@jellypotato @brainblasted krita is pretty good
-
@unlofl @FloatingGhost I mean from what I gathered the Gab experience is basically a mashup of Mastodon and Pleroma UX philosophies with about 100000000000000000000000 bugs added in for good measure, so I mean, I wouldn't suggest it personally?

i tried krita yesterday
look, pretty femme aesthetic furry mecha adjacent cutie in the loading screen is already 100 steps ahead of the competitor
hashtag free market

@brainblasted I think the better question is why aren't we just using software that isn't utterly broken in 2019 anyway
-
@FloatingGhost sounds like great software
-
@nerthos @roka @ffs @igeljaeger @oneway that's basically why we have it possible to flag a DM and make it visible to admins.
-
fun fact
if you rebloostweet from gab, the user you boosted flat out cannot view your profile anymore

@FloatingGhost lol what trash

@ffs @igeljaeger @oneway
I'm extremely skeptical based on years of experience dealing with this exact issue across numerous services.
what they do is redirect the grooming to a service that is less moderated.
the whole hullabaloo about grooming is why Linden Lab started doing ID verification. guess what happened? predators stuck around on the teen grid (and then later the general continent when the teen grid was shut down) and just redirected their victims to Skype.

I'm saying we need to catch it before it gets to the "going down in the DM" stage. adults don't have any business flirting with kids. so we need to start calling out that behavior when we catch it.
of course we should also be aware that some cases (perhaps many cases) of adults flirting with underage users may simply be ignorance.
a lot of people who are known to admins to be minors may not be known to random adults to be minors.

@rey have they gone and watched the original little mermaid recently? they might be a little surprised to learn that Ariel has quite a tan.

@ffs @igeljaeger @oneway
I don't think DMs are as evil as you say, but there do need to be some controls over them. I think Pleroma strikes a good balance. if someone reports a DM, the admins can see it in AdminFE.
-
@feld that's erlang

@ffs @igeljaeger @oneway
i mean, i think we agree here honestly.
i don't really care what two consenting adults do in their own space, on their own time.
my problem (and maybe mastodon people don't see it because mastodon actually does not give you a clean timeline like they claim it does, it's actually highly filtered) is that i see, usually at least once per day, some instance of an adult interacting inappropriately with someone who is known to be a minor.

@Dee
that's the other thing. the gaslighting Mastodon does is so bad that it leaks the existence of the blocked user all over the place.
so why the hell would i want to implement this broken trash
-
@waifu hell yeah Totem Tribe was the fucking shit
-
@ffs @igeljaeger @oneway
i just find it funny that Mastodon folks are so eager to cancel people over things that are complete bullshit, but they'll leave the stuff that is very clearly happening in public alone.
like, why not actually "cancel" the people doing fucked up shit for once?
-
@Dee
unfortunately Mastodon blocks gaslight the end user.
this would be maybe, to some extent, forgivable if it did not gaslight the admins. but it does.
i mean, maybe i'm old fashioned, but i think an admin should be able to know what is going on with her instance at all times without having to use the special admin system to do it.
-
@ffs @igeljaeger @oneway
i mean, i'm just bluntly stating that eevee's pedophilia accusation was caused by bullshit furry drama, they tried to get her blackballed from some furry communities, basically.
this stuff happens all the time with furries, it's one of the reasons why i find the furry fandom to be a continual source of disappointment.
and of course there's a HUGE pedophilia problem with furries too, which is largely shielded by all of the *fake* accusations flying around.
-
"lies to the people who installed it," you ask?
yeah. if you get blocked on Mastodon, it starts doing some pretty strange stuff: namely, the software starts lying to you, the admin of the software, about the existence of the account which blocked you.
and the justification is "if they disappear, the target won't know they've been blocked."
which is of course complete nonsense, because:
- they don't actually disapppear
- Mastodon starts throwing fake server errors when you try to discover the user, read profile data, etc.
this is just a bad design that has the opposite effect of what is intended. let blocks just unsubscribe the user and forbid resubscription. that's behaviour that actually makes sense. trying to emulate the behaviour of platforms where the strategy only works because there's a single server involved doesn't make any damn sense.
