  • we don’t have enough activity for a thriving community on our own, so we have to pick-and-choose who we federate with. Too closed and the community dies.

    Language is a funny thing - at least we can fall back on the Triarii!

  • The Israeli propaganda campaign for the past 70 years, and its intensified positioned in the past 40 years, has been... very successful. Especially since foreign affairs aren't of great interest to most Americans to begin with.

  • Hopeful news!

  • Like I said, it wasn't necessarily meant as a request to you specifically so much as an open-ended grouse. But I definitely legitimately appreciate that you take the issue seriously.

    Hopefully, Piefed will be the future of the Fediverse.

    Rule of the jungle

  • Oh sure, that’s why the announcement is about looking for someone to take over.

    Most people would not presume that there's someone waiting in the wings willing to take up a thankless job and pay a regular fee for the privilege over a small hobby project.

    1. I greatly prefer not interacting with these shitheads at all. As far as I'm concerned, these troglodytes are welcome to their hole. If I was offered "Never get another MoG-worthy screenshot again, but you also don't deal with MoG-worthy shite on comms where decent human beings freqeunt", I'd accept it in a heartbeat. I don't go to tankietown without an extraordinary reason, in the same way that I don't go to Stormfront. I don't even want to go to observe the animals, man, not even as a lark. Not for any concentrated period of time. I just want them to stop shitting all over my floor. A half-disbelieving scoff at an occasional screenshot in MoG is about all I can muster. I have enough fascism to fight in my life without adding these red-painted ghouls.

    2. I can grab stuff off Lemmy ez.

    3. It's less a plea to you specifically and more an open-ended grouse about tankies being treated with kid gloves by nearly everyone here due to the influence of the Lemmy devs, and the recurring fear of getting shafted in support if you oppose their grotesque ideology.

    Israelis No Longer Ahead in Americans' Middle East Sympathies

    1. I didn't even realize that was a designation.

    2. Holy fucking shit, under THIS administration, which has been loud and proud about wrongful detention??

  • I'm not disputing that it's desirable to acquire the server and perpetuate it over starting a new one, my point is only that the admin no longer being able to hold up the burden is hardly an act of spite.

    And “fuck yourselves” is explicitly how several websites I care about have disappeared.

    Okay, but as I said, that's hardly the tone or implication here.

  • I mean there may be legal questions about transferring ownership.

    As for price, the question then arises - who is offering to pay for it?

    Maybe if you reach out to the admin, they'd be happy to transfer it to you. I don't know how these things work or the admin's opinions. But the admin saying "It's been good guys, but it's too expensive and not what I hoped for, so I'll keep it up for this last lease period and then let it go" is hardly a declaration of "Go fuck yourselves, I'm just burning everything down"

  • There may be legal questions, but also, they mentioned that the price of keeping it running was a factor.

  • I legitimately think that a relatively small but overwhelmingly leftist proportion of the userbase leaving had a very negative effect both on actual discourse, and on what third-parties find productive to push there.

  • The Fediverse has its flaws, but it's also better than the alternatives.

    Such is human existence - seeking improvements, never finding utopia.

  • Some poor judgement from admins, essentially, combined with... ambiguous policies.

    It's not something like "Holocaust denial", but a big kerfluffle with them refusing to remove a particularly bad mod, and especially pussyfooting around the issue for the longest time, giving contradictory or vague answers as to what they were doing, has damaged faith in the admins pretty severely, and it'll take time for them to win it back - assuming they do so.

  • lmao, he still salty. Don't know why he thinks I misgendered him, unless he has some pretty deeply rooted sexist ideas about language that he needs to shed. :)

    And 'sexual harassment' for facetiously saying that someone who is obsessed is in love with the target of their obsession? And that I'm obsessed for noticing someone else pinging me unprompted? lmao

    The rest is just Holodomor apologia, unsurprisingly. Anything to get their genocide-denying red-painted Nazi rocks off.

    After getting an unprompted ping from a tankie, I searched my name, and phew. Looks like they still love me!

    Fediverse's most tedious tankie lies about a very simple meme, denies that Soviet apologists play apologia for ethnic cleansing, then plays apologist for ethnic cleansing
