I feel pretty strongly that instead of a star the like button on here should be a tiny purple heffalump that toots a rainbow or something out of their trunk when pressed.

@blaine Would someone reading this be willing to try explaining for non-devs what is meant here by we couldn't escape the users table? I have no clue what the users table at Twitter is (a database?) or how we would be not escaping it (not even a guess on that one). ☺️

@blaine Oh! I think I get it... My digital identity lives at my current instance, but if I want to join a different community I can move around to other instances with my same name (I think?). But with Twitter they own your handle and your follower lists, and you're either on their platform or not. You can see some Twitter accounts from logged out, but you can't interact logged out, nor cross interact from Tumblr or Insta.So federation is solving identity by letting it not exist in a silo?

@Fleurcode @kweerious @ssfckdt @BlackAzizAnansi Fleur, I do not feel like you heard what Kweerious just said. This is about listening. What can be done is the listening many times. Black people have every right in the world to express discontent with a world that is repeatedly violent toward them. Unwitting or not, it is an act of aggression to demand Black people posit a solution for someone else's irrational violence. White people have to hold each other accountable. That's it.

@Fleurcode @kweerious @ssfckdt @BlackAzizAnansi That is my interpretation, but I am open to the idea I have no idea what I am talking about and am misguided...

@CliffWade I've become more active on reddit and fb post-Twitter than I am on Mastodon though so I can't be too smug about it. Still find less quantity but more quality here.

@shrikant @aurynn I am also in camp somewhat disagree. While I think the amount of info advertisers track is excessive and invasive and I don't doubt there are security issues, the alternative to ad model business is that literally everything is a SaaS and I am not wealthy enough to pretend that is fine with me. To some extent advertising subsidizes all the variety of services we all enjoy.
