Aurynn ShawProposed resolution:
When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.
No ads on fedi.
Edit: This is a PROPOSAL. The intent of this is not to dictate terms, but to encourage admins to develop and consider policy before the crisis happens.
But I came into this thinking that certain extremely popular frameworks should be shoveled into the recycle bin where they've always belonged, so maybe I'm not "separating the art from the artist" enough.
That said, software IS politics. If you don't think so, you're in a bubble.
I don't think that having a regrettable opinion should be necessarily disqualifying for technological leadership, but I DO think that if you've consistently published blog posts where you totally miss the point and rage against social progressivism it's fair for everyone else to question your critical thinking and logic processes and that should maybe extend to your software and business.
Just spent 4 hours trying to get a PRE-CONFIGURED server to start Mastodon and I have simply deleted the server now.
A full-time salary is barely enough to make me tolerate having to co-exist with Rails.
It's a hate crime to ship Ruby or Rails code outside of your local machine.
People who are vocally opposed to something like Mastodon due to:
- "the sign up is too hard"
- "following people is confusing"
- "it's not private because of server admins"
...will NEVER be convinced - by words - of the merits. The only way those people will ever join is if it's the dominant platform, or they can make money on it somehow.
I've stopped wasting my time trying to use rational arguments with them.
alex dadsitetwitter: your mastodon server admin reads every DM you send. they actually read them and assign a score
mastodon admins who roll their own: sorry everyone images aren't going to work for the next sixty-ninety years. what's a DM
99% of mastodon admins who are just normies who pay for shared hosting: we can't read dms. we can't even choose when to update. we can't even turn the lights off in this room
lead mastodon dev: actually they're "mentioned people only posts," hope this helps. Cheers!
Zach LeathermanCheers to @slightlyoff as he, uh… debates the merits/drawbacks of the JavaScript industrial complex tonight 😅
I wonder if the median Lighthouse scores of web sites built with Next.js will come up! 👀
Dan LuuIt's so obvious that it's ok for things to not be profit maximizing that it's sort of absurd to think that someone would think that someone would say that things must be profit maximizing, and I think that if you asked the people writing the comments I'm referring to, they'd agree in the abstract that it's ok to not maximize profit.
This is the really insidious thing about absorbing values from the environment around you.
