Yeah it doesn’t need “permission” in the traditional social media sense, that’s the thing. Dude just made it so the things or people he didn’t like caused “error messages.” And yeah it really should have to be the instance that blocks things, that’s what everybody’s pissed about.

luckyyyyy

Yeah I’m super active I feel like how have I not pissed this person off!?

Oh yeah honestly the rapidity with which this took hold and almost everybody agreed FUCK THAT GUY and started working towards a collective fix actually gives me a lot of faith in fedi. I’m kinda hoping this does open up more conversation about open and customizable sorting and filtering algorithms. I feel like there’s space in fedi for more complex and personalized algorithms like you see on mainstream social media but in a way that’s easy for the end user to pop open, examine, and tweak to their needs, and easy to apply templates that are clear about their intentions and publicly auditable.

Reverse inflation: delete a proportional 3/4 of the 1%'s money. Just delete it. G o n e .

I made a generator for my usernames that creates pronounceable gibberish with bouba and/or kiki vowels and hard and/or soft consonants.

Soft Bouba: Zoro, Vaseux, Shiozu, Shaumosh, Roinhar

Hard Bouba: Dragta, Jiagrob, Gachap, Docheud, Peotag

Soft Kiki: Seohir, Saifix, Leushis, Zihiosh, Rieshem

Hard Kiki: Daepid, Briagri, Taiprek, Begrek, Creokig

But I usually just let it mix them all: Diotefick, Ceupudrish, Fieloth, Tautrag, Fiovumi (Fieloth and Fiovumi would probably be my picks from this set)

And I also have a toggle for length: Stievobrasbi, Chisifaug, Greucradrap, Tiababrig, Ciograrebo

And a different generator that combines parts of speech (checkboxes to include/exclude parts of speech, various formatting options) IndependentlyIncludingSubjectiveDeck, DrasticallyExaminingSeriousShelf, ConsistentlyAdvocatingTiredHouse, UnusuallyEncouragingThinTrail, PainfullyRaisingFirmSource

I’m not a creative person name-wise, but it also doesn’t help that my parents main concern when choosing a name for me was what had the least ability to create a cruel nickname based on it but the problem is that it’s also basically impossible to make a cool nickname based on it either so I just have 0 attachment to the concept of a name.

probably gonna get shit on for not using a VPN for literally everything all the time but I didn’t realize that I was going to need to attach my terminal to a VPN to download that file! All that and I’m not even on the list as far as I can tell. I’m almost offended that I haven’t offended this person.

But The Sequel is AMAZING.
