Does the Fediverse give you hope?

[email protected]

Yes. But I'm worried about Big Tech hijacking ActuvityPub and that they enforce the end of net neutrality. EU regulations and investments is our only hope right now.

Well it's only fair, since drag asked if you'd like power mods and transphobes to be removed from Lemmy, and you didn't answer.

[email protected]

You saying something stupid in order to get a witty retort has nothing to do with fairness, and I am no more obligated to answer your questions than you are obligated to stay on Lemmy.world just because you like the technology. Because, again, there are plenty of servers.

But you've loved trolling, especially the queer community here, since you were doing the Attack Helicopter thing, so why would you leave?

Hope ?
Maybe, maybe not

What's wrong with being the next Reddit

[email protected]

No thank you. I'm not going to waste my time to try and find your made up definition of censorship.

You know, drag realised something a while ago.

Any transphobic troll, who thinks drag is one of their own, would want to "expose" drag. They would want to erode the trans community's trust in trans people. They'd want the public to believe that neopronoun users are trolls. They'd think drag wants it too. They'd engage in kayfabe - a fake fight, a manufactured drama, to make the public distrust trans people.

So drag believes you're being quite honest when you say you think drag is a troll. And you want to "help" drag, you want to finish the "con". You don't want the community to accept people like drag and every other queer identity. You want to start a fight and convince the community to turn against ourselves.

This is a fake fight. You think you're on drag's side.

[email protected]

Nope, I know I'm not on the side of someone who trolls the queer community.

Also, the only thing I would like to help you with is how to find a different Fediverse server so you don't have to torture yourself be being around all of us horrible conservative bigots who are just so mean to you. Would you like help with that, Attack Helicopter?

[email protected]

Right, you're not a troll, you just act exactly like one. You sow suspicion and conflict in the queer community and refuse to let your child use their chosen pronouns because you're such a huge ally.

[email protected]

Not going to try to convince me to do a murder/suicide huh? You've given up on that particular troll angle and gone back to the classics I see, Attack Helicopter.

Hope in what sense? Hope that it's generally possible to connect online without corporate social media? Sure ...

Hope that it'll become a replacement social media at a large scale? Probably not ... I think the way push-federation is implemented makes it inconvenient and hard to grasp, and generally people seem to prefer centralized platforms for the sheer convenience of use, which is hard to beat.

So I guess it'll remain stable in it's own little niche ... which isn't bad I suppose ...

You only have the freedom to choose if you have the freedom to be fully informed. If the instance you are on has “unofficial” rules they enforce, and they remove any comments of anyone discussing those “unofficial” rules. Then it is not moderation — but censorship.

[email protected]

Yeah, I can totally see how that could be an issue. You're right, my bad. Just wondering if there is any way to truly beat censorship if this is the case?

The decentralisation of the fediverse works well.

Ie. taking my previous example of lemmy.ml censoring any criticism of Russian and Chinese imperialism, under instance rule 1 which is basically “no bigotry”.

Well I’m not on lemmy.ml, and if I talk about it in non-lemmy.ml communities, lemmy.ml admins probably won’t bother banning me — that would be too much effort, so if a lemmy.ml user ventures to communities on other instances, they can learn about this censorship.

[email protected]

In my opinion reddit was bad because of the closing of the source, and centralization and administration by a single corporation interested in profits, which results in the cesspool we know reddit as today. it was bad because of the format that lemmy inhabits, so I agree with you on this point.

[email protected]

Yeah I didn't think so. God forbid you actually learn something. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

[email protected]

IMHO there's still hope in p2p mesh networking. It can't support high-bandwidth applications, but all the absolutely critical correspondence would work.

[email protected]

That's much more expensive than I would imagine! Hope you are fully funded. You're the best instance.

i like it here and have no desire to switch over to big tech or any algorithm.

The fedi could destroy the whole Gafam ecosystem overnight if people would just move to it. But most people are selfish idiots.
