I compared the landing pages of Mastodon, Pleroma and Misskey because I was curious how each characterized itself.

joinmastodon.org: "Mastodon isn’t a single website like Twitter or Facebook, it's a network of thousands of servers operated by different organizations and individuals that provide a seamless social media experience."
→ Mastodon is a network

join.misskey.page: "Misskey is a decentralized microblogging platform born on Earth. Since it exists within the Fediverse (a universe where various social media platforms are organized), it is mutually linked with other social media platforms."
→ Misskey is part of a network

pleroma.social: "Free and open communication for everyone. Pleroma is social networking software compatible with other Fediverse software such as Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed and many others. "
→ Pleroma is part of a network

@CapitalB big companies have enough money and menpower for their own instance. the fediverse is about decentralization.

if they want to lease an instance that also is fine, but just joining the biggest instance for internet points is bullshit.

@skadi i have an electric stove, putting a kettle there is just more inefficient. energy is amazing expensive here in germany.

tfw when best place to get help with XMPP is in an XMPP MUC but what you need help with is your XMPP server because it won't start so you can't join the XMPP MUC to get help to fix your XMPP server

The recent Twitter drama restarted the "Fedi admins can read DMs!!!1111111" flamewar.

I think I'm now officially reliving the 1980s and 1990s. This question was discussed to death back on BBS sites. Everything old is new again.

every big company/project with much funding who just joins mastodon.social instead of running their own instance isn't interested in helping the fedi. it's just virtue signalling.

@oros

Disabling the federated and local timeline sure does not help users to discover other instances

Die Finanzierung der Stiftung für das sorbische Volk ist verfassungswidrig, schreibt Alexander Drescher: opus4.kobv.de/opus4-UBICO/fron Ein über das Thema hinausweisender Satz in dem Aufsatz lautet: "Angesprochen wird [...] eine Staatspraxis, [...] die zunehmend zentralstaatlichen und damit letztlich autoritären Paradigmen gehorcht." Diesen Satz sollte sich ins Stammbuch schreiben, wer an der #bundlaenderkompetenzordnung rüttelt. #sorben #foederalismus #grundgesetz #sachsen #brandenburg

@MRECheese and here i was thinking i'm alone with always keeping multiple packs of butter in reserve :)

@r000t @MaceDindu They would have learned at some point in the last 10 years if they could learn that lesson. All that kind of thing does is legitimize the fight. There are two types of people: those that want to rule over others, and those that don't want to be ruled by anyone. It's easier to redirect a river than dam it, you know? Pepsi and Coke aren't going to kill each other.

@oklomsy@social.linux.pizza if it's any solace, i cut myself in the finger today ;)

@MRECheese
> I remember when keyboard commandos had panache. Now it's all hurt feelings and screaming like a bad toddler.

yip. even a good old "fuck you" would be a more sincere way.

> "Hello everyone. Here is a list of all things that offend me. Take care not to do them or anything else. Now that's out of the way, let's begin our discussions of complex social issues. Good luck, and may God have mercy on your soul."

hey, if anyone would ask that nice i'd have no problem as long as it goes the other way too. if you have talking points like "jordan peterson is an enabler of fascism", you can't be surprised to have that opinion scrutinized.

> But I would take them up on that cookie.

only if the cookie is made with good old butter. which these people in all likeliness deem _deeply problematic_.

@MRECheese well, these "commands" these people give have a certain twitter (or reddit) feel. at least that were the only places where i observed these responses to pointing out fallacies.

one of these people a while ago said "here's a cookie". saying those things only makes you look like someone going through puberty, awkwardly trying to assert dominance on the internet. it's like the lame variant of russian kids flaming you in dota2. those are usually at least funny.

@Mek101 my money is on that it was (if it really happened) a spook operation. the arrests are for show. everything is a lie! :ablobfoxhyper:
