It's getting a bit nerve-wracking to self host stuff, but on the other hand I'm unsure if there's a better home for my presence.
Starnix seemed fine, but it seems people are peeved not at what actually happens, but by the fact that there is no overarching moderation in case of mild annoyances (that some could call harassment). I'm not there because "free zpeech my politic oponion!!!" as much as just to be in a place with no general topic or obligations.

2024-04-18 18:59:20

So there are no decent chat services.

2024-04-01 16:40:33

I now have like 600 megabytes worth of emojis on this instance all because I removed any whitelist checks from the EmojiStealer MRF

@npub1pqp…e753 I'd say it's not only AI; what prevents an average person who maybe knows what they're doing from generating a relatable personality, then later on using said personality to e.g. demand donations or otherwise unsavoury services from those who consider that (fabricated) personality a friend?
Of course, an AI with the aid of a person can do this type of thing effortlessly if it is unaware of its ethics.

2024-03-21 13:15:08

@npub1pqp…e753 by nature, personalities online are faceless names, effectively. Whether there's a person behind that name is irrelevant if we can't see it at all in reality, and that's how most personalities online are. Yet we are able to grow attachment and feelings toward those faceless names. I'm curious to know how or why that is possible.
(Not that I'm "immune" to that, I got manipulated a fair share of times in the past; it takes one to know one, I guess.)

2024-03-21 12:21:33

Seeing how well some people can somewhat "make up" personalities based on bouts of text and grow attraction to that fictitious person enough to want to defend them, makes me interested in seeing if social media contributes to schizophrenic behavior in a way.

2024-03-06 13:19:22

I think what made me click to the Fediverse was the simple option of seeing every single post. I think what makes me fucking despise Bluesky is that the only way to see new posts is very much like Twitter; have an algorithm that doesn't care about you forcefeed them.

2024-03-05 00:14:45

Why is it that posts from people I unfollow on this instance still federate, but someone who I followed, whose posts just didn't get through, now suddenly comes in right after I unfollowed them?
God dammit.

2024-03-03 03:53:54

I need to fiddle with my Windows XP VMs, try and get malware going, maybe add a Vista machine to the mix for newer malware.

OH GOD DAMMIT I WAS USING AN IOS ROUTER IMAGE AS A SWITCH

2024-02-21 02:39:06

Funny seeing instances defederate this one despite me not having actually broken any of their ToS rules.
Yet here we fucking are, all because a self-conscious overlord imposed a dogma that "I am part of the bad ones" and it refuses to man up and elaborate when I asked them to. (Seriously considering emailing them, it'll show I tried.)

@npub1f8l…7frq that actually can make sense, but why use Rust over other solutions?

@npub1f8l…7frq that, I remember from the times I was using a Quest in 2020 (before getting a Vive). The homebrew scene on Quest is amazing, sucks that they often don't care about PCVR though.

Wait, could one report them to Cloudflare for that? I'd imagine it depends on the severity of it all, but one could very well do so, no?

2024-01-28 20:54:47

- reply

@npub1d8y…g8p7 exactly what I need to do, the danger with self hosting is it impedes discoverability; how do I know who to follow next, or how do I make my presence more known?
Guess I'll stick to looking at other instances' timelines.

2024-01-28 18:33:35

It's very possible I've fucked up a bit by hosting my own instance, but I think this network is, again, just boring now, that or today feels really off.
Problem is, there's no other social network that makes more sense than this one. Maybe a hiatus could make sense.

2024-01-27 20:11:11

I'm probably just getting fed up a bit with the "alt fedi" mentality on my timeline, it's just not what I mentally adhere to.

@npub1f8l…7frq the only thing I remember about the first season was that it sucked, it wasn't really Halo, and all you could hear were Master Chief's loud ass clunky footsteps.

I have this distinct feeling that Halo (tv series) season 2 is gonna suck just like the first season.

Folks, the Tachiyomi fork "Mihon" no longer requires a Discord account to actually use. They seem to also be on GitHub and on their self hosted Gitea instance.

2024-01-13 17:59:47

I'm starting to see less threads federate on this instance, like I can see what someone I followed replied, but not the parent post.

2024-01-13 01:10:56

I sincerely hope no one assumes this instance is a right-wing fascist instance just because "right mouse click, zomg right!! right wing!!!!!"

That pedo instance that got a bit of attention earlier today host their services on what seems to be Cloudflare. (which is all the more reason to doubt the admin's claim of "being a minor")
Cloudflare appears to be against CSAM.

@npub1d8y…g8p7 Steam Remote Play makes gaming work flawlessly even on Linux, Parsec is a fantastic remote desktop solution for Windows, these are simply solved problems. All that's left is for someone to combine them into a thing that can work on Linux.
I agree that certain things are best left outside of that realm, but some things would quite simply make sense that way, or maybe you're running out and about on some shittertin laptop.

@npub1sqr…qs4m
Speaking for myself, I appreciate the clarification and short explanation, as otherwise this can be perceived quite simply as an attack with no true proper reason.
One question, though. Yes, I acknowledge that information on my instance is public and I do not intend to intensely restrict access to it (as there is quite simply no good reason or way to do so without extensive compromises), but this does not explain why the bot needs access to either the public timelines or specific user accounts if it is just searching the vaguely-identified "content moderation policies." For convenience, I'm not going to question the relevance or possibility of moderation in a federated network, as it's quite simply irrelevant right now.
There is a lot of ambiguity in that regard so rather than making assumptions, I'd rather ask: what's up with that? How is the information there relevant? (and also, why are single-user instances, like mine, that only have very few users, relevant to this as well, and is there a way to opt out?)

@npub1f8l…7frq Pleroma and Nginx, as well as a firewall. There might be other things but I don't exactly recall; not that they'd be demanding or important regardless.
What's weird is that it's able to run those without a problem (my Pleroma instance feels responsive), just some stuff like SSH logins, launching certain programs, running Neofetch or even just doing a "systemctl status" takes a while.

@npub1j4p…z0qp I think my worst issue with that one is not that it's an opinion, but that they usually insist that it's "so much more" than merely rehashed thoughts already recited many times prior, and make it out to be "everyone's problem".
And, quite simply, the quantity of it all. If it's not unsolicited and unmarked NSFW content, or art with no meaning or purpose, it's this.

2023-11-12 18:22:06

Now that I think about Bluesky, the biggest problem isn't that factually, it's a copy-paste idea that the Fediverse already maturely implemented.
It's the community; the website itself emphasizes on its own Discover feeds, and to me, I hate it. It displays the same engagement/enragement that I left many communities for, and it passes off old ideologies as new things.
If there were new, more fresh feeds that are all-round more positive, then I could actually see myself liking it more. Instead, no, the Fediverse is where it's at for now,

2023-09-19 23:13:03

- reply

@npub1p5q…q5r0 A bad definition, I admit. Another term could be "alt fedi".
I'm generally meaning the more political, unconventional side of the Fediverse. I think less about that when I'm, as one could say, "happy", I guess.

2023-09-19 23:10:42

I only tread or think like the "darker" side of the Fediverse when I'm pissed. When I'm having a decent time I'm just happy, not really thinking about that side.
Man, I must be a pretty pissed person overall, huh.
