网传一名00后的辞职信

看书说广东古时候有种蛇，叫量人蛇。
此蛇爱好为在路上随便拦住一个行人，然后立起身子跟人比身高，并洋洋得意说：我高！
如果行人沉默不语，它就把人吃了。如果行人随便举起个棍子雨伞什么的，也说“我高”，蛇就当场坠地被活活气死。
笑死了，这蛇怎么跟有些男人一样啊，可能垂死之际还会使出最后的力气嘶声大喊：一米八！一米八！一米八！

Fuck you Konami for not allowing streaming Metal Gear Rising from the Xbox ;w;

I mentioned this in a private message to someone recently about why a small handful of servers block qoto. I wanted to reiterate it here for the new comers on QOTO who dont know the history:

So there are some servers out there that demand every server int he network block every instance they do, and if a server doesnt block an instance they block then they block you in rettatliation.

Their reason for this is quite flawed but it goes like this.. If we federate with a bad actor instance and we boost one of their posts then their users will see it and defeat the purpose of the block. The problem is, this isnt how it actually works. If they block a server and we boost it, they wont see the boost, thats how blocks work.

The issue becomes even more complicated when you consider the fact that these servers, by virtue of their policy, have huge block lists where they block tons of major servers. So in order to satisfy them we too would have to block a huge number of servers.

This means you have a choice, you either join a server that isnt blocked, but has a huge block list themselves, or, you join a server that doesnt block and be blocked by a small handful of servers. Obviously that means on QOTO you will have bigger view of the world than you would on any of these others servers. In fact QOTO has onne of the largest federation footprints of any server in the network.

I want to also explain why we choose the decision we did. Years ago when this controversy started and servers across the fediverse started blocking there was a divide of people taking sides. WOTO was one of the few servers that didnt take sides and allowed people read content from any server (but with strict hate speech rules). This caused a huge influx of people,s pecifically from the LGBTQ community, onto our server. It turns out many people relied on us not-blocking for their physical safety. There were big name biggots (like milo yanappolus) who were on the network. They used their accounts here to watch his account for doxing so they could warn themselves and their community and protect themselves accordingly. In fact we added a feature just for them called subscriptions which allowed them to monitor accounts without following them so they could do so anonymously.

In tthe end for the safety of the LGBTQ community here we refused to engage in mass server blocking and instead encouraged our users to block servers on an individual basis and provided access to block lists for them to do so. But some really misguided servers blocked us anyway.

Thankfully the servers blocking us are few and far between and are limited to only the most excessive and aggressive block lists. As I said, QOTO has one of the largest federation footprints on the fediverse,

有大外宣，也有大内宣，大内宣里最好玩的一派是擅长冷嘲热讽的“自苦派”。

自苦的意思是自怨自艾，认为爹永远是爹，是一个邪恶又强大的爹，当前所发生的一切事情都没有意义。他们最擅长消解反抗的意义和价值，在他们眼里，爹是坏的，反抗者是蠢的，只有他们自己，独立有清醒。

你要问他怎么处理这个“僵局”，哎，还能咋的，认命吧。
就这样的小伙伴，俗称就是“扯后腿”，他们是最擅长扯后腿的人。

话再说的重一点，这些人，是有一定分辨能力，但是又无法跳出自己的被塑造的“价值体系”之外，甚至也无法看到事情的全部，更不能看到被宣传掩盖的事实真相。

简而言之，他们觉得自己不是小粉红，可惜，他们仍然是被强大叙事所征服的小粉红，而他们对这种强大的跪拜和惶恐，在消解反抗叙事的同时，又加固了爹的权威——你看，这个人他好像很聪明，既然他都同意跪拜，好像爹确实很强大。

这些人，不管有意还是无意，都是在为爹的事业添砖加瓦，这副又怂又干不过又无力屈服的样子，恐怕是我们每一个人都要敬惕的。

以上所有，对事不对人，请勿对号入座，萍水相逢，请多使用屏蔽这个冲浪小技巧。

I like this kind of Humor.

@Soda 长毛象和其他任何服务一样，站长提供服务，维持站点运行不可能是免费的，如果没有足够的金钱和人力支撑也会面临关站，这是现实规律。
所以长毛象设计的理想场景就是一群人基于相同兴趣爱好或者追求、目标、愿景聚集在一起，成为一个共同体，不仅共同为站点的运行提供看得见摸得着的人力物力，维持站点的物理运行，背后也有稳固的共同价值来维系群体之间的连接，才能长久稳定地运行下去。这样的站点即使被恶意攻击、技术故障一次次倒下去，也能再一次次地重建。

相对地，如果一个站点的用户全都不关心站点的运作，就连为自己所在站点掏钱都不愿意，站点首先就不可能存在，如果站长是自讨腰包，完全自己维持整个站点的运作，等于用户是在白嫖站长，那也是不可持续的，存续和管理全凭站长一句话，如果站长自己没钱了但还想强行运行那结果就是用户怎么对站点，站长就会怎么加倍反薅回去，通过加广告卖用户隐私等行为来维持站点运行就是必然。
如果一个站点的用户们愿意给站点的只有维持站点运行的钱，站点内部不同群体没有共同追求的价值理念，互不信任，无法协商，因为各种争端逐渐造成群体的撕裂，直至陆续离开这个站点，到最后连维持站点运行都做不到。

网络社群和现实社会的运行原理一样，只是成本更低，迭代更快。
