@clerian Because I look at the bigger picture, not from the position of an individual like myself.

I see a common pattern here, first they start out with something quite open to get enough users. Many in the FS community said, I would never use Google Chrome but Chromium or other Chrome based browsers are fine because it is Free Software, etc.

Than once they have enough market share they start to closing stuff down, change their services to work only or better with their browser engine, etc

I am a very dirty girl but this will inject the @fediblock_archive blocklist directly into your #glitchSoc database. not guaranteed to work in future versions of either software (or at all), but might be useful in dealing with the current wave of bad actors. won’t work on vanilla masto unless it uses the exact same database format (no idea if they do).

- whole of frennet.link is a cesspool of this, including admin

Ah, progress.

Life is too short for a high-effort Linux distro.

@monorail because of arch I could probably do Linux from Scratch

whether this is a compliment to arch is up to you

Maybe the best place to post photos on the Fediverse is PixelFed.

✅ PixelFed is the Fediverse's alternative to Instagram, with a similar interface and features. You can find out more at https://www.pixelfed.org and there's a list of instances to join at https://beta.joinpixelfed.org

It doesn't matter which instance you join, people on other PixelFed or Mastodon instances can follow you because Fediverse instances talk to each other.

Who tf even needs disinformation with this kind of thing going on.

A Floridian covid data scientist, fired for refusing to manipulate the data to make the governor look good, who then set up an independent covid tracking dashboard, had her house raided and computers stolen at gunpoint by state police.
