If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL

I'm afraid a federated micro-blogging website using ActivityPub doesn't/can't exist ;_;

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

/s?

There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.

It's old internet sarcasm, I seent it many times in my life. Yeah, pretty sure it was harmless satire :) the emoticon at the end is a dead giveaway maybe—that there looks like a millennial or zillenial calling card

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah that's new 2014+ Reddit technology, back in the early days of the internet sarcasm was a lot harder to detect and you were expected to figure it out with context haha

lots of us don't know people expect /s and still try to be sarcastic without /s

instead we used clues like emojis to denote it's not serious like "lol" or "haha" when it's sarcastic and funny or ;-; or T-T when it's sarcasm and expressing frustration

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I ever type "/s"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Same, but I feel like a steward of the web, I've been using it for so long lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fun fact, we didn't use to need that. Which is why millennials typically don't use /s outside Reddit. 90's and early 2000s forum culture required everyone to use common sense, a concept now entirely ethereal to zoomers. Back in my day...

Damn...I've been discovered

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don't know why people don't mention Pleroma/Akkoma ?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I've heard people complain a lot about its resource usage on the server side, that the advantages of it running on elixir are moot unless the instance has over 1k people. The web UI leaves a lot to be desired, true, but at least it's not such a client-side resource hog/browser crasher as misskey/sharkey

"Why doesn't anyone ever mention Grungus/Flible?"

How do people keep up with all this shit?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

We have a list

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

How would decentralized alternatives be immune to this?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Thought this way yes.

I misread and saw that it was some kind of DMCA, and an instance owner would probably not want to play around with that. Not respecting local laws on specific things is not likely to have serious repercussions

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's pretty trivial for them to block all major instances though, or even all instances federated with all major instances

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That would just be an endless game of whack-a-mole given just how many instances there are, and how easy it is to just set up another instance immediately.
