I don't think the #Fediverse needs to replicate "the Facebook experience" in order to dethrone it. I think mimicing #Facebook leads to #ReactOS syndrome: where you're chasing a moving target that has far more resources than you do, so you get farther behind every year. -

!gnusocial Someone is having trouble getting #webfinger going. https://is.gd/iryYac ... Does anyone have any ideas what the issue might be? -

@devurandom @USBloveDog It doesn't work like that. Every time someone adds something to the left-approved beliefs list, the whole movement has to revoke their previously-stated beliefs, purge those who don't do so, and lose momentum. -

@1iceloops123 Again, the problem is that Gabholes say things that get the site kicked off of app stores and hosting. They think that adopting Mastodon will get around app store bans, but they are wrong. Google and Apple WILL tell fediverse app devs to block Gab or be banned.
.
This isn't the hill to die on. Gab is intentionally bring the rest of us into their cesspool. They aren't doing it because they care about principles or federation. They are merely trying to use us as "human shields". -

@kaniini groups, polls, blog posts, bookmarks have all been available over OStatus for years. At least acknowledge that it has been doing these things when you shill for its inferior successor. -

I don't want Facebook, et al to die. I want them to become as irrelevant as MySpace and Friendster. I want people to log in once or twice a year, look around and say to themselves "why did I ever like this site?". -

As always, you only get legal advice by hiring a real lawyer, so don't depend on anyone else's opinions of what a law means. -

CDA -- opinion of someone that claims to be a lawyer (not me) -- https://www.socalinternetlawyer.com/user-generated-content-legal-issues/ [socal internet lawyer . com]
"Generally speaking, a site is not liable for user-generated content. Sites like Yelp, Facebook and Google+ would be unable to function if this were the case. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides the protection and reads in part:
'No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.'
If a site is not a publisher, then claims such ranging from defamation to slander cannot be asserted against it."
Further down, the author discusses some exceptions. -

@jmgresham Please stop sending off-topic posts to the !fediverse group. You may be able to find or create another group where these posts are on-topic. -

Two things I've done that have really helped me mentally and emotionally:
(1) Avoid the news. Not entirely avoid (as if that were possible), but don't seek it out on my own as often.
(2) Unsubscribe from prolific politics-posters (there's nothing wrong with an occasional political discussion, but some people are obsessive about it) and disconnect from personal contacts who continually push politics into my awareness. -

You can talk all day about how much someone needs assistance, but until you dirty your hands helping, you're just jawing. -

@moonman @clacke@librenet.de I have learned that many times, these kinds of statements are not accompanied by individual action & sacrifice. If someone is bothered that someone else sent money to rebuild Notre Dame, but not to help people affected by another fire, the first somebody should send money / food / clothing / building supplies to those people before that somebody starts complaining that someone else did not.
Enough talk. Shut up and act sacrificially. -

The less tolerant we are of contrasting opinions, the more that #corpocentric networks benefit from throwing together clashing views to generate "engagement". When it is okay for people to have views that disagree with mine, I'm less likely to get in online shouting matches and generate extra advertising revenue for those companies. -

Centralized ( #Corpocentric ) networks have centralized costs, so there will always be pressure on the central organization that controls the network to bring in more money. More users; more equipment & network bandwidth; more advertising revenue, more employees; more (higher) salaries; more (higher) dividends to stockholders; ... oops, we need more users to justify all this spending.
There are definitely costs to #DecentraLife, and I don't think we talk about that enough, but from my perspective, even spread over the whole #Fediverse, the cost/benefit ratio is still superior to the corpocentric networks. -

The attacker is still "in" #MatrixDotOrg. See https://nu.federati.net/file/8a9635fac140a1ffed723e1b9b180ce223aea7e3430dddbb7990b88800d964c7.png -

@1iceloops123 I think of it this way: even if you never logged in again, someone could potentially log in as you and send undesirable content to your contacts. Or find your nudie pics. Or learn the pattern you use for usernames and passwords and take over your accounts on other sites. -

#Matrix.org and #Riot.im are down for emergency maintenance on their server infrastructure. There are other #Matrix homeservers, and this is a perfect time to disperse.
