some of us are interested in dismantling empire. much of my death-threat troubles ratcheted up when i started talking about nomadic identity, so perhaps some people do not like the idea that a person could just leave an instance they dislike with near-zero cost. i dunno. i suspect we will never be 100% free of imperialistic tendency. not in this century, anyway.
the worst part about Matrix is that they say things in the spec that simply are complete lies in practice.
like, if you wanna be compatible with Matrix, you have to code against Synapse.
trying to make Synapse behave as speced gets resistance from the Matrix team.
a friend of mine made an actual viable competitor to synapse, so New Vector just hired a bunch of people to add a bunch of new BS to synapse in some sort of feature battle in response
About lain + shitty jokes: if you don't like lain's jokes, that is a fair point, and if you personally don't want to use the software because of them, I can understand that.
About physical threats: i have received many DMs and e-mails over the past 2 months i have worked on Pleroma suggesting that I might be better off with a hole in my head. I enumerated a full list of proposals elsewhere. I will accept that Jo might have not intended to threaten. The timing is curious, and the subtoot was about me.
About blocking pleroma instances: absolutely do block whatever instances you want. but what is going on here, is that somebody was going around proposing *my* instance be blocked from instances where I have perfectly normal interactions, because "Pleroma is by nazis, for nazis." they were doing this in order to discourage my participation in the project and use of the software: in other words, they wanted to cut me off from my friends on the mastodon side of the network. because of the bad attention they got, they have stopped doing so, for now. I think you can agree that's not a nice thing to do.
- suggestions that my house should be burned down (nice) - suggestions that if i attend FOSDEM next year that people should show up and claim i assaulted them (very nice) - suggestions that Mastodon would be "better off if I took a bullet to the head" (thankfully I am glad these people are not living in the US) - suggestions that any attempts from Pleroma developers to participate in ActivityPub should be drowned out with spam on github - suggestions that my dox should be handed over to kiwifarms - suggestions that i should take an "acid-laced 9 iron to the crotch" (creative, I suppose) - suggestions that maybe I should be swatted
i mean, i guess i haven't *actually* been swatted yet, so there's that. this is some great "social" "justice" work being done here, for sure.
the reason to remove the Caddyfile would have nothing to do with it's correctness or not, but instead the decision of the Caddy author to put spyware inside his http server: https://caddy.community/t/the-caddy-telemetry-project/3224

kaniinidear social networking as blockchain people, what is your solution for when (WHEN) somebody posts child porn to the social network as a joke, and it's now permanently in the blockchain, meaning everyone who participates in the network now has a copy of said child porn and can go to jail at any time?
I've been talking about a relatively conservative approach towards bringing nomadic identity into ActivityPub over here. I intend to write a blog about it this weekend with the specifics (still hammering them out).
@howl's work to update the bundled Mastodon FE in #pleroma to 2.3.3 was merged today
the FE now pulls the post length setting from the API and functionality that doesn't fit the pleroma security model has been removed from the UI, so you won't be confused when it doesn't work
