Well isn't really wrong. and his gang of criminals are perhaps the most dangerous the has faced yet since . Worse than the Japanese in (which funnily enough is the same territory the Duterte clan has firm control of, like a fiefdom). But instead of working for the Japanese invaders they're working for the communists this time.

The main collaborators being officials within leadership isn't really surprising either, because Duterte pampered the so hard (for example promising not to hold them accountable for clear-cut abuses of power in the drug war) during his 6-year rule.

It seems like ' strengthening of the alliance with the has convinced the not to defect to the Dutertes though. The Philippine is rabidly pro-American and Duterte had a hard time trying to balance having a pro- policy and appeasing the soldiers. ​:seija_coffee:​

Ok but how is restricting antiethical to ? If anything it arguably is the opposite because it seems like the Israeli people wanted banned within their country. The Israeli government is just following the will of their people. If that's not damn democracy then I don't know what else it is.

I do think it's bad for AJ to be banned. My brother used to be a for Reuters and therefore I tend to have a soft spot for international reporting. But selfishness aside in a war like this it is ever more important for people to be getting different perspectives from established media, and that includes AJ. It keeps governments in check.

Just admit it. If the US banned newspapers like NYT or Times of Israel you probably wouldn't care as much as you do for AJ. You're not for freedom of the ; just the press that agrees with you. ​:seija_coffee:​

@chris

oh so by your logic if the majority of people don't like tomorrow's newspaper then the newspaper should be banned.

Yes, if I'm a democrat. (And I'm not, and I will always be against democracies whatever form they manifest, whether the liberal ones in the West, the "dictatorship of the proletariat" in the DPRK, China, or Cuba, the communualists and "direct democrats" in Rojava, or the fascists in Italy during the 30s.)> That's not proper democracy, that's tyranny of the majority.

It may not be "proper". But who cares. Socialists have been calling each other the "fake" kind of socialism. But it's still socialism. Same case with your "proper" and their "improper" democracy.

And yes democracy is tyranny of the majority.> There is a reason why a Free Press is considered a foundation or a separate pillar of a democratic, free, society

I agree that it is an important foundation of free societies. Democratic ones? Not necessarily.

    @youronlyone I don't think they can force the rest of fedi to implement controls on quotes. I do think it's a bad idea to control who can quote post no matter if it's Mastodon or Threads doing it (or even Misskey). But it's just going to be circumvented/ignored easily, like how Masto's "opt-in search" has no effect on Misskey's note search per user.

    What fedi really should focus on is controlling replies. And while I have reservations on federating that control, I do believe it's important to give users the power to control how their posts look like in their own instances without having admin privileges. Because it's a (micro)blog.

    mima OP ,

    @laxla There was an experiment by the lead dev which tried to make migration of an instance from Mastodon to Sharkey possible. It got abandoned however.

    I think this idea of migration from a whole different AP family should be revisited, but with a Pleroma instead. Pleroma already has a Mastodon FE and the whole Mastodon API implemented (with extensions to support custom emoji reactions and others), plus a very flexible moderation and filtering system (MRF). If there's an AP family best fit for migrating from Mastodon, this is probably it imo. ​:sagume_think:​

    The is just full of smartasses really, they thought that by moving classes in 2020 to August they can minimize the disruption in education brought by .

    It did minimize it alright, but only for 2020 and 2021. Eventually we will have to return to face-to-face classes, which we did starting 2022 IIRC. Their hubris in keeping children in classes no matter what didn't make them think that we are a tropical country; that their foresight-less act means there will still be classes in April and May, the hottest months in this climate. They're now forced to move it back to June which they will have to do gradually. This brings more disruption as it means students will only get a one-month long vacation instead of the usual two, and the moving schedules mean planning school events far ahead become less certain.

    I think the and federations pose interesting questions about what platforms can and should be.

    Do we actually want blogs and feeds of blogs folded into a mastodon/microblog social feed?

    Do we want to read and comment on blogs on mastodon?

    Do we want all the diversity of the fediverse fed into a single platform's UI and hope that it works well?

    Are we worried that some choices by our platform or instance admin might hinder this process?

    I'm rather skeptical.

    mima ,

    @maegul

    I think the fedi needs to be more about clients/apps than it is currently.

    Agreed, and I kinda touched on this earlier about how the should've simply been a frontend where people just use their main fedi account instead of having to create another account for forums in a link aggregator... ​:sagume_think:​

    Tbh all the implementations in the first place should've been backends first and foremost. Why should I not be able to have 's frontend in or ? And the other way around too. This does mean that we will have to all agree on a common client API and MastoAPI will dominate, but I'd rather have Mastodon dictate client API than fediverse implementations. ​:seija_coffee:​

    RE: https://makai.chaotic.ninja/notes/9s85trbv7h

    mima ,

    @aliceif Perhaps. But GoToSocial seems to be doing alright where it's basically just backend and very minimal logged-out and admin frontends. And IIRC, Pleroma only did that separation very late in its development instead of from the beginning, so that one might be a factor.

    But it might be too late indeed. Maybe the best we can do right now is try to limit the differences between the microblog fediverse implementations and cut down on the non-microblog ones like Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed, and Bookwyrm, instead making those ones client-only. ​:sagume_think:​

    What a bizarre conversation. OP claimed that the Palestinian Authority is not related to the State of Palestine using as a source, then I pointed out that the president of the PA and SoP are the same, and even Wikipedia says that the PA has pretty much become synonymous with the Palestinian state in 2013 when the PA has directed that all official documents it produced is to be marked under the name "State of Palestine". Then he (yes I checked) accused me of not supporting Palestinian statehood "based on my attitude towards the PA" without any receipts.. and I have never said anything of that sort here? ​:SanaeConfuzzled:​ And of course me so I couldn't reply (or even quote post). ​:reimu_sigh:​

    There's now a decent measurement of user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) ...

    They've got about 1.6M MAUs ...
    & 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

    That's not nothing!

    Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

    Bluesky is quite "international" with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there's real attrition happening IMO.

    PSA: Since Threads apparently will be federating replies soon, I thought I should post this again, because there's still a lot of people that don't know.

    When a normal user uses "block this domain" it's LITERALLY just a MUTE. The blocked server can still see, interact, and reply to your posts, you just won't be able to see them.

    It's kinda like sitting in a room with hungry bears while wearing a blindfold. If you're scared of hungry bears, your best bet is to get out of the room, not put a blindfold on. And by this, I simply mean to migrate to an instance where the blocks are up to your standard on the "instance" level.

    Stay informed and make informed decisions, no matter what you choose to do with your Fediverse presence.

    @BeAware is definitely a proprietary extension to by . First added in 2019: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/11269

    The main reason other AP implementations have added it (or in the case of , made signing objects enabled by default which was a reluctant decision) as well despite Authorized Fetch / not being documented in the spec is that plenty of big have enabled it for their instances thinking it will prevent harassment from instances they've blocked (despite the fact that AF is purely ), forcing the rest of the to adopt it to remain compatible. Even at the cost of performance (no more caching).

    This is plain ol' or for short against AP and the fedi by the Mastodon monopoly, and nobody wants to talk about it because it undermines the narrative a lot of Mastodon admins are putting out to justify their fediblocking of . Would've been fine if they focused on the (real) harms did to Burma for example, that's a totally fine reason to block FB. But screaming EEE just makes me roll my eyes on their . ​:seija_coffee:​

    and didn't kill / . They hammered the final nails of its coffin. Big difference.

    The lesson of the XMPP story is that the community shouldn't get complacent just because a big corp is now backing them, support their own smaller developers through any means they can (whether financial or code), put out a unique thing every now and then, and make sure the UX is not horrible for new users. I think , , and got those lessons right (especially the very latter, UX was really horrible in XMPP back then and I think that's what "killed" it if you can even call it that). Not sure about though. Maybe that's what why almost all of the worry I'm hearing about comes predominantly from Mastodon and Mastodon-compatible (in the sense they try to be as compatible with Masto as possible in terms of API) instances. ​:seija_coffee:​

    Actually I can't really bash for this (as much as I'd want to) because it seems like pretty much the rest of the has this problem of images not getting immediately removed from the server when you delete the image or even your account. I've tested with , , and (even Misskey somehow gets it wrong by not immediately making your image unavailable by the URL even if you've deleted it from your Drive, however this doesn't always happen, see below).

    Now I'm not sure about instance admin stuff (and I haven't tested with my admin hat on in this Misskey), but I'm guessing you don't have a view of all uploaded photos by a user that an admin can delete from in Mastodon and Pleroma either (please prove me wrong though!). ​:sagume_think:​ Misskey does let you view all files uploaded by a user and delete from there, though I'm not sure if the file gets immediately removed from the server once you hit delete, but it's probably gonna be like what I'm going to write below

    What I do know about Misskey is that, if you've never accessed the URL generated for the file in your Drive, and hit delete, the next time you access it, it definitely will no longer be available; a pure 404 as expected. However if you've accessed the URL at least once, then the file will get cached. I'm not sure if it's Misskey doing this or the reverse proxy (like ), because clearing cache or switching to a whole 'nother browser still shows the file is available.

    Oh, and have I mentioned that all three software will automatically put your image into the server the moment you hit the upload button, even if you haven't submitted the post yet? Yeah it's equally as easy as Lemmy to accidentally upload something to those three as well.
