Just read it and the list of extensions is impressive. I could finally hop from Firefox Lockwise.

@cwebber@octodon.social @jfred @spritelyproject@octodon.social I see. No worries. It's not really my place to demand so much. I should understand #OCap first and become familiar with the discussion anyway.

@FreeSoftware I love Libre Software!

Very interesting, although is it possible a medium other than Google is available? I'm very uncomfortable using it.

If you want an ActivityPub solution for groups, check out https://groups.qoto.org - you could create an equivalent @spritely@groups.qoto.org group.

@design_RG Maybe ActivityPub+IPFS, or Scuttlebutt+Zigbee lol.

@StoneLi @freemo @olamundo @design_RG @QOTO I've actually been curious as to how censorship proof ActivityPub / the Fediverse is. Maybe it could bring about something new in China and similar countries.

> it also means I'm in a fedi-echo chamber of sorts. Kinda defeats the point of the fedi.

I disagree. imo, the Fediverse is about user freedom. Your blockers *chose* to block you, and their instance's users entrusted their admins to block you. That's their freedom to do so.

People complain about a fractured Fediverse like its a problem, but that's how the real world works. I argue that this is a good and natural thing. Besides, people can explore and make alt accounts, something not possible with centralised birdsite.

@tedu It's always a careful play. Without a doubt, they understand this well. They understand the Streisand effect, but they also control the platform, what surfaces, what people see etc.

So my educated guess is they estimate how effective a ban would be. I wouldn't be surprised if they use ML/AI or something. They already do for curating interests.

Besides, they have a plethora of methods to censor. Shadowbanning, non-chronological manipulated timelines, priming, psychological warning info boxes, link bans, topic bans, temporary bans, intentionally ambiguous ToS.

@sir https://pleroma.social ? It optionally comes with the Mastodon web client, and it's specs seem way less bloat.

@vim
I wish vim-plug's windows could be floating popups. If someone figures this out, let me know please.

A command's help flag should not print more than a screenfull (ideally max 5 lines). I should not have to guess whether I need to use a pager to catch whatever comes out. Add a verbose help flag or something.

@digital_carver @vim
I thought about trying neovim because apparently you can replace GUI text boxes (like in your browser) with a neovim instance. I'm not compelled to try it out soon though. Vim's ubiquity is a great reason for me to stay.
