i think using activitypub on one's own instance might start to be a similar social signal to using email on one's own domain; using the big public servers are the equivalent of an aol.com or cox.net email

i think i might start keeping a log of how many times each day people make objectively inaccurate statements about me, my beliefs, my intentions, or my actions.

ios 13.3 out today, hopefully it fixes the remaining obtrusive jank in 13.x

if email services took the same approach to defederation as activitypub admins, pretty much every single email server would have to blacklist sending to/from gmail.com, as it hosts more nazis than any other email server in the world

Either you're the master of your own domain (lol) and you get final authority over who you federate with or don't, or other people are at fault for mentioning you. Can't be both.

Preventatively prohibiting your users from communicating with others by the thousands simply on account of their home instance is incompatible with the belief that someone else is in the wrong for replying to your threads.

it seems like a bug in when i click a user (on my own instance) and it doesn't show their followers or followings, but then when i go to their profile on their home instance, all that info is public.

learning how to attack your own arguments is a key skill to learn if you want to produce arguments that dont suck ass

webassembly is going to be bad for the web; it's just going to further the web down the road toward unhackability where user-agents are just runtimes for the content applications (like on mobile) where you can't inspect or edit or change anything, eventually just using your cpu to run an entire copy-protected DRM'd rendering OS that does exactly what the content owner wants and nothing more or less

we aren't addicted to services; we just really like human connection and tech companies are devilishly desperate to monopolize that experience

Some people try to steer every argument into "do you like me or don't you" in a way that's all about changing the subject. They'll also try to change the discussion into "who was mean first and therefore bad."
