tbh parler is basically "gab but run by people who aren't fucking psychos"

If Gab wasn't so incompetent they could be getting millions of new users now. Instead... lol

Jack Dorsey always comes off really reasonable in these hearings, to the point I wonder how active he actually is in Twitter's development or if he's 90% just a figurehead that provides a vague direction, and his Diversity Hire staff implements it badly.

@mathlover Whoever made the claim should provide the proof, show in the repo. You don't get to make baseless speculative claims on FOSS software.

There were some clients, like tusky, that blocked gab on the client side, and people went on a holy crusade against everyone that didn't do that, but that's pretty much it, when it comes to hard coded blocks.

PlayStation 5: you pay $500 to buy a computer you can’t control, that is only able to play $70 games sold by the manufacturer. This sounds like a great deal for Sony and an awful one for you. They should pay you to own a PS5.

Does Mastodon have a default server block list when installed from source?
Someone made this claim in a discussion, yet looking through the official repository and the install directions yields nothing in the way of a default block list. Furthermore, search results seem if anything to imply the opposite when it comes to the official repo.

In 2016, @HillaryClinton@twitter.com lost. In 2020, @realDonaldTrump@twitter.com lost. Both blame grand illegal conspiracies instead of themselves, supported by propagandists & diehards. And it's proper to do the investigations etc. But please consider how silly this all looks to the rest of us. Thanks.

computer ownership discourse 

@bonzoesc
We forced computers upon people who didn't actually want them, and then some people get upset when those people refuse to learn more than the bare minimum to do very specific things.

The next time someone says that we can't predict the climate because we can't predict the weather, ask them if they know that it's warmer in the summer and colder in the winter.
