i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

i don’t expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.

the aggrieved attitude of “but i am a socialist” is really adorable.

(it’s programming dot dev again, isn’t it?)

the problem is that you post things here, though i guess that by the time i’m commenting it has been alleviated.

oh dear, how sad, nevermind.

precisely my point.

stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

…and that’s one of the dudes personally invited to the site by its main moderator (see, the public invite trees can be useful sometimes).

there’s this lovely nostalgic thread by the very dude working for baikal, and you can play the game “spot the serb in the thread without looking at the names”.

ironic eugenics is genocidal the same way

there is no unobjectionable eugenics

tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he’s a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

and even with these caveats, it’s a pretty damning piece, even if every other careful reader is probably aware that siskind engages in whitewashing scientific racism and white supremacy for fucking decades.

…or just use the qrencode’s -t ANSI256 or -t ANSI256UTF8 output format and read your qr code directly from terminal.

oh, it’s like russia’s idea of ukrainian and belarussian. fucking orphans of the empires…

and perhaps a little bow to lem’s “cyberiad” (automateusz, translated as automatthew, from the story automatthew’s friend)

whee, i missed that one completely. it seems that some over-eager hachyderm mod suspended @dgerard@awful.systems 's account. nothing that can be done on our side. (unfortunately i don’t have a backchannel to the hachyderm mods).

thank you, that’s perfectly awful :-)

wanted to emulate bene gesserit, ended doing bene tleilax

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

• i didn’t think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
• if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it’s perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
• i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
• and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master’s tools to bring down the master’s house.
