Imagine my surprise when “What could Hamas do to end the violence” wasn’t just an innocent question…

Australian/British slang. It’s a disparaging term for Americans

Starts with rhyming slang

American = Yank Yank = Tank Tank = Septic Tank Septic Tank = Seppo

As I said, yes, a lemmy that bans folk like you is a lemmy that is doing something right

“What could Hamas do to end the violence?”

Nothing else.

And I got immediately banned.

Making excuses for genocide being something that gets you banned is a lemmy I’m fine with

Seppo is a really unfortunate name…

Brendan Eich. He donated money anti marriage equality organisations and politicians, and half of the Mozilla board resigned when he was appointed as Mozilla CEO. He stepped down from that role after 11 days, and went on to found Brave.

He’s also an anti-masker/pandemic conspiracy theorist

Sorry, homophobia!

I don’t use Google either

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I’m sure they’re great

I have many issues with hexbear, but transphobia is not one of them. They are explicitly and aggressively trans inclusive

carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

It suits my needs perfectly though! You can take my folding phone out of my cold dead hands

In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven’t included both your spoken languages and “Undetermined” in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you’re missing

Yep, it was one of his posts referring to implementing his existing approach to AP that I was thinking off!

If I was making my living off of my name, I wouldn’t even know some random user with no followers from a troll domain exists.

Whatever the reason celebs don’t take to the fediverse, this isn’t it…

That’s why she hosts her own domain, instead of sending half a million followers to some random fediverse instance.

Why would someone host a server and pay for it out of their own pocket, when the protocol just turns in to an invisible piece of infrastructure that people don’t even know exists?

AP instances allow for communities and identity to build around them, so there is a non monetary incentive to running them, but what’s the incentive to run an equivalent on bluesky and make it public?

The proposal I saw was basically a way of “signing” your posts, and then when they federate somewhere else, you can create an account on another instance and “claim” the posts that have federated there as yours, with your private key.

Obviously, you couldn’t access posts that never federated to the instance in the first place, but even with some lost content, it would let you edit, and post new content.

And as I understood this proposal, basically, you could have multiple active accounts, all of which are “you”, and allow you to control your content with the same permissions.

There are multiple governments, political parties and hate groups explicitly focused on taking away my rights and ensuring I can’t exist safely and openly.

It’s got nothing to do with personality. I’m exposed to a barrage of hateful media targeting folk like me every single day, and it’s next to impossible to escape.

So finding spaces where I can just not have to deal with that shit is important

White listing encourages centralisation because it makes it really hard for new communities/instances to develop the trust they need to be included in existing white list circles.

Assuming that “bigots” is not a synonym for “anyone I disagree with”, then fair enough.

Why would it be?

My underlying point is that technology is making it very easy to wall ourselves off into comfortable echo chambers

Your experience is different to mine. I wish I could wall myself off from people who want to remove my rights and target me with hate, but I’ve yet to find a way of doing that.
