Mastodon - "Decentralized" Twitter Knockoff & Rat King Breeding Ground

The best bit is that he didn't check the original source of the script before he started using it and posting screenshots all over his hugbox, which have since been deleted.

well those evil trolls on their farm do make good stuff.

How can you not see where the script is from? It is right there! Well, to be fair he would not be a journalist if he did propper research.

And I am sure that he will be still using it. A true "Sorry I got caught" moment

Journos really are the scum of the earth.

They should be gassed. What worthless worms.

I can't believe these vermin are even allowed to exist when they try to escape Twitter and ruin the places people went to escape from them.

They need to be put against a wall.

Unfortunately there are no archives of the actual posts where he proudly showed off his handiwork, but I at least managed to archive his mea culpa.

This dude is hilarious. I actually thought he had to be a troll himself because otherwise why would he be a Judas goat and guide journoscum into the gas chamber? I assumed that had to be malicious because who other than a clandestine Nazi would do such a thing?

Thanks for treating us to such gas chamber victims though! Thanks whoever the fuck you are, you weirdo.

Now imagine if they work out that not only is the code from KF, but the host (Ryona Agency) is named after a hentai genre about beating women black and blue.

I would've started a thread if there wasn't one on this. Elliot the troon Fong is verboten on there. There's so much incoming users that they're banning real fast for any wrong talk. They're following IP's too and will get let you sign in but you're done in seconds.

 

[George Floyd]

What difference does it make where a script is from? Do journos have to flagellate themselves publicly every time they use a program from party-unapproved sources?

 

[TitusOvid]

Who needs an even more pozzed twitter?

 

[I.B. Niggin]

I thought everyone was talking about March of the Fire Ants Mastodon, not this shit.

The owner of the Fediverse hugbox for journos has been scraping other hosts to find out which other instances have been blocking or suspending his own.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, found this list on the Resetera mastodon refugee thread just incase you wanna look up if your favorite journo has been turned into a furry yet.

>chud****.lol
What's the deal with using asterisks instead of just typing out the links? What, they are scared Daddy Gym's gonna pop out of the monitor, "The Ring"-style, and bully their candy asses? They really should grow a pair and stop thinking they live in Hogwarts and not using * for letters is gonna summon Voldemort.
Pussy-ass bitches.
EDIT: Might as well post this:

Now that mastadon has been turned to be the designated woke social media hub were journo scum congregate will it be as big or important as twitter?

No, but the vermin infestation will certainly annoy people who left Twitter for the fediverse to get away from these worthless turds, as they continue to make utterly entitled demands that the prevailing culture change to coddle their weak spineless personalities.

'Bud' (plural: 'buds') is now a swearword, huh. You learn something new every day.

 

[George Floyd]

How come they always whine about a "nazi problem" on the most left wing of internet communities? First the laughable demands for Twitter to do something about dem nazis, now they whine about the same thing on Mastodon which is basically the bolshevik party HQ.

It's a purity spiral. Once they drive out all existing "nazis" they continually invent new ones to drive out, so they can feel good about fighting "oppression" and "bigotry" and whatever.

How hard would it have been to say "bad people make good tools sometimes".

>Another aspect of “fediverse” (i.e., the whole infrastructure of federated servers that communicate with each other to provide a service) micro-blogging that differs from Twitter and affects the privacy of users is that there is no way to do a text search of all posts.
Once again, Pleroma does what Mastodon't. There's a full text search both on all public posts that federated, and a separate one for specific users. Granted that it doesn't work as well sometimes, with queries timing out before returning any results.

jwz (open-source dev who worked on Mozilla,) discovers Mastodon:

The more I read about Mastodon promoters' opinions on how it should work, the more I think, "How could you possibly think that is how it is going to go?"
One group of people want a Federated Feed Reader:

• They want to read the clever updates and memes from their friends and favorite celebrities.
• They want to post a GIF and have their friends validate them by hitting "like" on it.
• They want to see a feed of all the people they follow.
• And, maybe, some recommendations or trends.
• For these people, the best situation is: "It just doesn't matter what instance you are on, don't make me think about it".

Another group of people want Private Walled Gardens:

• Each instance represents a "community", with shared hopes and dreams.
• Each instance has their own bespoke, idiosyncratic code of conduct. (Some don't let you swear!)
• Depending on the admin's policies and whims, vast swaths of the social net might become unreachable, with the ebb and flow of inter-instance policy disputes.
• The feed of "random people who happen to share your instance" is believed to be as or more interesting than "people you follow on purpose".
  
  
• But these private walled gardens still (mostly) federate, so you can still interact with anybody on any server. The walls just aren't very high. Unless they are very high indeed, and then you get the degenerate case of an instance that federates with nobody, like (I think) cohost.org.

I know a lot of people who want the Federated Feed Reader version. These are the people who were kinda-ok with Twitter but would prefer it to not be dismantled by a billionaire crybaby, and also fewer nazis if at all possible.

The people I know who want the Private Walled Garden version are already using Discord for that. ("Discord: non-federated IRC with emoji-first design.")

Taking something like Mastodon, whose core concept is federation, and then not federating, or limiting federation, is kind of like buying an iPhone and not putting a SIM card in it. Like, yeah, there are use cases where that will work I guess, but if that's what you need there are simpler and more economical ways to get that.

In the olden days, when someone picked yahoo.com as their email host instead of hotmail.com, it wasn't because they thought to themselves, "I have more friends who use Yahoo than Hotmail, so I definitely want it to be easier to communicate with them." It wasn't because, "The Hotmail brand really speaks to my identity." No, they picked one over the other because it seemed like one of them had a website that sucked less.

But Mastodon instances aren't even competing on that! They seem to all be running the same version of the same software, so aside from some banner images and icons, they are all exactly the same user interface. This is great if you are in the "Federated Feed Reader" camp, less so for the "we are all unique flowers" camp.

So what I think is going to happen is, the Twitter Diaspora is going to descend on Mastodon, and they're going to pick their instances essentially at random, for example through the time-tested technique of "the first one on the list that isn't currently closed for sign-ups". And then a few months later, the people actually running those instances are going to start flexing their muscle, and the users' response will be, "Wait, who even are you? This sucks. I just wanted my memes".

It's gonna go great!

Two days later he gets banned for posting updates of his night club.
