I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.

Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Wasn’t it hosted in Finland? Or have things changed?

I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I’m going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.

I’m 23

Not being bri’ish

Just kidding, I’m neither lol

Enshittification is fueled by normies NEVER LEARNING.

if you’re on Android just use xManager

That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌

Nutjobs should just be ignored, as much as I dislike leftists Meta is an actual massive threat to Fedi.

There was a project called Yacy but it clearly never took off.

just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.

97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2

97% chance of being EEE. Suddenly everyone will be coming to the Fediverse but not because they’re interested but to talk to people on Threads. Then they’re going to deviate from the AP spec slowly and become the de facto standard and so on. Or they’re going to pull a Google Chat.

On the “enlightened” platforms you have no such possiblity. I can’t stress enough the importance of a strong copyleft license for most important software you use.

most of stack overflow, IT subreddits and SEO content farms that regurgitate stack overflow data summed up in two sentences.

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

‘Hey trader, please open up to non-buddies temporarily, even at a crippled speed. I’d like two items from you. You know Soulseek is a sharing platform, right?’

Will try it, thanks. Seems more civilized.

Don’t stoop to their level by blacklisting, either. They will take that as endorsement of their behaviour. (Set 20kb/s down if it makes you feel better.)

Thanks for the tip. That seems like a better punishment.

Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.

Somewhere in countries that don’t respect American copyright like Iran

The next closest one is the only one open in Atlanta and it’s exploding heads.
