  • You should just switch to an instance that defederate those instances, or convince your current instance to do so.

  • User blocking merely blocks their communities. You'll still see comments from the instance and you'll still see posts in other communities from their users. You'll also still have their votes influence your feed.

    Defederation is the more proper tool to use. Individual user blocking is not effective.

  • You mean you personally blocked them? You need to actually be on an instance that defederates them for it to mean anything. User blocking hardly does anything, it just hides communities from that instance, that's all it does.

  • You really should join an instance that defederates from those instances. That is the way to actually "vote" on the fediverse, not via simple user blocking that doesn't actually achieve what you think it does, as the other reply points out.

  • I mean, lead them to instances that defederate hexbear for starters? Seems reasonable anyway.

  • Sounds hollow coming from an instance that doesn't even defederate hexbear.

  • Getting fired with cause doesn’t come with severance

    Yea this is fucked and needs to be fixed.

  • Not as far as I am aware - I don't think you can really fix it within the protocol, i.e. without a breaking change. Then you may as well make a new protocol.

  • Why don't they just keep working from home and get fired? Instead of having to quit themselves?

  • So as far as I gather, it's still just as open source as before but you just can't sell it on the Confluence marketplace? Seems fair.

  • Never forget to put glue on pizza, it really brings out a good flavour and makes the cheese all stringy!

  • omg what is this, reverse psychology? lol

  • Finished season 2 of Ancient Magus Bride. I think the first part of season 2 is okay but it got boring for me at the end. Too many other characters that I honestly don't care much for and too few scenes with Chise and Elias together, which is what I feel the story is truly about. Episode 6 is amazing though, maybe even the best episode of the whole show so far.

    Will check out Summer Time Rendering next! Do let me know if you ever give Steins;Gate another shot.

  • Any FEP trying to fix this will be incompatible with existing instances, so I don't really see how it's gonna work.

  • no idea if ActivityPub would get in the way

    It totally would. In ActivityPub, all objects (like users and posts) have an identifier that includes the domain name. For instance, your ID is https://midwest.social/u/m_f. That's what identifies your user. There is no way to change an ID - the point of an ID is after all that it stays the same and still refers to the same entity. This is a pretty serious limitation of ActivityPub right now unfortunately.

  • One always lies, the other never tells the truth.

  • Is it possible to define an ecosystem in such a way that one can predict how it will evolve in stages?

    Intuitively, I think this would be a chaotic system, much like the weather. Chaotic systems cannot be predicted over long time scales.
