The algorithmic is political. ('is' as in A⊆P)

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

@charlyblack @InspectorCaracal @Gargron Avoid anything which centralizes attention within the network. Trending hashtags, global rankings or scores, things like that. They will all reproduce the bad aspects of Birdsite. People should find stuff through community engagement and algorithms aren't a good substitute.

@gargron
It is the entire concept of site-sanctiomed popularity we should reject. Algorithmic popularity is what makes interaction on FB and tw the mess it is.
We should never forget that FB originated from a site meant for guys to grade coed hotness. That is still the underlying mindset. And it's shit.

@Gargron I fear this has the effect of amplifying 'popularity', and replicate the shitty birdsite social dynamics related to that... (each user should have the possibility to custom hide counts of following/followers to the whole fediverse imo, not a popular feature perhaps but a long-sighted one) @InspectorCaracal

La direttiva EU sul copyright è un'idiozia assoluta. Ma riesco a spiegare perché con perfetto aplomb, perché le bestemmie sono fuori onda.
