@hellpie @nerthos @thatbrickster @roka @quad “Mastodon is the single greatest effort for a decentralized network during this full-web decade. One person did all the work and then simply offered it to everyone. Although it has no data protection, no development possibility or commercial structure, it reached 1 million users in December 2017, a year after its release. More than enough proof the community is ready for a big shift, given the right platform."
That|s utter bull. Gargamel needed help from GNU social people for making his software stop Ddosing the fediverse.
Overall, the biggest losers of Merkels fucked policies are the 2 Major Parties that have managerd to piss away 12%. Cuck Schulz never had a change, because the SPD are seen as traitors and the only reason the CDU isn't at 20% too, is because CSU is bolstering its numbers. Looks like we are going to see a traditional CDU/FDP coalition. Carrying on with a SPD/CDU grand coalition would be insanity. You also forget that Mama Merkel is a opportunistic wuss. With the AFD in, she will do anything they wanted to do so she can stay in power.
@nepfag This took a little longer, because I had to start over.
1000 years ago in the future (2 weeks ago), Vox Day went after Anglin and the daily stormer for being dishonest and basically Gawker for 4cuck /pol/-tards. Someone even leaked the Stormers' style guide to Day. This all should have ended in the pretty pointless debate whether the Nazis where leftwing or not (they were relative to Zentrum and the Monarchists). That premise is shit, because the Burger politics is not high resolution, and the french Ancient Regime terms are pretty faulty in themselves. Shortly later, the Nazi LARPers started to call Vox and his Wife pedos and Day started to go after them legally for defamation. He has contacted GAB. They said, that he should get a court order. Fair enough. The Days filed last week, Vox left canceled his PRO-subscription, left GAB and the should be the end of it. But it wasn't. This weekend, some sperg called microchip started some shit and posted a lot of Null-tier threats, even at me who just posted about him indirectly after I have refused to spoonfeed him public blog posts. Then someone doxed Vox and his family. This was over as soon more legal action kicked in. While all this happened, GAB sued google over not getting their app into the play store. As if you have a right to be on the motherfucking play store and anti-trust lawsuits are over in like a quarter. Today, Weev the goon had the ebin idea to call his followers to bomb the kikes and Gab's domain registrar had enough of GAB, their ostrich policy when it comes to user misbehavior and all that other bullshit attached to that. In 5 days, Gab will lose its domain and the Manosphere got stung in the leg again.
What do we learn from that?
1. Pretty much the same shit I learned from Jannies ebin failure; Have a consistent and robust moderation philosophy. As soon you run a community, you are their fucking virtual pastor (without connection to the Lord of course) . Whether you like it or not. You have to make some reasonable rules that forms what kind of community you get and enforce them!
2. If you want to have a serious movement, never let in goons. Easy for us, hard as fuck for normalfags. Protipp: Making it about measurable standards you can't lie about helps a lot.
3. Don't be an idiot zealot like Torba. It only gets your operation sunk. Reminder that a pig farming Yogi, his halfjap Otaku Son and a cripple have beaten Gab last may. 8chan still exists, is still a number 2 (number 2... huh huh, huh huh, huh huh) and slowly growing.
