@freemo When I saw this, I thought such a group should have a name that would capture the nature of such a group.
Fractured Fairytales came to mind. I'm not sure this could even be used without attracting the attention of angry lawyers, but if the group were ostracized... "fractured" from the #Fediverse over fairytales, it would seem to me to fit.

@herid The one tool tthat would let you is very much frowned upon to endorse as it is written by Kiwifarms.
I can tell you that since I've seen the list it is very few large servers... its mostly limited to a bunch of single user servers and very small servers.
These servers are also known for being toxic so probably for the best. Most of them block the vast majorrity of the fediverse.
I just saw https://twitter.com/BrynnTannehill/status/1596509817459380227?s=20&t=mXYbid1Qfoq4S6grxaRAxA posted, which may be a useful, relevant thread by the wonderful Brynn Tannehill!

The concept of racial integration is more controversial now than it has been at any time since the early-1960s.

I want to thank everyone for the ovwhelming support for our cause, you guys mean a lot.
I have been tthinking a lot lately and thing I have a social solution to this problem. It is something I am going to start doing a writeup on ttoday. I think it will not just thelp QOTO but in general address the unwantant fracturing of the fediverse.
I will share the dettails once my writeup is complete but if anyone is intterested in hearing more or potentially help being a part of it, please reply here or reach out to me in DM.

So my computer seemingly won't boot. It goes into the HP loading screen and never seems to leave.
Can anyone give suggestions as to what might be going on? I have an HP Pavilion HPE from 2010 or so, running Ubuntu Linux

@atomicpoet LOL. TBH, this tweet from Elon is how I found Mastodon. Didn’t know about this #mastodon before this info from Elon

I love atheists because they don’t try to takeover the government to force their lack of beliefs on others.

He's the richest man only because Telsa is a memestock.
Once people realize Tesla's value is high for the same basic reason FTX's was*, it'll normalize down to something a lot smaller.
* people put money in, and number go up; and because number go up, more people put more money in. All while paying lots of attention to the brand and the memes but without paying much attention to the fundamentals of the business
@Ellinorianne I don't understand... Someone is putting @/WeRateDogs on an attack list? What, they can't find any puppies to kick?
Yes, I need to get around to reading the posts and the Docket also, but so little time and at the moment, so much family personal drama. I'll have to watch as things come up.
This commercial is my damned life right now. >:(
My interpretation of the data is that this was kicked off earlier than the current #TwitterMigration, and the influx has only inflamed the petty hate and jealously of the Antifa crowd dancing to the tunes called by the actual Nazi who started this after being kicked from qoto.org. So it's a fire that's been burning, and throwing some good ol' LOX onto it didn't help.

@mathlover @Pat @Romaq
Yep. Old Fediverse drama that's coming up again now that Mastodon is gaining popularity.
Had the influx not occurred - it probably wouldn't happen again so soon.
@Pat While I prefer the Libertarian philosophy as a personal view, I recognize it's crap for scaling up for social behavior. For that, I've been excommunicated from The True Libertarian Faith as a Apostate Statist.
We wouldn't be in this situation AT ALL if only the Libertarians had designed and built Mastodon.
Heh.
The Mastodon situation, tl;dr:
Petty jealousy and hatred among hard-line Antifa instances, provoked by an actual self-admitted Nazi kicked from QOTO, have pressured the "newbe instance maintainer" who ALSO maintains the Mastodon code into dropping QOTO.ORG without notice or stated public cause, then citing causes based on proven fabrication by the Antifa folks dancing to the tunes set by the actual Nazi who kicked it off.
In short, people seem to be acting like people.
