we've become this tech illiterate to not understand the possibility of mastodon being a option.

Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.
"we're not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we'll keep hanging out in both."
Of course they don't mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
I thought they were the same bar
Does this belong in technology?
Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You've posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.
Articles about this will continue to be posted until moral improves
Strong shill op for blue sky is underway no doubt, i can't tell if it is organic since they are getting large user inflows or jay graber is funding these endless fake news headlines.
we will never know... but we do know that corpos love them shill ops to gain market share.
Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.
Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.
Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):
IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.
If you're proposing that front end devs literally provide an optional field for those with the time and motivation to curate their feed programmatically with some kind of query language, that's god damn brilliant, and would persuade me to use an otherwise feature–lacking but decently polished client over any other.
Yes.
I'd also want a standard, so that it wouldn't be monopolized into one bigger platform, like with GMail.
And probably servers should have some kind of zero-knowledge protection, so that such a client-side filter would be the only one applied to the information. Maybe with ability to subscribe to filters published by someone else, of course, or kill lists, but always preserving transparency and choice.
EDIT:
I think NOSTR is kinda similar, only it has public keys as identities, just so. In general its cryptographic mechanisms are used as intended, but in a very ancient way. It's too simplistic.
New Freenet (Locutus), I think, is going to be a platform where one can make such an application and a thousand others.
I DISAGREE with you. YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER AN EPIC DEBATE TO THE DEATH WITH ME BECAUSE REACHING A CONSENSUS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INTERET!!!!!!!!
(((((((((((((((((/s (in case it wasn't obvious))))))))))))))))))
The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you're comfortable with.
just say X-odus
do terfs support maternity leave?
Probably for themselves only.
Can we stop using the term "TERF"? It doesn't mean anything at this point. The transphobic assholes on X certainly aren't radical feminists.
The issue with the term is that radical feminism is transphobic by definition so why specify "trans exclusionary"
Excluding trans folk is what makes these specific feminists radical. Their beliefs, otherwise, are fairly mainstream feminist.
We need to make FARTs - Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes - stick instead
Excellent
OMG I have to use that.
What is a TERF?
A "feminist" that claims to support gender equality, but thinks trans folk should diaf.
Trans Excluding Radical Feminist. It's a rabbit hole and it's not much fun past the first 100 meters.
