@malteengeler Aw feck. What in the tech dystopian hell were they thinking when they collected these? 🤦♀️

@malteengeler It's a garbage concept for promoting local optimization when we need global optimization to survive this, which big fossil fuel has held the keys to. The only answer is to seize their political power. That's the work
Devine Lu LinvegaWhen commodities break, they are easily replaced. When you break a chair, you buy another chair. We know well how to make one thousand chairs. They sit in boxes, lining the warehouses, ready for two-day shipping.
But when the unique breaks, we might mend.

David SterryPlease join me in welcoming @LEDCoyote and @mariha as maintainers in the C4Social community!
There are now three of us maintaining four repos, two of which being experimental forks of Mastodon and Diaspora*, one for our website https://C4social.org and another for the tooling to make your own fork.
✔️ We've reached critical mass and are ready to merge your docs and code toward the mission of... Creating magic through evolution of the Fediverse! 🎩🦎🎆
@obsolete29 Your accounts-followed set is overdetermined! Needs pruned to a more parsimonious model of the Mastodon Fediverse 😂 In all seriousness, though, this is a great feature request 👍
It's just terrifically sad to think about. But I hope that my above post isn't taken as some kind of tech-utopian hope or vision. My brain just.. started looking for ways to help. So many people have tried to help with all they had, many losing their lives in the process, and I firmly do not want to dishonor them. I need to sit with the news, read, and listen to the stories without reaching for my own soothing salve of trying to be useful right away.
@humanetech hahaha, indeed
@humanetech lol, I may be panicking and overstating a bit here, but it's certainly a big risk
@vortex_egg That's terrifying. Moderation and control is the main thing that brought me to fedi from Twitter, and I don't want to see that externalized burden (for fedi community and instance operators) destroying this place.
@humanetech I can imagine a big aspect of a Twitter-to-decentralized business plan would be: totally externalize moderation and community management to instance owners. They see it as a big risk and cost center to their centralized model, re. impending regulations you mentioned, and they would completely crush the Fediverse with this externality.
