You've probably heard us talk about it before: Vivaldi is owned by its employees and has 0 external investors.

@pluralistic I like the depiction on the right top because I have such a thing at home: A "Rotomat" it calls itself, all mechanical, even the random numbers generator. Numbers of wheels and some motors. If you started it, it sounded like a noisy machinery with drills and saws. Rightfully awesome.

Monitoring a service architecture by checking a highly depdendent service. Makes sense. But which tool to use for that? I am not so into #monit because I do not want to learn the syntax
"Health probe:
Configure a Deep health probe which checks for all must-have-dependencies. For example, a health probe should hit a service endpoint of your application which interacts with DB and a highly-dependent service." (top highlight)

I haven't followed the #TheBadSpace discussion in all details... but isn't the whole point of the #Fediverse that people can curate their own experiences rather than having their own timeline be determined by corporate algorithms?
And obviously, different users with different backgrounds have different perspectives and needs. Obviously, #BIPOC people - who represent a _much_ smaller percentage of users of Mastodon than it is the case with, say, Twitter - have different perspective on what they need for curating block lists.
Thus, I think the concept behind TheBadSpace is sound. And if it doesn't work out in practice, then I hope that other BIPOC Mastodon users come up with their own systems.
But "one size fits all" lists for defederation are not and will never be sufficient. We desperately _need_ different perspectives if we are to grow, and hopefully supplant corporate social media.
And supplanting corporate social media _should_ be the goal, since they are all riling people up against each other for the sake of "engagement". We are already seeing where this leads.
@whalecoiner ...and another good part is, it probably feels like #halflife cosplay 😆
