But when it comes to federation, I'm confused how much of the #ForkOff crowd is just tired of delusional FOSS fanboy dreams of defeating Twitter, and how many people have contempt for the notion of federation at all, because I don't think Garg refusing to budge on federation is at all unreasonable. If you're in the latter camp, you'd be better served with a personalized, centralized social network. Maybe there can be a fork for that.

I agree with most of what I've seen re: #ForkOff. Garg really needs to accept that this hasn't been his personal project for a while now and he has to hand over some aspects of power if he's serious about Mastodon continuing to grow as an anti-abuse-focused part of the Fediverse.

Yeezus was this latest iteration of Kanye at his peak. It just worked. People loved TLOP, but it really felt to me like he was coming apart and ye makes perfect sense as a follow up. Many have pointed out how much his pen has rusted, but what really stands out to me is how little curation he appears to do now. That skill is what made MBDTF was so well paced, and without it we're left with 23 minutes of, I dunno, aimless passion?

The Drake/Pusha beef is getting so good. I wish Meek went hard like this.

@pixelfed Why MIT and not AGPL3?

The most tragic aspect of the Grimes/Musk saga is that there isn't a corresponding HipsterRunoff article.

@lain Is there a roadmap somewhere for a Pleroma 1.0 release?

I'm so proud of the British youth and so excited for my generation.

Fuck off, Thom.

I see that #Pawoo has a public timeline on its about page. Has that been merged into the main Masto repo?

On NPR, a black cosplayer said they thanked a white person cosplaying a black character for not doing blackface. That sure is depressing, like "Thank you for not doing an obviously shitty thing."

I'll probably make more accounts at some point for this reason. Sometimes I want to wander into the void that is everything wrong with the internet. Sometimes I want an unabashed safe space. Is that really so strange?

If for some reason only one of those two extremes could exist, I'd definitely pick the former, because I value safe spaces more than the loose definition of free speech that is often used to uphold oppression, but I really don't think that choice is necessary.

When setting up an instance, please be as clear as possible about what kind of community you want to cultivate. Do you want to make it as safe as possible for your users and drastically limit federation if necessary? Are you fine with literally anything that isn't illegal? Somewhere in between? All of these communities can coexist and not get in each other's way if the boundaries are clearly set.

I think I'm just not in the mood for new Kendrick.

According to @mastodonusercount, the number of accounts has been skyrocketing over the past day or two. What happened? New article or something like that?
