They are not mutilating their childrens' genitalia out of love though.
The are doing it for egotistical reasons combined with them being completely alienated from their own children.
If they cared 1/10th of what they say they do, they wouldn't have done this.
Framing it as some sort of selfless parenting is wrong in the first place.
It's an act of people living in an extremely degenerated and sick society willing to sacrifice their own kids because their masters told them to through the internet. That is if they are not somehow directly involved in why their child turned up like this, like the countless cases where trans kids are being molested inside their family. -

I don't really worry too much about this side of the fedi. If it comes to it you can count on US, your valiant users, to eventually say gamer words one times too many and have us defederated. But if this is true:
>In summary, there will be instances with the "plus Facebook" feature and those that do not belong to the illustrious circle. No #FediPact will be able to change that (btw. these are the same people that will silence and defederate from you if you don't play by "their" rules).
The gay side of the fedi can potentially be completely adsorbed back into corporate media. -

Twitter and Reddit are only valuable so long as they can control their users' opinions. Quality posters along with whole communities were banned for meddling with the websites being turned into efficient brainwashing machines.
After pushing very hard for the past few years they can no longer perform that function.
Still, they gotta monetize somehow.
Nobody would care if gabai did this, that's where twitter/reddit is at this point from a value point of view. -

>fork of Lemmy software
Any chance you can fix this? (Pete wrote this a couple of days ago)
>1. I'm looking into lemmy interaction. I can follow lemmy users, see their public posts, but they don't show up in my timeline. They only show up if I go to their profile. Why?
Short version: it looks like Lemmy's fucking up the follower address.
The longer version: AP uses a series of URLs to say who a post is for, and those go into the "to" and "cc" fields. When you tag someone, their actor URL is in the "to" field. There are two special URLs that don't refer to individual users: "public" and "follower". The public URL is a constant, it's https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public . If it's in "to", it's public, and if it's in "cc", it's unlisted, so you can see it in either case. The distinction between a public/unlisted post and a followers-only/DM post is that the public URL is omitted from those. The other special URL is the followers URL, which is user-specific. That URL is assigned by the server, and is supposed to be in your metadata. So if you do `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel | jq -r .followers`, that'll spit out `https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel/followers`. Your followers URL is included in all of your posts except DMs, so when you post, "https://freespeechextremist.com/users/laurel/followers" is in the "cc" field. Not only does Lemmy appear not to provide a followers URL, they also seem to do some wacky shit with the to/cc when delivering posts.
So, pick a Lemmy user at random (I just did `SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE (split_part("ap_id", '/', 3) = 'lemmy.ml')`) and look at the AP URL, it's https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme . Fetch the user and look for the followers address, `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme | jq .`. So there's no way to pick out the followers address. Then you look at a random post, `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://lemmy.ml/post/438428` and (although it's nice Lemmy pretty-prints the JSON) "cc" is empty and "to" just contains `["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"]`, so
Boards, however, *do* have followers URLs: `curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource | jq -r .followers` gives `https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource/followers`. But they fuck that up, too! You can see that the post from before lists `https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource` in the "to" field, not `https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource/followers`.
This should be easy to fix, they just have to add a followers URL to users and stick that on their posts, and then add the advertised followers URL to boards' posts. So instead of `"to": ["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://www.w3.org -

Pete was kind enough to provide details on what does/doesn't work with lemmy and why. Gonna repost it here for anyone interested.
I too can participate in a thread if the Op has been fetched. Biggest problem is people you follow not showing up on your timeline while their posts do federate. Sublemmy accounts don't federate though.

So instead of `"to": ["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], "cc":[]`, it could read (hopefully without breaking anything) `"to": ["https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource","https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource/followers","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], "cc": ["https://lemmy.ml/u/jokeyrhyme/followers"]` and it'd work correctly whether you are following the user or the board and hopefully not break Lemmy's existing code. -

>signed fetch
Ah, I had forgotten about this. You've posted extensively about it in the past.
I did find a tool called FediFetcher, are there any other alternatives or do I make my own fetcher? Any other resources you'd recommend for fetching?
I guess one could just scrape global timelines of big instances to make an active user list and then just fetch their posts directly.
>gotosocial is woke
Thanks for letting me know, this type of software ends up being garbage anyway. -

Hey @p how's it going?
I have some questions.
1) Say i setup a pleroma instance and subscribe to fse relay. Will that give me access to all posts that make to fse or only those that originate from fse. Also, is there a list with all the relays somewhere?
2) Is gotosocial any lighter/faster than pleroma?
3) You've probably seen it already but if you haven't check out https://github.com/plebbit . Reminded me of revolver with the difference being that it's community rather than user based and it lacks the very advanced features such as content addressed storage. -

Around that time, and maybe a bit earlier during the 1940s, was when managers in the big American industries were starting to realize that R&D was very important in the long term profitability of the company. DuPont was a pioneer in having a very well funded R&D department. Before that and especially before the 1920s the vast majority of companies either didn't have an R&D department or it was heavily underfunded, even the very big ones like Standard Oil. That's were all those academic graduates were supposed to be going.
And then production was outsourced to China to save some pennies on the dollar. The end. -

>Yeah, I'm already on the robot cigarette. Don't get the shakes as bad as I used to, but have not managed to get to zero.
Are you making your own liquid?
I noticed that as long as the reduction in nicotine was less than 8-10% of the previous nicotine content I couldn't even tell the difference.
And I had serious physical symptoms when I tried to quit, or reduce smoking without vaping.
After regulating the dosage at 10mg on the first day (1 packet of light cigarettes) I never got a single shake/symptom. Waning it down was a very easy process and you could fell the addiction going away (along with the pleasure), but there were no cravings or shakes to speak of.
Took me around 6 months to go from 10mg to 0mg but no willpower was needed whatsoever, not even when quitting it completely. -

> I will probably have to. Anyway, I plateau'd at 3mg/mL.
It's very easy, just buy a 50/50 base and 50/50 eliquid and you won't even have to mess with complex mixing. You can even increase it a bit and then wane it down slowly.
At 3mg/mL you should have considerably low cravings. It was the first time I forgot to smoke after waking up when I reached those levels. -

Don't sweat it.
It's because you reduced it in big steps. I've known someone who did it this way and he too had difficulty giving it up to the point where he completely quit.
First get comfortable in a specific dosage and then reduce 8% per week. You are not gonna feel a thing. Also, don't bother with flavors, they're just marketing. -
