The Tor Project

📣 Starting this month, we're running a campaign to increase the number of Snowflake proxies run by volunteers. Snowflake is a new way to defeat internet censorship bundled in Tor Browser Alpha. You can help users in censored countries to connect to Tor by running a Snowflake proxy!

I have 3 months left of my last year, and I'm dying to end it now. Crazy.

Thought.

If 1*n is an idempotent operation, -1*n is "contrapotent".

There's more ssg's than moons in our solar system, and I'm guilty for writting my own.

git.sr.ht/~torresjrjr/pdssg

(Don't even, it's a bloated boar which needs putting down)

Worst thing is, I'm thinking of wrtting another one. Help.

On the contrary, being a '99ner, I'm only rediscovering old protocols and computing. I agree, it's a haystack out there with all it's gems and rubble. I just want to carry the torch.

No worries

Did you mistake it for some kind of link shortener?

The real source of bloat is in the W3C specs and APIs.

You can build a soy-free gemini browser in a weekend. Building a modern, compliant web browser today is impossible.

I cope by avoiding anything chromium-based, but really we need a clean slate.

I wrote a README on getting an API token for a bot account right with curl. It's basically the mastodon docs guide without all the bloat, and I include shell commands so you don't have to make them yourself: https://github.com/TaizWeb/fedibot-guide

@kaia @rozenglass it "works" on mobile, though it's kinda hard to use with the scaling
we ported bloat to mobile a bit ago:

To expand on what @luke said implicitly, there exists digital "levers" at these sites which control - amongst other things - the probability of a post appearing on your timeline (although they might not describe these as such).

Since your timelines are not chronological (unlike the Fediverse), Twitter/Facebook can increase the probability and "nudge" a post to your timeline.

This also means that a company can lower the probability of a post appearing, unbeknownst to a poster or their followers. This is "shadowbanning".

Nudging and shadowbanning are two sides of the same coin. Coupled with the snowball effect, and with the metadata of every user, these mechanisms are extremely effective at changing the *perception* of public attitudes without suspicion towards the company.
