🇳🇱
@LWFlouisa Havent seen you in years, figured you left the fediverse.. Its wonderful to see you again!
@freemo Then I found out others were having the same experience with Eugene.
@LWFlouisa Yea QOTO got royally screwed by him too... He has been a disapointment for a lot of people.
@freemo its awful people got screwed, but its also oddly reassuring.
Once I got more technical ( I am learning that every I learn to code, Im figuring out how much I dont know ) I was wanting to fork Mastodon.
And make ita bit more like Diaspora, but having aspects that make Mastodon more current.
@LWFlouisa @freemo Oh that would be interesting. Mastodon needs a bit more shaking up. The basis is ok but there are so many things that could be better.
A fork is a lot of wirk (QOTO is a fork).. but yea its desperately needed for someone to fork mastodon and fix eugenes mess ups IMO
@freemo @LWFlouisa
There are a few interesting Mastodon forks around already, might be worth trying to get off those? Glitch for example? Or am I talking noob now?
@trinsec @freemo Yea Glitch and Soapbox I'm really enjoying.
I wanting to run one instance local only to test out chatbots first. That's mostly because I'm more used to static website generator.
But I thought why not test the decentralized west world like concept at a small scale so I know it actually works.
Like so many things in the fediverse there is a large group of people who wills uspend you for running soapbox at all.. apparently only Nazis run soapbox or something like that...
@freemo @LWFlouisa @trinsec is it a large group? Until now I thought it's mostly the few most extreme instances you wouldn't want to federate with anyway.
It is "the few extreme instances" and that is a larger group than I'd like to admit sadly.
Personally i dont know why politics has anything to do with what UI you use.
@freemo
Oh man, that reminds me of the blocklist-search-originally-from-kiwifarms debacle.. -.-
Well you're all correct, and that's actually precisely my fear with Eugene's approach.
For those who don't know I got kicked from the main precisely because political things going on I wasn't aware of.
Though it's not always easy to tell, because the default message is the same.
LAWL... Id love to see the post that got you kicked cause im pretty sure it was complete nonsense too... lol these people are so absurd sometimes.
@LWFlouisa ah yes, the classic. Good luck with your search, I'm not familiar with Peertube instances.
@freemo @Amikke @trinsec My fear with Soapbox was they were letting in a certain part of politics, that was becoming way to ubiquitous at the time.
( I am disillusioned by some aspects of the left, but I'm not that disillusioned. )
