A quick and easy way to discover antisemitic instances you are federated with is to go to Administration > Custom Emojis and then search Remote for the shortcode "jew"

More people in the west should be taking umbrellas to protests like the people of Hong Kong

@somarasu the thing is, strictly speaking Tusky and whatever else they are whining about all still meet the complete definition of free software and even meet free software distrobution guidelines (which are even more strict) that the FSF put out. All their whining shows is that they aren't using Free Software because it encourages Freedom, but they are using it because the current, historically predominant, Free Software culture tolerates people who are extremely toxic and were kicked out by everybody else already.

That said, do I agree with the FSF's definition of Free Software? No, because it doesn't allow license restrictions against evil shit in the name of "Freedom", and even though developers can code some kind of block against that stuff, bad people can always fork it and use the work for evil.

Reminder that not only are Electron apps slow, but they also rely on proprietary software (portions of the chromium codebase). Atom, VSCodium, Riot "Desktop", are all guilty of this. All of them ping home to Google because of this.

Also related: There is nothing cross platform or native about releasing your web app in a little Google Chrome window. Frankly, that's just a deceptive claim. If it can be locally run in a browser, release it that way so the user can use their own browser.
