Alex Gleason | The thing about putting yourself out there is that it opens you up to criticism. If you never put yourself out there you'll never be shot down. But you'll also never be heard. I have a few loud critics and a lot of silent supporters. I think this is often how it goes. | 04:00:43 |

Cur_固嚛訥 | mentioning mastodon banned you, reminds me wikipedia indefinitely blocked me.

At first very crushing, as felt very idealistic about wikipedia. Now I've decided to wear the block as a badge of honor.

Cur_固嚛訥 | I like editing my posts too much.
I need to learn JS so I can add the feature. | 06:04:38 |

Cur_固嚛訥 | Mary Kate: programming environments may very well evolve into more elegant/learnable.
Look at projects such as Urbit.
one day everyone will need to know programming.

M. K. | I think that's probably true. ^ Yet we also know that there are people in this world who still can't even read ... I'm not optimistic that the need will actually be met. | 13:02:56 |

Alex Gleason | I'm going to just delete my account from that server so they leave him alone | 18:57:58 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | mastadon no longer receives from gnu social | 19:03:47 |
Alex Gleason | Oh yeah... they dropped OStatus support | 19:04:05 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | #OfficiallyCoopted | 19:04:25 |
Alex Gleason | To be fair, GNU Social really needs to update to ActivityPub. I see that more as a sign for technical progress than censorship. | 19:04:38 |
Alex Gleason | Looks like Gab is keeping OStatus support for now | 19:04:49 |
Alex Gleason | Gab is just a superior platform at this point | 19:04:58 |
Cur_固嚛訥 | activitypub as far as I know handles more data.
hadn't diaspora send prvacy setting info over activitypub? | 19:06:45 |
Alex Gleason | Diaspora is its own protocol | 19:07:16 |

hythlodaeus | I recommend you to contact them with your story | 23:28:26 |
Alex Gleason | I will | 23:29:37 |
hythlodaeus | I think there should be a clear distinction between open hate speech, usage of racial slurs etc, and just stating your opinion no matter how egregious | 23:32:57 |
