Well that didn’t take long. I had hope for like what… two days?

Of course I happen to be braising short ribs for dinner tonight. Damn.

Every religion is.

I’m thinking that unless they also add a program to give low income Chicagoans bicycles, we’re going to see a crime wave. Just sayin’

they could make their own custom version of the fediverse, slowly diverging from the core open source version, then push the actual fediverse into obscurity, the same way Google Chat killed XMPP. Imagine a new Meta-controlled “fediverse” where you can only have an instance if you use their code and their rules.

I think that the whole point of federation is that you, the end user, have the option of choosing where you want to go. You want to use those other instances, nobody is stopping you. You can actually use as many as you want. The instance owner gets to choose what is displayed on their instance, and that’s OK as well. You even have the option of making your very own instance and displaying everything from everywhere. Nobody is dictating what you can or can’t see. They’re just choosing not to be the ones to show it to you.

I signed up for another one, but they haven’t approved me yet!
