I know right. I think that for a lot of people the loss of tolerance for different world views was partly the result of constant incivility. When you've got an intellectually diverse network and people are actually civil it just seems to me everyone is less hostile.

I've got a few of pleroma/mastodon accounts on a few instances, and even though they federate, i prefer this one because i feel the most comfortable here.

"WOAH, WHAT'S THAT?!"

Apparently kids find nothing on a desktop more exciting than a terminal window with a blinking cursor 😂

@Wetrix Well if a government official used Mastodon they would probably face the same problem haha. I agree, it is nuts. The concept makes sense at first glance, but then you think about it and it doesn't hold water.

@h3poteto I am checking this client out now. I quite like it! The only thing I am missing is multipane like in the Mastodon advanced web UI. Any chance you'll be adding dual pane or similar functionality? I know it can be complex with deciding what opens in what pane, but being able to view multiple things at once (like notifications and timelines or home and local/federated timeline) would be very useful.

: Simplified Federation.

Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the "Enter your Mastodon handle" popup and takes you to your own "home" instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.

@Wetrix Yep, it has been coming. The prez got sued for blocking, court ruled that public officials can't block people. Now every single american politician is going to get fucked. Also there's a new question about whether Twitter can block people while government officials use the site. It is a brave new world we live in.

Yeah I used to subscribe and check them out quite often. I find a lot of good stuff, a lot of uninspired repetitive stuff and every now and then a group that consistently writes masterpieces.

Just like any genre of anything, most of it is medocre but you find some jewels. Elder is one of those, I can't get enough.

@nikolal Yeah. But it is a sign that government could get unfriendly. I think this discussion about FB and Libra that many members of congress are having could potentially lead to broad restrictions that hurt the legality of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Fortunately it cannot be stopped, but it would still be better if there was not a fight over it.

The idea that freedom of speech is separate from freedom of the press is incorrect. The press are the people, there is no distinction. The ability to speak is the ability to inform. The fact that some people want to push this idea that the press is some entity separate from the people is outdated and dangerous. People are the press, the press is made up of people, anyone can inform anyone else of anything. Anyone can be a journalist.

wayland is 10 years old why are we using DEPRECATED SOFTWARE?

@loli@gab.com lol so you're saying that the fediverse went through this whole debate on federation and they complained about getting blacklisted by instances only to turn around less than a week later and essentially wall off their instance? What a fucking clown @a is a fucking fagin milking the boomers on his website charging them for features everyone else gets for free selling them free speech while walling them off from the world artificially.
