if i selfhost it will be something mini
al like honk :P

qoto has many patches now, text limit is >50k etc. and some other quality of life features like pinning remote servers timelines which is pretty nice. pleroma also doesn't seem to be awfully easy to host in a stable way, i have seen some people who had database fuckups etc.

i just think it's really bullshit to call software "nazi", it's a tool. tools don't have political opinions.

@Elfie

@Elfie hab ich auf jedenfall schonmal irgendwo gelesen die behauptung :)

@Elfie i mean, i'm happy here on qoto. was more a take on a post i saw today where someone spew some guilt by association bullshit regarding pleroma, based on that pleroma devs don't add their favorite censorship tools against "harassment".
some people should question if basing their whole (online) existance on parading sexual orientation and problems may lead to attracting trolls. as they always like to note, free speech also means that you have to deal with the response. you don't deal with the response by demanding of others to censor away people who disagree or troll you. you deal with the shit yourself.

i should use a pleroma instance. if only just for the guilt by association with evil free speech nazis xD

@arh@smallcamp.art

just some personal observation from germany regarding this part:

> When they take the power, then the real propaganda begins. Short-term policies will give people the feeling that the situation is getting better when in long-term it just gets worse. Everything will be blamed on past mistakes, tyrannical laws will be justified by saying it’s the majority who voted for this, and every opposing voice will be shut. It’s easy to guess as it happened in history many times.
>
> What conservatives advocate for is a mass social divide, same as fascists. In those societies there are two group of people: 1. People who seek liberty and are opposed to the system and 2. People who are directed to believe the system is (as it’s become a religion) taking back the pride for people and make them noble.

this is exactly what the so-called democratic parties did here for covid management. split society into the "good vaccinated" and the "evil not vaccinated" who chose so for a plethora of reasons but were blamed for every single bad thing happening.

who wasn't vaccinated couldn't do anything for nearly a year. except shopping food. even if they followed the other measures by the book. they couldn't go to the hardware store. either online shop (old people may not be able to) or get a handyman (excludes people without much money).

opposing voices on big social media were banned, those with e.g. their own website were discredited as tinfoil-hats etc.

the big parties not involved in this were AfD (right wingers, often callen nazis though not banned), most members of the left party and most members of the liberal party.

the worst dividers were the ultra-progressive greens, followed by social-democrats and christ-democrats.

this is to a degree the same for other progressive topics, like battery-electric cars. if you don't agree with their solution, you are instant pariah, just because you disagree with the solution.

does this make the big progressive parties - greens and social democrats - fascists? they sure fit the description by now.

@Jackuu hey, usually more honest than the wokeies! :)

@w is this based on sex or gender? ;)

i really like how sane people on the nonwoke side of fedi are.

turns out my crucial mistake back when i first tried fedi (sometime '15 iirc) was that i chose a lame instance :)
