Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Also, mastodon isn't one website, so there's no reason to stay on one instance if you're finding it slow... The whole point of the fediverse is you can talk to others between servers.

My little server is hosted on parts scavenged from a roadside sign, and if my reading of the dashboard is correct, it's peering with 7,195 other servers which is pretty insane. Virtually everyone I talk to is on another server. Despite connecting to that many servers, it's really fast and during peak times there's simply no way to keep up with the timeline scrolling past.

One website that gets into the details of what's on the fediverse in terms of websites and software packages is https://the-federation.info/ which I've used in the past to find different lemmy and lotide communities to connect to on my lotide instance, but it also lists instances using mastodon or other similar software.

Think I've given away as many copies as I've actually sold for this exact reason.

SELL! SELL! SELL!

the only acceptable slavery is wage slavery.

(Even though it seems like you could wander around killing random bandits and be just fine)

The Hadean and Archean eras are really fascinating. I once spent days reading up about the different geological eras and it really helped me realize how small things add up over geological timeframes. Things we consider obvious and eternal are often relatively new additions to the planet.

It means all posts get to stay but they don't get to stay interacted with.

It's a shade better than constant bannings, but you know he couldn't actually have a free speech platform even as the world's richest man.

I mean, if these people would stop being so ignorant they'd realize that quote posts exist in lots of places, but they insist that mastodon is the fediverse.

meta nonsense
I hear people going "Oh, fediverse is slow!" and it's like... Nope. my instance is the fastest site on the Internet for me!

Not just in Africa, either.

If they don't know what data is, then how are they running a website?

I mean... Some people are into that sort of thing...

Such ideas might work if everyone was a good faith actor, but many people aren't. I like the example of walking around the mall of America with your personal information on a giant sign above your head. Most people wouldn't do that because of course some of the other people walking around might do something bad with the information.

Hell, those stickers on minivans with the number of kids and the names are discouraged. Why? Because someone nefarious might misuse that information. There's a lot less people around your minivan than a twitter account.

I like a lot of what Peterson has to say, but he's totally wrong on the whole "anonymity will make people nice" thing. It's wrong, it's stupid, and it's dangerous. The fact that he's had his academic career totally destroyed should be a clue-in as to why some people might not want to attach their real identities to true opinions.

I don't know why some of these people don't just turn right around and head back to big tech if they want to be coddled so badly.

Maybe Adam Frisch can do onlyfans? I hear that's what Democrats think people do after losing races.

If you're gonna take a shot, be a man and plan it so it counts.

Otherwise you're just a bitch making a bailiffs day hard.

Man, I need to start an investment firm...

Is Russia a motorcycle? Because his self-driving algorithms are great at hitting those.

They seem to want the same control they bullied big tech into providing without realizing that it's impossible. The best they can do is bar their own windows and lock their own doors, but they don't realize that just means they can't see the sun.
