@Gargron

you set it up to a nonprofit

you didn't have to do that

but you did

because you have sterling integrity

eugen i applaud you

thank you

👏 👏 👏

There's no agenda in posting this video

Just a capture of a moment of simple human joy in efficient #publictransportation

Ok, ok... just a small agenda

Year: unknown, location: #Japan

@selea @mihor @osz @amayer

understood

sorry for wasting your server's resources

i thought i would just have some fun laughing at a vatnik

but this guy i think is not well

cheers

@selea @mihor @osz @amayer

hey selea:

i see you're on the same server as this sad sack

contact your admin and get this account suspended

it's absolutely disgusting

if you want i can report some of its comments for misinfo to forward to your admin

plenty of comments here showing that

a really broken individual

@wonderofscience

so it's like camping

but in a tin can and without gravity

You don't need to be a futurism savant to notice the connection and extrapolate a certain kind of future from these 2 sentences:

'Thursday afternoon in #SanFrancisco: On one side of Mission Street, hotel workers chanted and banged on a drum outside the Marriott Marquis, part of a monthslong strike for higher wages and more #jobs. On the other, a tech company’s billboard proclaimed, “Stop #hiring humans.”'

i have an important announcement:

fuck #tiktok

that is all

@iwein @Nux @Gargron

blocking a domain is just like blocking a user: you can't see them, they can't see you

except it's for everyone on a domain

and for anyone who does not know, you don't get this in your preferences tab, you go to your profile and:

@staringatclouds @deborahh @Gargron

interesting

i assumed a domain block meant the domain could not see your posts either

you're saying it works like a mute. i did not know that, thank you

@Gargron @mosseri

eugen it's good news, but only in the scope of championing #activitypub

i don't think when you made #mastodon 8 yrs ago you thought "yes! i get to work with #facebook someday!"

i'm happy you're happy but i step back and see #threads #interop as sad

what you and your team built is amazing and i appreciate all you've done

because it is #decentralized

it's not #centralized #socialmedia hell that is eating our psychology, our societies, our politics

it should stay that way

What.

The.

Fuck.

@Gargron @nelsonakis @ayoub

thanks for addressing the issue Eugen

i understand the reasoning for opaque mod decisions

but when there is a large outcry it's prudent to identify the exact violation publicly

at the very least so others may avoid the snag on contentious topics

i recall a similar situation earlier this year where you spoke to the specifics of why a popular account was hidden

maybe new policy exists since then

so i ask mastodon.social mods:

allow Eugen to relay the specifics

@Alice

what you do is you take one chopstick and you stab the dim sum while you make a disturbing guttural noise

then lock eyes with whomever is staring at your behavior

bring it slowly to your mouth, and smile menacingly as the dim sum slides off your chopstick into your lap anyways

"She said she had a #miscarriage — then got arrested under an #abortion law"

'...five men eyed Frazier from the driveway

...hands on their holsters as if bracing to shoot.

Frazier told the female sheriff’s deputy that her boyfriend wasn’t home

...the 26-year-old had a terrifying realization.

The officers were there for her.

Earlier that month, Frazier had shared a #Facebook post about the son she lost.'

A well written villain in a movie or book lets the reader or viewer understand their motivations,

even sympathize with them.

Or feel rage at them.

Or... uh...

@aral

why don't people understand that working with likes of #meta #facebook #threads is only you lose, they win, in every scenario

why don't people understand that?

is it a concern for money?

is it a concern for clout?

what?

you can never make a deal with the devil where you come out on top

never
