In the fediverse since 2017. I mostly talk sports. If something on the internet doesn't spark joy, mute it.

Do not yell at me simply because I am in front of you and the people responsible for the problems are not. It is extremely unpleasant.

  • I suspect what you're finding is that the kind of men who make amorous advances aren't the kind of men you're interested in, and the kind of men you're interested in don't make amorous advances. Have you tried amorously approaching a man who you're interested in?

  • I definitely think your own instance is the right move here, and you can post whatever you want to your own instance. I don't want you to hear me saying "you shouldn't do this," but instead hear me saying "please don't be offended when you find your efforts are not well received."

  • I tried setting up a bot to auto-post from an rss feed for sports stuff a few years back, and it made a lot of people very unhappy and got my bot banned pretty quick. Nocturne is right— there honestly just isn’t demand for bot-posted content; people would rather nothing than automated posting 🤷‍♂️

  • I'm also aphantasiac and similarly have no idea what this question could possibly mean.

  • I would miss you if you were gone.

  • Mostly enforcement. Many repositories have put anti-AI licenses on their code, but much like LLM companies violations of copyright law, it's really difficult to prove they're pulling the repositories and using them for training. Notoriously, FOSS projects don't have a lot of money lying around to hire legal teams to go on fishing expeditions in a lengthy discovery process on the hopes someone was dumb enough to admit it in writing.

  • We’ve made it a decade, I think you’ll find us more resilient than you expect.

  • I feel better about the project now that I know there are people who want to wear the term who can’t.

  • Are there real people who actually want to use the word “American?” Are there Salvadorans or Hondurans or Panamanians who are just dying out here because people get confused when they call themselves Americans and are just really sad about it? The US is one of two countries called the United States, and the only country with “America” in the name, and I simply do not understand what this obsession with us not using the endonym “American” is.

  • I think you’ll find most instance owners unwilling to pay for bot armies to swarm their instances.

  • Mastodon, Misskey, Loops, Pixelfed, Bookwyrm, Funkwhale, Peertube, Friendica, Hubzilla, Pleroma, and obviously PieFed

  • “The Jews could have prevented the holocaust if they’d just played devil’s advocate a little harder” is one of the most morally reprehensible takes I’ve ever seen in an online space, and one I simply cannot believe anyone can make in good faith.

  • Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean to claim credit. I meant you and I are posting here on fedi so we should promote their fedi account. I edited my comment to clarify; thanks!

  • Then you know better than most that there is enough darkness in this world, and no need for you to write more of it

  • Tromboner got more usage in my jr high/high school/college marching band, but trombinist was more common in my orchestra and jazz ensembles. Do with that information what you will.

    edit: Also! We're in the fediverse, so you gotta link to their fedi account: @rikergoogling@mas.to

  • By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”
