@lain Hi, my name is Carlo Mid and this is the manuscript for my upcoming book, "The Liberal Manifesto". I'm also working on a more in-depth work called "Everything but Das Kapital".
@lain I'm getting black-pilled by this retrospective. I've now done January-May and the best stuff so far was barely above mid. Otoh, if it keeps going like this, it'll cure me of movie FOMO pretty good.
Mid Max. Dunno, not my thing. Even with Fury Road I was more fascinated by the people who went hard for that movie than by the movie itself. Who falls in love with that scenario? Black-pilled theater kids? Anyway.
I mean, seriously, it looks like the normie-mastodon part of the network that came from Twitter is here to stay, so the big fediblock iron-curtain is here to stay, too.
So is the blackhat and pedo part of the network, because today's blackhats and pedos simply don't give much of a shit anymore if their stuff gets reported or shut down, they just take their shopping cart somewhere else and take their dumps in that backyard until they get thrown out again. It's not like being on the clearnet is like living in the nice part of town, where you don't have to worry about certain things. Not anymore.
For a multi-user instance, you now have to do the exact same janitorial busywork on clearnet that you'd assume would make life hell on an onion instance: Always have to keep an eye on your own users, lest some of them go on a rampage and get your instance fediblocked and rendered useless for the rest of the users, and constantly maintain block- and filter-lists for the federation, lest some pedos on a coke-bender flood your network timeline with CSAM or the most obscene imaginable drawn images.
Might as well keep doing that and go dot onion to at least remove the target off your back for tattletale activists who think the way to make the world a better place is to report and/or denounce everyone they don't like.
@lain@piggo Now the lucky first customers can pass these down to their heirs and some day in the distant future, one of them will be able to clone themselves a copy of the Orka founders as their personal slaves, p. good deal
@graf@shedinja Wait, does this mean ... is someone at fucking N A T O literally using your nitter instance to display their own Twitter account on some stupid public display screen because the junk they bought needs an RSS feed!?
@pomstan@coolboymew@kaia Those things are literally open miniature speakers designed to be strapped to your head and need a special amplifier to drive. They are torture devices for mastering engineers, if you ever see a pair of those inside somebody's home, you know you're dealing with a nutter.
