       @justinling "4chan was funded by a toy company?"huh, that's surprising.*reads more*."4chan was funded by a toy company that sells scantily-clad statues of big-busted waifus for nerds."That makes sense.

       @lproven None of these sound like "doomed".  They're problems to surmount, not impossible barriers.Instance is too expensive to run?  Contribute PRs to reduce the hardware costs and improve performance, run paid instances, take on ad-support, like any other software.Instances are too silo'd? Add feature to allow users to post into and follow the "local" feed of a different instance.  As a "mastodon.social" user, why not let me post into and follow the "hackyderm.io" main feed like a hashtag?

       @anderspuck Yeah, Twitter is still very active, but it's now pure poast.  Content-free ranting and flame.  I'm disappointed that so few of the big players have left though.  Not judging them -- it's both addictive and important for their careers.  But still unfortunate.

       Following up on the insanity that a Ukrainian SS soldier, a guy who fought for Nazi Germany, was given a standing ovation in the House on Friday:https://www.baytoday.ca/local-news/rota-under-fire-for-honouring-a-north-bay-resident-with-nazi-ties-7592368Looks like Anthony Rota, Speaker for the House, has apologised for inviting him.  He is possibly is the dumbest man in the history of stupid.And can the LPC go five steps without their own poop dribbling out of their pant-legs? How did nobody catch this beforehand?  Telford? Trudeau? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs?#capoli

       Happy Friday the 13th.  It is now exactly 1 year until AOC is legally old enough to run for President of the USA.I keep wondering if I should make one of those "birthday countdown" sites for her like creeps used to make for teen-stars like the Olsens or Emma Watson, or if that would be in too bad taste.

       @Wolven My opinion on why Mastodon gets so much drama:1) Longer toots means more exhausting replies.2) Few tools to bully bad-actors - hidden reply-likes, no reply-like notifications, no downvote, replies have hyper-low visibility, no QTs.  Bullying is bad generally, but sometimes needed.3) Fundamentally, part of the reason we're here is that governance matters.  Sometimes governance is inherently messy.

       @brewsterkahle I always say: the problem with Python 3 isn't that they broke too much backwards compatibility, it's that they didn't break enough.  P3 should've been the moment where they locked down and standardized the API so that PyPy and the like could become first-class citizens.Also should've been the time to come up with a coherent multi-threading story.

       @ErikUden small ebook sellers do sell drm-unencumbered ebooks but they're very rare.It's very frustrating since music and podcasts are on open standards where the buyer's rights are protected, and yet ebooks are still wrapped up in nonsense.

       @TechConnectify have you filed any of this in the GitHub repo?  Talked to Gargron about it?
