Something changed culturally between Usenet and the things that came after.

- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 2 months ago:
But the extent to which the fediverse seems to like to do this stuff just seems really extreme to me, and a lot of times what it’s based on is just weird petty bullying nonsense.
Not saying that it isn’t a problem, but as someone who’s been Around™ online, this is pretty par-for-the-course stuff.
Ah, to remember the glory days of Livejournal and Tumblr… and don’t get me started back in the days when every fandom had a dozen sites which all hated each other for vague and extremely personal reasons.

Nice feature!

Everyone involved in this, author included, seems to be batshit insane except for Eris?

I’m about halfway through.
I didn’t realize Mastodon was big enough for so much fucking drama.

In the long run, whitelisting may become the norm for federation instead of blacklisting.

I was just offered 500$ to be someone’s friend. Of course, I refused - my friendship is worth much more than that!
But it’s… concerning that we’ve got this sudden spike in spam.
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 3 months ago:
Crypto doesn’t really solve any of the problems that a payment processor wouldn’t also solve, unfortunately.

Real life. The offline world. Grassvile.
- Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea! 3 months ago:
I know that Federation is exciting, but all these ideas for federated services are really missing the reason why the Fediverse’s current bits are successful - because they have low moral hazard.
When you get into economics and meatspace relationships, moral hazard skyrockets.

I wouldn’t place any high value on what we’re doing here. At best, you should view this as bitching about the news at the local college-kid frequented coffeeshop. Yes, there is an element of raising awareness and discussion - it’s not useless, but ultimately, it’s not going to play a major role in getting us out of this shitshow. We’re discussing matters because it brings us some relief to do so, first and foremost.

- Comment on I know 2026 will suck already, so I am rooting for 2027 to be rad as fuck! 3 months ago:
There are a ton of different year calendars. The BCE/AD calendar is very much a Western/Western-derived thing, stemming from a Catholic Christian estimation. It’s convenient, because it got widespread, but it’s only one system of many.
Many ancient systems judged the date by the regnal year of the ruler, ie “Third year of the rule of Agum the Third”. It’s much less convenient for figuring out when something happened than systems that continuously count from a single starting year, but exact chronologies were less important for most people.

I’ve probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO
Same. On topics on than Romeposting™ I’d love to go back to being a lurker and only an occasional contributor. I imagine it’ll be a while before that day comes, though.

The continuous US states are 8,080,460 square kilometres.
Europe is 10,186,000 square kilometres.
In what world is that “not far off”?

We have vacation days?

“all of Europe could fit inside the 48 continental states alone” - are you sure about that, fam?
Not far off.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 6 months ago:
It might be. Only time, and the actions of Americans themselves, will tell.
It’s the biggest crisis in my lifetime. But we have survived other crisises, some-fucking-how, so maybe we’ll luck our way out of this one too.
God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America.

- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 6 months ago:
Local manufacturing is politically advantageous and may employ some people at the same time, but that’s where benefits end.
There are legitimate strategic concerns with sourcing things long-term from potentially hostile states.
Europe should absolutely take advantage of current Chinese production to improve their own green energy efforts, but looking into local production is not just a ‘for-show’ move. As sanctions on Russia show, dependence on markets that can potentially turn hostile can be very damaging.
