I'm thinking about setting up my own activityPub server for personal use and looking at misskey (https://github.com/syuilo/misskey) because I'm most comfortable with javascript.
The contributor list is full of anime girls and I'm vaguely aware that there's some correlation between that and white supremacy... They have a code of conduct, but the readme itself has pics of busty anime girls.
So, do any of my followers have experience with the community/codebase? Would you recommend it?
@ansuz Misskey is a japanese project by a japanese developer(s), so, by definition it has absolutely nothing to do with white supremacy :-)
@halcek I get what you're saying and would agree if white supremacists were particularly known for holding worldviews that were internally consistent.
From the outside I can only tell that they speak Japanese, not that they are Japanese. I've stumbled across some pretty weird (and extremely racist) subcultures online, so at this point I just prefer to ask before involving myself in a community.
For a particularly bizarre example see this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/06/my-little-pony-nazi-4chan-black-lives-matter/613348/
@halcek In any case, thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a look at microblog.pub, even though I'd still prefer something js-based for hacking purposes.
