Really does feel like I need to stop wasting my time with social media entirely and just go back to blogging; no matter where I run, eventually it all becomes Facebook and Twitter again.

Like, I know some of you think I'm being dramatic here; cool. But honestly I'm just looking at the tech we're using here and seeing that Zuck will win. It's literally not enough to just be on a sever that defederates Meta because not everyone I interact with will do so. And their servers will ship those interactions on to a company I think should be disbanded and its executives pushed onto an iceberg. I didn't sign up to make content for guys like Zuck, I came here to STOP doing that.

Furthermore, it IS a personal safety issue; if there's anything the past 10 years have taught me its that big tech companies are either expressly FOR fascism, or simply don't care either way. I write antifascist content, and I'm a trans anarchist. These are all things the world around me is trying to make CRIMINAL. I can see a very near future where having my content pushed to large tech companies, will actively make me a target of fascist pogroms. That's how this works. So... I'm at a loss.

@oceane I have no idea if Jorts is using it, I try not to bother my beleaguered admin here. Plus, as you implied, I'm not really sure it solves the problem. Afaict the only way to solve the problem is to defederate from servers that don't defederate from META which I can't really ask Jorts to do; it would not be reasonable.

Maybe it's time to go do something else, I dunno.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @tournesol (We're talking about defederating every server that federates with Threads, what's your take on this?)

@AnarchoNinaWrites Aaaand otherwise, maybe we could spin up a GoToSocial instance? For example they're developing a “slow federation” mode – whatever that means

@oceane @AnarchoNinaWrites not really really. It could be a cool project but maybe should be done on a specific server.

On my side, I’m really interested how meta will handle federation. I treat it as a test to see how secure we can really be

@AnarchoNinaWrites And I don't mean this to normalize the idea of developing microblog software on an insecure protocol. This was absolutely irresponsible and there's no excuse for this; I'd go so far as to say we're constantly discoursing over one guy and now other people are trying to develop less worse microblogging solutions, as an escape
