Yeah that’s how I felt too. I remember being excited about g+, then I also remember aggressively turning off any association to g+ because no one was on it and it kept pushing it in my face. Come to think of it gmail was similar, invite only and that, but it wasn’t forced even at release and they made it look a lot nicer than what yahoo and hotmail had going on at the time.

gay people magic. beware

if they can’t then GTFO. (and I say can’t knowing full well it means “don’t feel like lifting a finger”)

pretty much like /u/ on reddit

@ always looked wierd to me tho, it’s more of a surname if that makes sense

Well we they could just be centralized in their own decentralized instance lol

lol wtf, does that just slightly photoshop faces? Cuz technically that would be true

or is it some next-gen facemaker

If they add user-level defed, I’d be pretty on board with defederation being used for stuff like bot farms.

As it stands, with the current lack of user-level defed-- defederating is a server/user-whitelist, server-blacklist function.

Ideally I think it should be a server/user-whitelist, user-blacklist function, where a server-blacklist is reserved for botfarms/illegal content.

y not a lil bit of commie, lil bit of demo, demo-commie

Dude where’s you find this! Finally I have an instance lol. Thousand thanks.

Bro, could you help me set one up ._. I tried docker, ansible, from scratch using rust, and I kept running into an error. I tried all three methods several times on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20.

Was there a guide outside of the official docs or am I just too inexperienced? Like with the from scratch setup, had all dependencies listed installed, but every time rust starts opening crates after a minute it just throws some error.

It’s like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we’re all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit… these instances all speak ActivityPub.

Neat!
