You'll not like my tarball when I dump it on the unsuspecting public.

"You use the same domain as someone that did something that is incompatible with our rules. Your entire server will be nuked."

I get the feeling you do not hang out around these parts very often and perceive them as "right-wing" because you are calibrated for places that ban anyone remotely right-wing. There are very right-wing people here but there are also communists and socialists and completely apolitical people. I think politics are boring and the left-right split is fictitious, manufactured for the sake of authoritarianism: is that a right-wing or left-wing alignment?
> AFAIK trolls are always conservative, even though most conservatives are not trolls.
Have you been a parody account this entire time? Or are you using a different definition of troll than I am?
> imo you feel stuck because to just get rid of trolls would appear to be acting like an asshole lefty and unfairly picking on conservatives.
See the other posts: I do not wish to get rid of "trolls" or assholes, a process which I described as "gelding" (twice). I'm not stuck in any sense of the word. I am annoyed that there are people I cannot talk to but that issue is with their behavior, not my situation. I'm pretty happy here and I do not wish to change the place to accommodate people that would be happier elsewhere.
Looks like they were down for at least two days September 2022. (There is some lag detecting state changes so as to avoid false-positives; it has to fail a few attempts before an instance is marked "down" and this usually takes a few hours.)
@hj@SilSinn9801 :pressf: This happened once before and it was only down a few days. I don't think the people that hate Pawoo are gonna leave Pawoo alone, though.
SilSinn is very cool, hopefully he can find somewhere. (I'd be pleased to have him on FSE but I don't know if he'd be as pleased to be on this server. Maybe he could tolerate it long enough to bootstrap.)
> you said the defederating is retarded. if you're fine with the state of the fedi, great. I am not.
Go talk to the people doing the fracturing; I am not changing anything with the hope that people that wish to stop FSE from existing will start being nice to me. taking_out_fse.png
