Follow the white rabbit! Oh... the rabbit is resting. Shhh.

@Biggles

mastodon gives servers freedom, some choose to be echo chambers, some dont.

@cstross

@galena I would agree with you there. Heavily moderated places lead to further fears and anxiety that something you say could lead to you being rejected after you've already been isolated into this group. Even old sins are easy pickings.

"here, instances compete ON moderation. if they suck at it, they sink."

I don't know about you, but SPC has little moderation and we've been going on for over 5 years now. We haven't sunk. Not everyone wants to be heavily moderated. That is more of a feature in support for centralising platforms.

lol lmao

The Paradox of Popper.

Everyone who references "The Paradox of Tolerance" almost certainly has not read the book, because it was written specifically to destroy the worldview which they're espousing.

So it seems joinmastodon removed QOTO from their directory without cause, without contacting us, and without any discussion or due diligence.

Since this is the only way to actually find QOTO for new users if it isnt reversed soon it could mean the end for our wonderful community.

If you care about this place remaining fair, respectful, and inclusive environment I highly suggest everyone reach out to them annd voice your objecttion and your disapointment and having no procedure to keep this fair and inclusive.

If you want to see QOTO stick around you can email your objecttion here:

hello@joinmastodon.org

Feel free to CC me here: jeffrey.freeman@qoto.org

Please be respectful, we want to show them we are the good guys and not give them any reason to object.

If Fedi grows enormously, then the Fedi equivalent of SEO will inevitably emerge.

i’m in a code review with elon musk. ive got the CSS for http://neopets.com on 3 monitors. my browser’s in dark mode so it looks cool. “this part?” he asks, pointing to code for the Giant Omelette. “caches tweets in the mainframe cyberhex,” i say. he nods. “as i suspected”

Be judged by the glowing resistor

Earlier this year someone donated about 600 VHS tapes of live recordings of bands from the 1970s to the 1990s, that were in the archives of a small Houston-based record store chain. They put them up for auction, and a group bought me the whole batch.

Well, half of them are digitized:

It's okay to look at modern society and to feel depressed about it. Even to feel overwhelmed at times. We live in some hard decadent times without a way to articulate it properly. We're told that life is better and to be distracted with the consumption of products. Give yourself the space and time to grieve for your sense of loss here. Take it easy.

Think of it as a chance to learn about what matters to you. Afterwards, you can refocus on those things and work towards making what matters to you a reality in your life. It's all a process. One that we continue to cycle through when we lose our way.

This is so very infantile and yet so funny. I genuinely like Peterson but I also like crazy edit videos.
