I agree. The FOSS movement is its own subculture that can be pretty preachy and annoying for outside people.

Yup if I hadn’t blocked several communities from appearing constantly in my feed, I would leave too.

Every country has the anti-abortion cancer movement and it wouldn’t surprise me if the shit gets more serious here in Europe too with the rise of far right parties. As a matter of fact you have only to look at Poland.

Oh boy. Some survivors will need a lot of therapy after this.

Yes. Threads wants to use the ActivityPub Protokoll. We can interact with Kbin and Mastodon users thanks to this Protocol. The fear is that they use their huge user base to change the protocol to their liking (basically take control over the ActivityPub) and everyone who wants to stay federated with them and their users has to adapt those changes until the day they will simply cut everyone off.

Nobody de-federated. People saw that there was a the_Donald community on sh.itjust.works + a lot of people from said server defending it (“just ignore it bro”). That triggered probably bad memories ala spez defending t_D because of “VaLuABlE DiSCuSsIoN”, while they brigaded and harrased countless people during their time on Reddit. Some people got a little bit carried away and demanded de-federation and a couple of trolls throw gazoline in the fire.

Dipshits like this are the reason why moderators have such a bad reputation. Powermods in general are very controversial but this person takes the cake.

Oh! That’s where the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance gets its name from? The more you know 🌠
