@Entel_igencaman34 Threaten with cuddles?
@FailForward The more respect I have that there is even such a thing as an United Nations if you realize that many country's leaders are not too far off those childish admins here...
I got interested in this #UFOI stuff lately and it makes my brain hurt and heart sink. What a drama on all sides.
I think it's a great example of #MastoAdmin silly games and feuds at the expense of users of these instances. An admin A does not like admin B and that is the reason for blocking thousands of users of B's instance from thousands of users of A. And that we call "moderation", right? Nice! (mind you, if B's users are ugly people in A's userbase opinion _en masse_, that's another story)
I even read from somebody that all what is wrong with an instance is that its users tend to be mildly annoying and that's a good reason to defederate the instance (https://witches.live/@anna/109480217595539880). Lovely. And that's how we want to become a better alternative to corporate social networks? Good luck boys and girls in the #MastoAdmin world! This way you only lose trust of us, the normal users of this network.

@yvanspijk Pixelfed is the Fediverse's answer to Instagram. So you could join a Pixelfed instance or host your own, and see if it suits your needs.
The advantage is that everybody in the Fediverse should be able to follow your Pixelfed account. Even people on Mastodon, which is quite convenient.
@yvanspijk Just wondering, why Instagram and not Pixelfed?
@mastotips For some reason I don't think this image is correct.
The real Fediverse is really very fragmented with some instances very happily blocking other instances for the silliest reasons.
The image that I provide here might be a bit more spot on, though I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually worse than this in reality.
@satan
'forces'? You can leave anytime with no strings attached, not sure what's so forced about it?
Also I think most people look at this from the wrong perspective. It's more a guarantee that UFoI members aren't blocking each other, guaranteeing that there's at least a piece of the Fediverse communicating with each other. If you don't wish to partake in this, just don't join.
I think this is a more positive approach than shouting 'FEDIBLOCK! FEDIBLOCK!'
@fxgibbons
You can't go wrong with THAT one. :D
@sergeant It's nice. That's why I'm so bummed I finished watching all that!
@ak474000
Can confirm. Dead easy.
I'm kinda annoyed that I already finished watching Lower Decks. I was getting entertained there, and now it's over. :P

@derickflorian Our receptionist was out of the running for almost 2 weeks when she got infected 2 years ago. She got infected again about a week ago and was back within like 3 days. Vaccinations are a thing. :)
I guess it might be less terrible for you as well in this 2nd round. It still sucks of course, and the long term effects of an infection are still unknown as of yet.
@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Sounds like it's worth it! 😂
@bonifartius Take care, your mental health is important. Go do some fun stuff!
@EubieDrew 'campaign', wtf? Sounds more like they're holding a campaign to slander Qoto instead. 👀
And that's why @freemo is so eager to get UFoI going. The Fediverse sounds like a very superstituous bunch at the moment. Lots of acting based off hearsay.
@derickflorian Uh oh, get well soon!
I saw a post on Reddit about how to cancel an Adobe subscription without the asshole "early cancellation fee" and figured it's worth sharing:
1. Login to your adobe account
2. Go to plans and payments
3. Find your current plan and select "Manage Plan"
4. The third box on the right should say "Cancel Plan"
5. It will ask you why, tell them "Go fuck yourself" and press continue
6. It will offer you to change plans, select "Photography plan (20GB)" - $9.99
7. Confirm the change
8. Now go back to your Plans and it may say "You'll be able to manage this plan shortly" and that's because there is a waiting period after starting a plan, probably to ensure you forget to cancel or something. Took about an hour for it to go away, so if it's there just walk away and refresh the page every 15 minutes or so.
9. Once you are able to manage your plan, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. This time actually cancel the plan. There will be no early cancellation fee AND you'll be refunded the $9.99.
Fuck adobe.
@stux The lack of a normal word wrap is awful though!
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
