People's reactions to Gab joining the Fediverse has done, and will continue to do, far more damage to the communities here than Gab itself.

For example, many instances are blocking https://mstdn.io because they refuse to block Gab, separating people from their possible and actual friends on the network. This is harmful.

Defederating based off of who other instances federate with will harm adoption. When a user can't follow their friends on most nodes, they'll lose interest quickly.

Due to the hacker crackdown on #YouTube, you may want to check out #PeerTube. I've written an article that's a good introduction! https://fediverse.blog/~/EveryFediverseInstance/peer-tube-instance-megareview

This whole movement of "anti-COC" and "anti-SJW" is one of the worst things to happen to the free software/#FLOSS movement. What's the problem with being asked to not be abrasive to others? Some people act like #linux adopting their new COC was awful, but really, it just makes contributing to the project less emotionally draining.

Anyone who thinks that COC's are a serious issue needs to reevaluate why they can't simply act from the standpoint of "be kind to others".

This is why we need to leave proprietary network services. They will *always* track you. #privacy #selfhosted

@matt Thank you for trying not to be a helicopter parent! I guarantee your kids will appreciate it.

I'd imagine the type of grads who are hired at Intel immediately are probably the ones who didn't have helicopter parents.
