Counterargument: It's ugly, barely readable, unimaginative, boring, overused to death and smells like old people.
Times New Roman is the most underrated font of all times: It’s readable, it’s highly-legible, and it’s beautiful. #TimesNewRoman #typography #fonts
Feel free to do so.
Blocking @josemanuel for using a homophobic epithet. #transparency #tos

Why did it take Elon Musk taking over for so many people to finally decide, in a way that compelled them to take real action, that Twitter was untenable?
The only way to convince people to stop enabling and supporting corps like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Adobe, etc, is to wait for somebody remarkably reviled to take over those platforms?
And what's the tipping point? Why is Musk intolerable compared to Zuckerberg or that-guy-in-charge-of-Apple, et cetera?

> People who claim that there must be «no tolerance for the intolerant» usually ignore this divide between actions and words, probably because, in their own minds, it does not exist.
it's mind-bogging isn't it? as if there was no difference between someone voicing an opinion and someone taking an action _or_ ordering others to take action - which only works if there is force involved already. i think https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/what-is-freedom-of-speech.html is a quite good write up.
imo the only sane way is free speech and voluntarism, but many people hate both of these concepts - it would be life without the training wheels.
I'm a free speech absolutist because, as far as speech goes, I hate everybody, but, as far as actions go, I've always tried to be a good person and help everyone.
People who claim that there must be «no tolerance for the intolerant» usually ignore this divide between actions and words, probably because, in their own minds, it does not exist.
In any case, if everyone was tolerant, or if we only tolerated those who were also tolerant, how could tolerance be a virtue? Being good only to those who are good to you does not make you a good person. Virtue has value only when it's faced against its opposite.
Some New Wavers are like those people that, even after starting a new relationship, are still obsessed with their exes. Dude, if you care that much about Twitter, just go back. Nobody's holding you hostage here.
The only (and supposedly mutually exclusive) alternative to freedom of speech is 'Political "correctness"'? Really? How about resisting bigotry, ...

I do prefer people who love the Fediverse than people who just hate Twitter. :-)
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: It was just _one_ fucking idiot. I misinterpreted what @joran had said. I'm really sorry about that.

I just replied to two fucking idiots who wanted Spanish speakers out of their ‘regional’ instances, so that's clearly bullshit.
mastodon.social users are the normies of the Fediverse.
Os seré sincero: josear no es el rollo hilarante que vosotros creéis. A mí me parece un poco humor de mujer madura que se cree ingeniosísima, pero ni puta gracia, la verdad.
Personally, I don't understand how PeerTube works. The other day I tried downloading a video using a .torrent client, but I just couldn't do it. There were no seeders, not even the original server, and no peers. And the reason I wanted to do that was to share the burden on the server by seeding the video myself once downloaded. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but if I wasn't and it really doesn't work like that, I fail to see the point of PT, to be honest.
I will try again from a different computer, though, just in case it was my fault.
Something I always wondered about. Let's say you're a video creator. Let's say you make one video a week. You just like to do it, it's not your job...
He's the closest we have to an influencer and I'm perfectly fine with it.
@ChrisWere being spot on, as usual.

So I am currently restructuring my companies security policy and trying to get Open PGP as a central point in all this.
Any input on how others have structured their trust network inn a corperate setting.. How do you verify which keys are employees and what roles (such as deploying software) people have?
I have my own idea as to how im going to structure this but I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts first

I honestly wonder what compelled her to move right after publishing a single post.
Wow. It took this lady less than half an hour to get her account all dressed up, post an introduction and, immediately after that, move to another instance.
New here and don't know anything! I study bumble bees, their behaviour and conservation
