the whole masto art and wanker stux debacle once again shows that it's important for some kind of solution to come into being to explore fedi connections so you can move without accidentally losing friendsmastodon isn't crumbling but it sure has got these rock slides now and again

@batterpunts Mastodon is shit. A "social network" where for the crime of maybe attending a meeting where a hypothetical product that does not exist but if it did exist would actually get some people on this network to chat with who aren't hopeless Slashdot-reject nerds... just attending the meeting is a "crime" worth multiple days of screaming banshees making spittle-flecked angry rage-screams and multiple server admins fuck over all your users.

@batterpunts And God forbid you're someone like me who doesn't have any kind of beef with Facebook. Does my opinion matter? Will anybody listen to it? No.Instead it's a hundreds wailing banshees screaming about how "we" don't want Facebook, "we" think Facebook are fascists, "we" have all these insane conspiracy theories that Facebook is run by the CIA, etc.I'm on this network. Am I part of your "me"? Can I participant? No. Fuck you Blakeyrat.

@batterpunts And what about my own agency? Do I get to choose whether to talk to this hypothetical Facebook network or not? No. The server admin dictator has dictated that you may not! Fuck you Blakeyrat you have no agency.

@ML2 @batterpunts Uh ok? Where did anybody mention the Daily WTF forums? Since I haven't posted there in like 5 years that's not surprising.

@blakeyrat @batterpunts I have a memory that's inconveniently good at forever remembering things I see on the Internet. It's also really good at remembering things from books, but no one seems to care about those as much anymore. /j

@kinetix @batterpunts Any admin or any person at all, who removes my agency is being a dick to me. Sure maybe it's foolish to think that Mastodon admins with their little dictatorships wouldn't be dicks to me. Maybe I'm a naive polyanna. But I'd still like to be treated like an adult.As for a network with a billion people on it: GOOD! I WANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE! That's the point of a social network! I'm sick of talking to the humorless nerds who completely dominate the Fediverse now.

@kinetix @batterpunts You don't need to convince me Facebook is bad. I also think Facebook is bad.But guess what? I think dictator-like admins removing my agency as a human being is ALSO bad. Somehow each individual's ability to make their OWN decision never comes up in this debate.

@kinetix @batterpunts The conspiracy theories I've seen are "Facebook is going to put ads in your feed" (Really? By what mechanism?)Or Facebook is going to vacuum-up all your data! (Well, ok, but all this data is public NOW, so...)

@ML2 the good old forums🍮🥔 (or rather bad old? I don't miss weird modern webforums on weird software that has scrolling problems and a userbase that imo got worse over time)

@jellypotato Specifically a forum for a specific website. I recall seeing Blakeyrat in those forums years ago.(There was also a troll in the comments section of the blog, posting huge amounts of spam. I also remember that other guy, if only because I have no idea where on earth he got such a long scatological Pepe the Frog comic from.)

@jellypotato I didn't know that there was so much controversy around that forum's web design! I was only there briefly, mostly in relation to comments from the main site
