@ChrisWere tl;dr plz don't go
@ChrisWere I think you're right. But mastodon isn't important because of what it has become and is, to me, but what it could be. Mastodon has bad and good people, but ultimately mastodon is just so much better than the alternative.
After watching this recent bout of bullying spiral out of control is the first time I've felt the Fediverse might not be for me either.
Regardless of your view on the chap, if that kind of abuse can happen to someone you don't like, it can happen to you, or someone much more vulnerable. It's been made abundantly clear that our anti-abuse tools and our community behaviour are inadequate.
The Fediverse failed today and we need to take a critical look at what can be done.
For mastodon.social users:
Dogpiling and harassment are off-limits no matter how justified you think you are. The rules are for everyone.
Strongly considering adding screenshot-dunking to the code of conduct as well. We don't need that culture here.
:yikes:
@nutomic @moppelkotzer Ich habe zwei Probleme:
1) Schnelligkeit: zu schnell π
2) Vokabeln: Es gibt zu viele WΓΆrter
Wenn ich Zeit hΓ€tte, kΓΆnnte ich vielleicht mein deutsch schnell verbessern. Aber Vokabelnlernen ist langweilig. Ich habe Lust, in der Zukunft Zeit in Deutschland zu verbringen, um mein VerstΓ€ndnis zu ΓΌben.
Heute, lese ich gerne deine deutschen Toots und manchmal, verstehe π
Ich finde es besonders beeindruckend, dass du so schnell Spanisch gelernt hast.
@unascribed Yes plz
@trayofbees I guess in this particular case it is a bit different. I'm just scared mastodon could become birdsite π
@nutomic @moppelkotzer Ich lerne deutsch seit ungefΓ€hr fΓΌnf Jahre. Noch kann ich fast nichts Gesprochenes verstehen (z.B Nachrichten), und ich kann nur ein bisschen schreiben und lesen. Es fΓ€llt mir so schwer dass ich fast aufgegeben habe. π Ich versuche ab und zu π
@matrix
Sounds good. Hope it goes well!
@kropot
I guess I mostly agree. Very usable atm and great potential though

@art
It's not in the fediverse π
@switchingsocial
As your alternative for instant messaging, you should mention #matrix (https://matrix.org).
Will there ever be a #Spotify alternative? I hate it from a #freedom, #privacy, #DRM and #decentralisation perspective, but I get so much in my life from listening to #music there. π
@mastohost
Thanks. Be sure if anyone asks me where to get a hosted mastodon instance, you'll be my suggestion.
@switchingsocial
@ster That really depends. I know of instances that are running on old software without any firewalls or updates in months, that is much worse than hosting on Masto.host, even being self hosted.
So, it's not a black and white thing. There is a large spectrum of gray in the middle. I don't think Masto.host is ideal but I think it is necessary if we want to move to a decentralised future and allow non tech admins access.
But that is just my view and you could be right.
