I have many issues with hexbear, but transphobia is not one of them. They are explicitly and aggressively trans inclusive

Until some folks can’t afford to cleanse their genes and are denied the right to have children for “safety reasons” and suddenly, fertility and genetics are under state control.

Though I’m currently testing out Quiblr, to see how its custom feed works for me.

I was responding to someone who saw no need for Wayland to exist, not advocating for everyone to use it

but it works

For some definitions of “works”

what’s stopping you from making one

The fact that it’s discord…

Yep, it was one of his posts referring to implementing his existing approach to AP that I was thinking off!

If I was making my living off of my name, I wouldn’t even know some random user with no followers from a troll domain exists.

Whatever the reason celebs don’t take to the fediverse, this isn’t it…

That’s why she hosts her own domain, instead of sending half a million followers to some random fediverse instance.

Not much. Most of my listening is done via “random” streams or the radio at work.

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

Swiper, no swiping!

Why would someone host a server and pay for it out of their own pocket, when the protocol just turns in to an invisible piece of infrastructure that people don’t even know exists?

AP instances allow for communities and identity to build around them, so there is a non monetary incentive to running them, but what’s the incentive to run an equivalent on bluesky and make it public?

The Sixth Sense. I didn’t predict the twist because I didn’t know it had a twist, so when it dropped, it absolutely delivered.

Same with Memento, but less so, because I was actively trying to work out what was happening. The twist caught me by surprise, but I knew some sort of reveal was coming

The proposal I saw was basically a way of “signing” your posts, and then when they federate somewhere else, you can create an account on another instance and “claim” the posts that have federated there as yours, with your private key.

Obviously, you couldn’t access posts that never federated to the instance in the first place, but even with some lost content, it would let you edit, and post new content.

And as I understood this proposal, basically, you could have multiple active accounts, all of which are “you”, and allow you to control your content with the same permissions.

There are multiple governments, political parties and hate groups explicitly focused on taking away my rights and ensuring I can’t exist safely and openly.

It’s got nothing to do with personality. I’m exposed to a barrage of hateful media targeting folk like me every single day, and it’s next to impossible to escape.

So finding spaces where I can just not have to deal with that shit is important

White listing encourages centralisation because it makes it really hard for new communities/instances to develop the trust they need to be included in existing white list circles.

Assuming that “bigots” is not a synonym for “anyone I disagree with”, then fair enough.

Why would it be?

My underlying point is that technology is making it very easy to wall ourselves off into comfortable echo chambers

Your experience is different to mine. I wish I could wall myself off from people who want to remove my rights and target me with hate, but I’ve yet to find a way of doing that.
