On the controversy.

When I joined the fediverse I was told that its decentralised nature made it impossible for a big corporation to take it over. Then why are people so afraid of Meta?

I didn't come here to be isolated from the outside world. I just don't want to be controlled by one single corporate entity.

But some activists seem to think we should build a different kind of wall and be hostile to anything "commercial".

I'm not up for that.

paisley_peinforte,

@aristeon89 @anubis2814 God the purity test nonsense infuriates me. Baby goes out with the bathwater every time.

Here's one thing I dislike about mastodon.

I've got a friend that I'd like very much to follow from another instance. Problem? His instance is blocking mine. There is absolutely nothing I can do, besides writing to the mods of my instance and ask them why it is blocked, which I have a pretty good idea as to why already anyway, thanks to a friend we have in common. And all of that so I can talk to this one friend over there? Bloody unlikely they would reconsider.

I should be able to bypass that block for a specific user. I'm really, really annoyed right now, and sad I won't be able to follow this friend unless one of us move to another instance. I don't want to move and I'm pretty sure neither does he. So... We're both screwed over, I guess.

paisley_peinforte,

@xogium This is why I wish the Fediverse was set up in a more peer-to-peer manner where the sole blocking power comes from the user. Why can't we be able to "block all users from server X except for user Y"?

This article sums up the issues I have with the quite comprehensively. I want this to work out. I don't wan to go back to Musk's hellpit. I'm just becoming frustrated.

paisley_peinforte,

@FinchHaven That reaction is exactly what the article's talking about.

God maybe some of us aren't having children because we can't bloody afford it because society has been systematically ruined fiscally, environmentally and morally by the Tories and who wants to bring a child into a facist, toxic state in poverty?

Repost of my uberlong G1 reaction thread from December 2021 when
I got tired of secondhand viewing @dr_xadium's G1 marathon and decided to get stuck in for myself.

"Boost more, it's the only way people's work you like gets seen" "Boost less, I want to see more OC" "Follow back a lot" "Don't follow too many because then you look like a bot"

There's a lot of peer pressure on how to just EXIST here I didn't really see on Twitter. Some time it feels like one is being bombarded on all sides.

I think, as I decided on Twitter ages ago, I will commit to being civil and respectful, but beyond that it's my timeline and follows and I'll use them as I please.

I don't think Mastodon will fail. I like the people I've met here by and large, but I am still extremely concerned by the way defederation can work at the server level as opposed to the user level and it doesn't seem like most think this is a problem. I want to reach the wider world and vice versa without being invisibly prevented from doing so. Maybe this is selfish of me, but if I'm honest that's my use case for social media. I want news and information and discourse and while Mastodon is making strides, if the fediverse is just going to unilaterally cut off a huge part of the world, I will have a choice to make on where to have my main presence.

I am constantly fascinated by the way our brains "lie" to us about the environment (interpolating visual frames, glossing over saccades, literally flipping what our eyes take in upside down, etc) - but I hadn't considered that even our perception of "Colour" is a lie of a sort. "Colour" is not an intrinsic property of an object, but rather how that object scatters light. Also colours like Magenta are actually interpolated by our brains...

What is "the real" at this point? "Reality" really does feel like a set of approximated perceptions we've all taken as axiomatic.

This is the typical "fuck you, I already got mine" attitude that enrages me about the wealthy and powerful.

Why is JMS promoting a new logo?

What is coming?

paisley_peinforte, to random

Ugh seeing chatter about more high-level defederations. I've said my peace on this. If one thing is going to turn me off the fediverse it's this. If people I talk to who are completely innocent just vanish one day because someone starts getting philosophically irritated with their server admin what's the point.

I'll say again - there needs to be a client-to-client model somehow where the fediverse servers are nothing more than data relays and can e routed around if one or more go down. Then people can choose for themselves what's spam / dangerous and what isn't and block accordingly.

I definitely think part of The Verge’s commentary is sexism. This idea that tech is for men or that perhaps because the Fediverse is a little bit technical means women can’t do it. It’s like something from the 1920s. Not including the fact that women have been programmers since Ada Lovelace and beyond.

There are plenty of women on here who are definitely not technical and who get by just fine. Perhaps the robust moderation and blocking tools appeal to women who’ve gotten tired of an endless supply of dick pics and misogyny on other platforms, something that the techbro sausage fest that is electronic journalism can’t wrap their heads around.
