The whole fucking lot of them are rank hypocrites. Why not stay at home and do it by zoom, all that flying and driving and telling the peasants what not to do, fuck off.

Nicola Sturgeon accused of hypocrisy on climate change as she jets to Cop 27

Labour accused the SNP of double standards after it last week cut £133 million of funding for energy efficiency schemes in a budget review

Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of “rank hypocrisy” for jetting out to the Cop 27 climate change conference in Egypt only days after her government slashed its energy efficiency budget by tens of millions of pounds….

@dushman
the qoto mastodon is heavily patched, but i can do user level domain blocks just fine.
@Chronotope @dimi

@Chronotope @dushman @bonifartius I don't mind letting admin decide who or what to block. I am against them blindly outsourcing this task to strangers. The block list in question seems to at best be irresponsible, at worst toxic. So I'm glad I have a good admin who isn't using it—but I am disappointed that users of other, less discerning instances, will now be deprived unnecessarily of possibly meaningful connections because of the capricious whims of randoms.

@Chronotope the point isn't that blocking as a tool is bad but weaponized blocklists are evil. servers end up on blocklists for fabricated reasons and then it gets cargo culted from there on. ffs, you can end up on these lists because you don't use the list.

it's just evil shit tbh. hell, almost every free speech instance blocked on these lists have rules against doxing while the wokies pushing these list _love_ to dox their enemies.

it's very clear to me who are the good guys, and it's not the list creators.

>i want to join Mastodon

>no no I want to join Mastodon
yeah there's more than one instance running mastodon
>instance??
yeah it's basically just a server
>so complicated, i'm not looking to apply for an IT department you know!

@daeyoung @dimi idk, we brought this upon ourselves. people adopted google shit after google shit until it was too late.

i use FF now, but it really isn't the browser which is good. it's stuff like tree style tab - which worked much better under the old ui. it's a shame that vivaldi is closed source, the usability features are pretty nice.

i think my biggest disappointment is that the old opera engine never was open sourced. that would have been pretty great. the same for the edge engine they now switched out for blink. imagine how the landscape would be if there were four feature rich open sourced/free software engine families now instead of two.

it really is a sad story.

@daeyoung @dimi mozilla doesn't care anyway 🤷‍♀️ they are too occupied copying the chrome UI ;)

@taylan I've got nothing against people coming here from Twitter. The problem is who they are and why they're here. They're journalists. The people who are responsible for many of us being here in the first place.

Early you gave Taylor Lorenz a warm welcome and an explanation of the Fediverse. But she's also the person who doxed LibsOfTikTok. If you don't know, LibsOfTikTok simply showed the worst excesses of liberalism on TikTok including gender cult bullshit. They exposed teachers talking about all manner of perverse crap and got them rightfully fired.

I don't know how this sits with you being on team radfem and also being against doxers like KiwiFarms.

@dimi imho firefox is a dumpster fire ever since they did the new UI in 2018 (iirc). they should have concentrated on the engine and improving it with the rust stuff they had going, they chose destroying a totally functional UI, virtue signalling and buying bullshit stuff like pocket.

@taylan german radio is ultra woke crew, what do you expect.

these people aren't our friends and they don't want to be.

they accommodate every fetish they can find, they use gender gap while speaking, but correctly naming tech stuff is too much for them.

Happy to se many new faces here!
Did you know, that Mastodon is just one of many different "servers" that you can join to access the network?

There is actually an alternative to Instagram, called Pixelfed. You can follow users from your Mastodon account, like this:
@selea@pixelfed.se

There is also an the possibility to host your videos on "Peertube", that you also can follow from your account here:
@selea@video.selea.se

@dimi @bonifartius @Chronotope @nova
People who let randos decide that are probably not worth interacting with anyway

@matrix don't use shit which can't be compiled and ran with a sane amount of work.
