  So the weasel is why we live in the Biff timeline

  I got a better idea: a civil war against oligarchs

  I use Anubis on my personal website, not because I think anything I’ve written is important enough that companies would want to scrape it, but as a “fuck you” to those companies regardless

  That the bots are learning to get around it is disheartening, Anubis was a pain to setup and get running

  Just like when mastodon.social condemned Meta for their horrible moderation decisions and inability to act properly in the interest of its users, and said that the instance would be cutting ties/not federating with Threads, they kept on federating like nothing happened.

  I don’t believe anything coming out of mastodon.social unless I can see action being taken with my own two eyes.

  Also, blocking scrapers is very easy, and it has nothing to do with a robots.txt (which they ignore).

  Avowed was cool but not really worth the 70. I doubt TOW2 is worth 80, and specifically especially because Microsoft/ActiBlizzard is just following the Nintendo train, which is what everyone knew was going to happen with triple A studios.

  I was about to comment that #2 either has as raging boner or it’s just like that

  always gotta be that one person who posts the ai-generated sludge

  I actually just launched a PHPBB forum for specific interests in regards to the indie web, building websites, and sharing random banter (among a few other things). I find Reddit and Lemmy to be useful for seeing what’s going on in the world overall, and Discord has mostly just been annoying ever since its launch, and forums seem like a good answer to recreating actual communities. And if there are more people who feel this way, maybe they’ll make a comeback (because they definitely haven’t just started to be affected by corporations attempting to centralize everyone to one thing).

  The masses will either eventually migrate to ActivityPub, or have their entire digital lives consumed by oligarchs. It’s just a fight between finally deciding that maybe ease-of-use doesn’t mean “good,” and losing every ounce of your identity and ability to express your thoughts and feelings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s the kicker. Bluesky can never be meaningfully decentralized.

  Ah yes, “free our feeds” where millionaire VCs are asking for donations

  I mean, they’re going to have to. There’s no other choice at this point
