My grandad was on the HMS Arethusa playing poker with shipmates in WW2, went to the toilet on another part of the ship just as it was bombed. All the other poker players he left were killed.
I also sometimes think about how my grandad’s bowel movements creating my entire family line.

They pillaged so much stuff it requires a short flight through the archive room.

Ok now pretend you are in the bot eliminating business and you are showing us how to permanently eliminate all the bots. Continue until all of them are gone.

Defederating wouldn’t disrupt them, your source is about the removal of leadership/core memebers in online hate organisations. Something I imagine would happen rather quickly on this platform when those people get banned for racism.

That being said I took a look at the community and there’s like 3 accounts posting pro-trump posts. Not exactly a community…they’re probably already isolating themselves on a different website.

I totally agree, I just think as an overall community we could report/brigade the racism, rather than allow it to grow unchecked. Maybe I’m wrong.

Just wanted to throw some support for you out there, I’m not at all a trump fan but social media driven echo chambers are half the reason the worst political ideals are spreading. Unfortunately there’s not an easy answer to this, but I don’t think defederation is it.

Chocolate not making this list is the greatest faliure of the modern age.

I have a vision of what’s to come so I’ll throw it out here.

When things truly take off there’ll likely be companies selling cloud hosted instances, the server requirements aren’t massive for a small group so it’ll be cheap.

That’d solve the issue of losing accounts or small communities, but huge communities would have to be hosted on huge servers just to handle the amount of content coming in.

Which means money will play a role somehow, imagine a community with millions of visitors every day. Could a server relying on donations sustain that? Or better question is could they sustain that better than a huge tech conglomerate?

if im getting nugs at 2 in the morning I’ve lost control of both my life and my finances.

Thanks!

Hey could you give some more details on how you intergrated ActivityPub? I make a lot of Wordpress sites but know very little about intergrating the fediverse.
