  • Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say

    The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising [...]

    And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their "inclusivity" policy... we also don't know what was reported, only the reasons stated.

    Not saying that it wasn't unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it's written in a way that raises some red flags.

  • Sounds like you want https://diyhrt.wiki/. I'd also look around for places specifically for that (avoiding the "PM a random person"), and ask them what you posted here.

    Be warned that depending on your identity and all that you might end up dysphoric (depending on your dose and genetics), but maybe not since you said you're nb/agender, idk how it works for y'all. Be careful is all.

  • Yeah, did:web exists, but I still called it centralized because it still relies on did:plc pretty much everywhere (though honestly domain name handles might actually be did:web, not sure). Didn't know about that dual setup by Bluesky though!

  • My understanding was that activitypub was basically a rough formalization of existing protocols, designed to be as flexible as possible. More a template than a real protocol. Unfortunately mastodon's popularity basically made a bunch of things de-facto obligatory but not well documented, and there's still a bunch of ways to do.. anything.

  • That link doesn't work for me, but I ended up finding a post by them that seems to correspond. Good to know, thanks! Seems like it's realistic but expensive still (150$/mo?), and it's not gonna get cheaper... I hope they figure out a way to make them less centralized.

  • The aggregator is called the Relay, and I haven't even found anything suggesting one could realistically selfhost it. Then you need to handle the massive stream of data coming through it with AppViews, which are tough to handle too (there are a few but not many iirc).

    That said, I am also impressed with the thought behind ATProtocol. It seems much more robust and defined than ActivityPub.

  • Bluesky's federation model is actually quite interesting, they go for a very portable approach vs activitypub's instance-basis. Unfortunately, there's still a massive centralization point (the main relay, the only thing that can really handle the firehose), and identity is also centralized, albeit has mechanisms to be decentralized.

  • "The transgender topic" is already weird as a statement (kinda like "the gay agenda", it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and "clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie" implies it's bad.

    "As far as [...] lgbt flags on government buildings": it's... not far at all? Again, weird statement.

    "Biological male" is both wrong for the boxer (she's cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren't biological males by any reasonable definition). It's also generally conspiratorial.

    Overall it's not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.
