@seanking Interesting. The only reason I can see is it could be considered impersonating someone. I'm not defending the decision, just trying to understand their reasons.

@Ox @lucy I think a lot of that depends on who you follow. I made the mistake of setting my Fediverse instance up to relay freespeechextremist. Pleroma is buggy so I can't undo that, now. As a result, my feed is full of 70-somethings railing about how we need to deport all the darkies. That'd be me.

I understand. I tend to self-identify in a similar way (left-leaning politically but pro-free-speech). That said, while I support free speech, I am under no delusions about it. Speech (free or otherwise) is usually quite stupid. Remove consequences and give people anonymity and it becomes even stupider. The Fediverse is something I dreamed of as a life-long free-speecher. A decentralized, censorship-proof distributed-system with almost no limits on speech and almost no ability to police that speech. Incredible. Now it's here and I can't stand the place most of the time. A bunch of geriatric children yelling "nigger kike faggot paki feminazi bitches" over and over again. Be careful what you wish for, as the saying goes.@Ox @lucy @alex @seanking

@Ox @lucy Re: showing your face, I can't agree more. Almost everyone I follow here shows their face. The ones hiding behind avatars are rarely worth anyone's time.

@alex I'm behind. What did you do that resulted in this spike?

@seanking I went serverless 4 years ago (AWS Lambda to be specific) and I find trying to duplicate their stack on my desktop is a waste of time. I gave up and went all in using Cloud9. I code in a browser now and love it.

@meowski Then you haven't been paying attention. Almost every leader of industry is a liberal, especially every major tech leader.

Why do they block your site, @alex? I don't follow all the drama. @valleyforge @farhan

@LawrenceRoberts Almost four years now and most of your nation is still a shitpit. And it's far more of a PC police state than it ever was under Obama. Have another koolaid.

@seanking interesting. Seems the Fediverse is less censor-proof than I had thought. @farhan @valleyforge

@freemo I have to admit, I tend to agree. I relayed Spinster after first seeing this thread and then deleted the relay after a few hours. I couldn't handle it. Toxic, negative, militant, man-hating vibe. I like Alex and I enjoy his Gleasonator site but I don't share his taste in Spinster. I don't agree with the block but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason had nothing to do with the Gab software.I still wish I could un-relay freespeechextremist but this buggy Pleroma stuff keeps erroring out when I try. I can un-relay any other site but not that one.@seanking @valleyforge @farhan @alex

@alex I realize you were probably joking but that's interesting. I wonder how much of my negative feeling about the fediverse comes from my using a dark theme. It's not easy for me to switch, though.

@judgedread I have no particular quarrel with you, Dread, but that, especially from you, is among the silliest things I've ever read. You live in fear more than anyone I've seen on this Fediverse. All WNs live in fear, generally, but you take it to a new level. You hide online in every imaginable way and even post about how you shouldn't use a smartphone for, well, FEAR of being traced. Your enemies (like me) post happily using our real names and real recent pics. We are fearless and empowered, watching you aging and often obese WNs post childish insults from the shadows, terrified that someone might learn your real name. And no, I don't care at all about your declarations that you will one day rise up and turn the tables.

@judgedread In truth, I don't care at all if you carry a Google spy device (a fair categorization, btw, although Apple and Huawei spy devices are no better). I just accept that the government sees everything I do and I take comfort that, since I'm on the side they agree with, I probably have nothing to fear for now. They see everything you do, too, btw, regardless of whether you carry a spy device. You're just making it a bit harder for them. Tracking you in Google Maps is not their only weapon.As far as thirsting for your death goes, that's silly. Anyone with even moderate intelligence can see that gene tech will soon make race a choice. Take a pill (or whatever form it comes in) and become black. Take another and become white. Take a third and become Chinese. Take a fourth and look like a two legged lion (or maybe even a four legged one as the tech advances). And I'm not just talking about skin color, I'm talking about bone structure and facial characteristics and hair and all other racial traits. Racism will not survive in a world where race is changed as easily as clothing.Most racists aren't very bright and I don't expect them to see that obvious outcome, but I often see you posting reasonably intelligent things about the future. I'd be surprised if you also lack the imagination to see it.

@lain I joined a few IPv6 groups a few years ago and then undertook to make my stuff work on v6. I changed a dozen sites, put some stuff behind Cloudfront, and even rewrote some code. Now everything works on v6. Nobody cares. I get almost no traffic on v6 and the tiny amount I get could all fail back to v4 if they needed to. Total waste of time.

@Locksmith @alex "create bad optics"? So he was pointing the gun at a bird or something and she walked in front of it in order to make him look bad?

@ThreeOneThreeChris @judgedread Feddylain@shitposter.club MisterRogersSnapped@kiwifarms.ccI'm late to this. I tend to forget the Fediverse exists. Anyway, it just occurred to me there might be a thread about Flake's flake-out and sure enough, here we are.@ThreeOneThreeChris, your synopsis was good but I'd note a few details. First, the libel suit that Will Williams brought against Covington was bullshit and Harold could easily have won it if he had simply stayed and fought. As the Greensboro Massacre showed us, however, when the going gets tough, Harold gets going, right out of town. He couldn't handle the pressure and ran, and Williams was awarded a default judgment when Tubby didn't show up at court.This is the first I've heard that Tubby's home in Texarkana (after fleeing NC) was a homeless shelter. I'm not sure if that's true. I saw photos of the building at the time and it had no markings to indicate that. It was certainly a disgusting hovel of a place either way. Tubby claimed to have gotten his first of a few jobs in tech support at that time but I have no way of knowing if that's true. I am surprised about the story about the state police being notified because, as far as I know, this was a civil (non-criminal) judgment. I don't know your system in the US but in most countries I'm familiar with, the police to not involve themselves in civil judgments. As a minor aside, this was possibly the lowest point of Harold's life. The photos I saw of him at that time showed a man well over 300 lb with brown smoker's teeth and unwashed clothing. Totally disgusting.Unlike you, I think Harold believed at least some of his revolutionary rhetoric, only because people have an amazing capacity to believe their own lies. He was certainly bright enough to see that nobody was joining and he could do the math about how impossible it would be to run an all-white society in a place where perhaps 50% of professionals were non-white, but he wanted so desperately to be that "Old Man" he wrote about that he would suspend disbelief, as all good fantasy games like the Bowel Movement require.Either way, Tubby's trip to the PNW was financed mainly by a single donor, a small town doctor who I won't name as I see no point in destroying him. That man remained Harold's main donor until his death, and was the primary reason Tubby was able to keep up his silly podcast for so many years. He quite literally paid Harold's rent. I am fairly certain (but not completely sure) that his donations dried up after Harold died. It is reasonable to assume that given that Flake wouldn't have flaked out if significant money was still coming in.After being outed, Flake lost his job at Amazon and that set him into a tailspin. I created a fake account on Gab and got him to confide in me a bit. His personal situation is disastrous. There was some silly talk on the final RFN about him now having the opportunity to start a family which made me chuckle a bit. Perhaps American women are obese enough and desperate enough to want to breed with his grotesquely fat self (see photos), but he wouldn't stand a chance in most of the rest of the world. My guess is that such talk is just bluster and he's in survival mode at this point, simply trying not to starve to death. I played no part in outing him, by the way, even though I could easily have done so many years before someone else finally did. It wasn't Axis Sally, either, at least according to what she tells me. I have no idea who finally decided to destroy him, or why he/she chose this time to do it.This chapter of the bowel movement is now drawing to a close. Kevin Strom is still trying to keep the NA alive and he's doing a far more professional job than Flake ever did, but nobody really cares anymore. Even if he ever did have some success, his child porn conviction would bring that success crashing down around him promptly. Will Williams isn't heard from much anymore and I'd expect he'll be the next of that generation to die. I'm glad he gave up his childish blood feud with Harold. I spoke to him on the phone a few times about 7 years ago and all he cared about back then was destroying Harold. It was right out of Les Miserables, a childish feud over nothing that destroyed both of their lives.Anyway, the fact that I'm writing this on the Fediverse goes to show how irrelevant we've all become, on all sides of the old war. Stormfront is a joke these days. Even the recent generation of WNs (Spencer, Milo, Cantwell et al.) have all been totally destroyed, not that I was ever really interested in them, anyway. It's just a bit sad that I waited so patiently for the Northwest Front to die and, now that it finally has, nobody cares. Not even me.
