thanks for giving me a heart attack diggy- Anon Y. Moose
Thanks to Skywave for designing the image. Too bad he became one with a machine and couldn't see it in action :(
Another instance I was using went down and I kind of don't care to rejoin (thanks Baobab / Ryo for keeping me around for so long though, and not being bothered by my hot takes :D). Social media sucks, either way - even if it's open source / decentralized social media. You never get any engagement on your effortposts and - due to the chronological nature of social media - they basically evaporate in a few hours, never to be seen again. The software even discourages effortposts with the character limits; the whole thing is pretty much designed for flamewars / fucking around, which just isn't what I'm looking for. With how hated Elon Musk is, you can also expect a mass exodus from Twitter to the Fediverse, including the corporations that will now advertise there. I am already tired of the low effort posts by Mozilla, Tutanota, etc. that pretend to want a conversation but only want to shill their software - and this will get a lot worse soon. If the instance you are using dies, you will need to find another one but you won't be able to import the posts. There are no good clients outside of the web service - and even though I've been using it for so long, the interface is still confusing to me. It is also very resource intensive and in Pale Moon, freezes your entire browser on occassion. Anyway, my test drive with the fediverse has now passed the finish line. I hope I will be able to focus more on my site or other useful things from now on - since the fediverse is quite addictive in terms of checking whether someone has replied to your effortposts, or scrolling to find something to reply to (there is nothing). Maybe GNU Social or other implementations lack some of the flaws, but I won't be around to check anymore. Sayonara, Fediverse!
I think I've paid him enough honor by now. Goodbye, hero.
Did you really think I'll give up so easily on something I've worked on for so long? And especially become a normalfag after being so autistic about privacy and other stuff? Hopefully not, but if so...
2020 will be remembered as the year the ruling vermin tried their best to kill it for us. They will surely try to continue in 2021, so let's make it a resolution to not let them. Spread the word about the fake pandemic - which is what allowed them to do everything they needed. Avoid all big corpos that have censored people or spoke in favor of it (G, FB, Twitter, Moz, Wikipedia). Use Freenet, TOR, encrypt your files and communications. Try to move your activities to the physical sphere as much as possible, which are more meaningful and harder for the fearmongers to takeover than the Internet. Don't wear a mask if you can avoid it, don't take the vaccine, don't watch corona "news", give your grandparents Vitamin D if you're worried (this will help them more than muh masks). Remember that we heavily outnumber the fearmongers. By working together, we can end this circus.
Fun times. Didn't think people would fall for it at all. You motherfucker
hahahaha.
Happy new private year and decade! Looking for a new year's resolution? Try standing up against the Tech Giants - who are trying to censor, control and destroy the Internet and the world. Avoid Google, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Cloudflare, Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla. Go even further and support the creation of a new Internet and a new world with tools such as Freenet. Also inspect these articles to know who's our real enemy and what do we have to eventually do.
News Too much work that drains my creative energy. Actually, I recommend a news detox for everyone even if you're reading alternative news sites. News = a concentrated dose of toxicity in your brain every morning.
