@kris Rwanda and Myanmar have deeeeefinitely been on my mind lately as a result of the current #uspol environment.

@kris I understand the Cloudflare guy's reasoning, but it's specious: Cloudflare service is not a requirement to be on the net.

It speaks to a bigger issue: most of the Net is more akin to a shopping mall than a public square. Your soapbox speech is at the behest of the owners.

I'm more of a "free speech absolutist" than many here, but I draw the line at the idea that Cloudflare et al are *morally obligated* to provide material assistance to these people. That's ridiculous.

How Right-Wing Social Media Site #Gab Got Back Online

(The ironic thing? as soon as the #nazis move to decentralized social media, they won't need corporate sponsorship)

Youtube alternative energy videos are so enthralling. I'm green with envy tbh

@gdorn Not from the masto UI

Further, their handling of bug reports leaves A LOT to be desired. I've pretty much ceased contributing after they closed every open ticket on their repos for 'spring cleaning' with zero possibility of review.

Sorry, I'm not going to re-do all the work to submit bugs thru your byzantine fucking process when THE ORIGINAL REPORT IS RIGHT THERE.

Fuck that.

When are we going to see the results of this $50M grant? Because it's getting worse, not better.

#Signal

I'm a very heavy #Signal user and their code quality is trash, especially lately. Beyond the random message loss, the freezes & crashes on both platforms where I use it.

Last week it took a shit on my phone again, forcing me to flush the data store, but I have no SIM card now so I can't actually set it up on my phone.

And now? It just took a shit on my PC, so I'm *completely locked out of Signal* until I can pay for a SIM card and make a *brand new account.*

@gdorn ah okay, this is mimicking 'boost to original audience' functionality hidden in the context menu of private toots.

@gdorn Ah okay the fact that it didn't show up on s.c in that screenshot is spurious (for anybody who might read this)

@gdorn haha nice of it to light the lock icon up for max security 😂

@gdorn

welp

• Overhaul of moderation/blocking tools needed https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/8186

• silenced users cannot reply to messages sent to them https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/9028

• Think about renaming 'silence' to 'default block' https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/5694

• Give users the ability to unsilence users and instances for themselves https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/3890

• Only silence instance on federated timeline (default or option) https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/7153

@deadsuperhero Pretty much, yeah.

did #mstdnio get instance blocked by some places or is my timeline just a lot slower these days due to churn? @angristan
