pay $$$.
Don’t make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.
I’ve self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.
This pretty much nails where I was in my previous job, where I was for years. In a better place now because I went back to school and got a different much better job (easier in a lot of ways, and much better pay and opportunities). I had to dig myself out of my wage-slavery and it took some time and dedication. I still think about the next paycheck but the stress is much lower now.
I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.
There’s always going to be groups of people who are not “in the know” and clueless about certain things, they are known as normies. I don’t see why it’s bad to label them. People use jargon and labels to facilitate discussion and people being ignorant on certain things like the Fediverse is on them, at least by this point.
I’m running a small Gotosocial based instance and will be defederating simply because I’m afraid of the bandwidth and general load when like there is 1+ billion new users federating via Threads.
Of course you don’t. I’m sure 95% of people don’t. Most people don’t bother taking a stand on things unless it affects something more substantial like their wallets.
Yes. What they specifically did though was extend the protocol so that anyone who wasn’t using their version of XMPP via Google Talk would be incompatible or seem “broken” when it really wasn’t. It’s just that they were using non-standard features, both incentivizing people to just switch to Google Talk and for development on the core protocol to slow down.
I bet money Threads is going to do the same thing. They’ll introduce Threads only features that don’t work with all the standard Activitypub implementations, causing frustration with Thread users and putting pressure on people to just jump ship to Threads from standard Activitypub implementations.
I’m kind of in a strange boat right now where I’m really comfortable in Canada yet I can’t shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card,...

Are we defederating from Threads?
I’ve seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.
Any updates on the Tumblr activitypub support?
Just wondering
Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA?
