@pernia@Owl@Owl it would be very difficult to draw together a coherent narrative, but the broad outline of it is that jp/pawoo holding company exists for the purpose of laundering CSAM/blackmailing wealthy individuals by providing a front by which to purchase and commission it using cryptocurrency or NFTs, they're aware of the efforts around tbs and decide to tacitly support them in order to split the fediverse/take pressure off their backs, and that eunomia after the initial exposure decided to change tune and effect pressure from within corporations instead of so explicitly branding as a spook-affiliated project. all of these developments are happening more or less simultaneously and they paint a rather bleak picture for those of us who just want to use fedi to post anime girls or whatever.
@pernia@allison@Owl@Owl If Eunomia is actually doing a real thing at this point, then I would be surprised. It doesn't surprise me that someone (I gather from the first couple of lines of that neocities page that it is the "Nivenly Foundation", which ) is doing this weaponized censorship. Since Twitter wasn't exactly flooding fedi (it was a flood from our end but not from theirs), that big bundle of "All of these terrible things on fedi need to be fixed!" press that happened was probably a push by this Nivenly Foundation or equivalent.
Twenty-six entire kilobytes of CSS, half of which undoes the other half. What a world we live in. I shouldn't be surprised that it has a terrible S:N ratio, rambling about "GoToSocial and Firefix and Akkoma are called Mastodon servers" and whatnot. I'll read this on the toilet, time otherwise spent unproductively.
> better hurry.....
I still gotta eat no matter what else I'm doing with my time.
@pernia@Owl@Owl no, eunomia is using corpos to fight a proxy war in order to control fedi and destroy its viability as a dissident platform. to that end, they've enlisted thebad.space and whatever that techbro org is which is sponsoring them. https://twokitties.neocities.org/ explains a lot of it
@pernia@Owl@Owl@allison 1,782 words recounting fediblock drama before they get to Nivenly, and it turns out it's just the Hachyderm guy, a guy that can safely be ignored.
> After spending some time as a user of Oliphant.social, a moderator who recently joined the Oliphant.social moderation team, WelshPixie, who is also the administrator of mastodon.art, asked Nina Illingworth to remove the words "Pig Empire" from her posts, arguing it was an antisemitic dog whistle. > Nina Illingworth argued that she has used the catchphrase for years to refer to the United States and its allies, as evidenced by her archive of blog posts on topics such as anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, anti-fascism, anarchism, and so forth.
I am not sure this page serves as a good explanation for anything and I don't know why I have been tagged in this thread.
