psst. It’s the federation.

What a bizarre thing to think.

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

A true poet!

This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

I’ve been surprised to find that females in my circle consider dude gender neutral.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

I recently had a Kona loaner with that. It was so dumb.

Thank you, I did not know that.

There’s an enforcement component. It’s designed to punish the producer so it hurts so it won’t do it again.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.

Judge Dredd, obvi.

Many moons ago I used heartbeat for this, but you’d need both servers in the same cidr range. I assume that’s not the case here.

In your case you could probably use a dynamic DNS service to move the IP around, but the challenge would be knowing when to kick it off.

You could write scripts to determine when the live one goes down, but we’re probably already more complicated than you were looking for.

Oddly specific

It’s a very generational question. Like, many of the cartoons I watched as a kid would definitely be considered crazy today (and racist, misogynistic, murderous, etc.) but at the time were typical.

I use Thunder on iOS and it says it’s available for Android too. It has filters and I have them set to exclude just about any word I can think of that has to do with US politics. I haven’t seen a post about that yet so I assume it’s working.

Federated DNA data storage service. My bad.

That’s LLM bullshit, sir.

You never really think there’s people behind these things.
