I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact the federated universe or as I've recently taken to calling it, the Fediverse. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functional federated network made useful many other instances, such as Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma and Peertube compromising a full federated social network as defined by the ActivityPub protocol.

Many computer users run a modified version of a Fediverse instance every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the type of Fediverse instance which is widely used today is often called "Mastodon", and many its users are not aware that it is basically part the Fediverse, developed by many other projects.

There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Mastodon is only a single type of Fediverse instance: a program in the network that operates as a single node that interoperates with all the other types of nodes that you interact with. Mastodon is an essential part of the Fediverse, but useless by itself; it can only be functional in the context of a fully federated universe. Mastodon is normally used in combination with many other instances: the whole system is basically the federated universe with Mastodon added, or the Fediverse. All the so-called "Mastodon" distributions are really distributions of platforms that interoperate with the ActivityPub protocol.

My anaconda don't work probably I installed the wrong dependencies again

I am extremely grateful to people that give me extra chances to be civil after I jump into a thread and shit all over everything before calming down.

People lie to minorities about Mastodon-compatible servers being heckin' based and epic for their privacy and resisting harassment. This might be spicy for some people, but unless you're on a private instance with a disabled API for unauthenticated users and make serious concessions like instance whitelisting, Twitter is probably better for your privacy. That's how bad it is. Fuck, secure fetch being widespread isn't even that old.

Every instance of people who follows you logs your posts, private or not, potentially forever. It's an open secret that many people do not respect post deletes for performance reasons. So when the lies of slimy fucks falls apart when people start deflecting blame. I've seen people criticise even /screenshotting/ posts, calling it stalking. Bitch, every server is practically archiving all your posts in a database with zero encryption. Those remote instances could have security of Swiss cheese. It's too many points of failure to trust. The absolute hypocrisy and false advertising this place has gotten is fucking ridiculous.

Mastodon-compatible networks are not a private place. It is not decentralised. You have less control over your data than /fucking Twitter./ You are probably more safe on Twitter as well. You do not have control over your identity.

Fuck you to the people who built your communities, Patreons, companies on these false pretenses. Rot in hell.

Free ML project idea: train on famous singers, write parody songs, call it Weird A.I. Yankovic.

Ech #microsoft #wtf? You want my name exact as on my ID. But you don't want my name as it exists. Ł is not special character, it is a fucking letter.
