  • I've not read much about their protocol yet, is there a proposal somewhere on what changes are needed?

  • Part of that is what they're saying: If you want to make Mastodon prevail over Bluesky, you should go start developing and encouraging instead of just insulting everyone. You're the person demanding everyone use and support an inferior product developed by much better people here.

  • it's the year of the linux des-

    oh wait, wrong thread

  • I mean, the electoral college is a weird weighing of the popular vote by state; ergo, the popular vote does mean things, but the popular vote doesn't.

  • It's like saying sky is blue.

  • i was just saying that i don’t think they ever became an ie skin lol

  • to render web pages in IE mode

    Sounds like a separate mode for compatibility reasons back when websites had that "Best viewed in Internet Explorer" badge

    Plus, 8 wasn't the last release either

  • Correction: KaiOS is a Linux distro that only runs web apps. It descends from the botched Firefox OS project and uses Firefox's browser engine.

  • Since she later reinstated and it was the only banning controversy, I don't think it's something work sticking to the record. "Lashing out" also has the connotation of straight-up attacking people, not just banning them. Not to mention I have yet to see receipts about the bans and for what messages.

    So, the amount of criticism is way less in the thread about leaving than the thread, say, "I'm sad about Draego. Like the "pushback from others saying that it's just not for you and it's not your place to judge" was buried and never seen (by default sorting) in the Daegon threads. I don't think this difference in community opinion can be explained by just the sympathy for leaving alone.

  • I agree that it's the best thing in capitalist society. I feel like if you think patents should exist, software patents should also exist, though.

  • ✨ anarchism✨ sorry, you said revolutionary 😎 /hj

  • I actually read the part about banning too many people, though I wouldn't characterize it as "lashing out". I'm pretty sure I included a quote about it but I didn't. Weird.

    I wasn't saying they weren't sympathetic enough, I'm saying that the amount of criticizing here is way too little compared to the two threads linked in the article to shrug off as caused by sympathy.

  • i get that there's valid criticism, but the amount of bad was incongruent with the amount of vitriol in that era that were so demanding

    the mod author lashed out at both the trolls and people caught in the crossfire

    where tho

    it is shitty to "joke" about doxxing people

    definitely, but none of us have seen the context. i've been having trouble finding the discord server, and it'd be great if you could find it and the context

    they were not overwhelmed with trolls

    that's how they read, especially when you compare their comments to the reddit post i linked. not even the sympathy for a person who leaves explains the difference to me
