Luke LeBrunThe collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.
People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.
These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.
Dan Moved to Retro.socialDan Fixes Coin Ops: "You know," frantically but quietly packing up tools, "just because an arcade owner has made some questionable decisions" rummaging in the parts boxes for treasure "doesn't mean the whole arcade should suddenly get cut off," formatting the parts-ordering computer's hard drive "it's not fair to those who're unaware of the same things you're aware of" rescuing the mice from that one pinball machine "and who knows, with a little reflection he might" slams van door "ok let's go"

I look forward to continuing this farce on a fresh new Fediverse account. :)

I've learned a lot of Hideous Nonsense during the two decades I've run online communities, and I started posting that nonsense over on this thread on my old account: https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/105778289798706182 This thread continues right here, as soon as either I think of something else to add, or some new server admin does something foolish that I can point and cackle at.

I'm not gonna use the account migration thing, because I don't wanna lose access to my posts; a few of them are Massive Threads In Progress.
#fiveVideogames meme? Sure why not :)
1. #zooKeeper, playable on MAME. An overlooked and incredibly fun and diabolical risk-vs-reward trap, you can play it safe but you won't want to;
2. #themePark, Bullfrog's earlier take on better games, but this got me into the "Give folk a fun time while making bank" genre;
3. #redFactionGuerilla, literally smash capital with a big hammer;
4. #saintsRow, like GTA but way more fun and silly;
5. #raiden series, genre-defining vertical shooters zap zap!
Volkan Özçelik 🦄How to Catch a Mountain Lion
an illustrative guide
1. Place a cardboard box where the animal frequently visits.
2. Sit back and wait.
3. A cat is a cat is a cat.
Sin VegaI've worked with shitloads of personal data as well. nobody is called "ethan", it is reserved entirely for generic brownhair video game men
american devs and screenwriters love to call their everyman guy "ethan", a name I have never encountered in the wild in my entire life
Unnamed TNG skant beefcakeI'm serious about this
The only real power that other admins have to rein in a bad admin on another instance is the power to say "you fucked up so bad that we're blocking you"
So yes, we should all be blocking the big instances unless we all trust that somehow that power magically won't corrupt in this case
Scholar limits any instance with open registrations and 10k+ active users
