    Alternate caption: “Zionists smuggling in settlers before the British mandate ended to have enough votes to create a State of Israel as a safe haven for Holocaust refugees, then getting populated mostly by Jews fleeing Arab countries out of fear of retaliation for having created the State of Israel a day early and having pushed most Palestinians out by force”

    He didn’t even want to kill all those people, he only wanted to exploit them and then deport everyone to Africa… but the Allies wouldn’t let him conquer enough Africa for all of them, so what was he to do? Killing then wasn’t even his idea, it was Reinhardt’s! He just signed it…

    (do I put an /s? it’s historically correct…)

    Reddit sells NFTs (avatars) that could easily make them more (from a percentage of each transaction) than what they’re asking for API access, if they just required 3rd party apps to include them, which wouldn’t have generated barely any backlash. But it’s their loss, and if we get a federated alternative in the process… then so be it.


  • The main “gap” I see in all this, is the lack of user account migration.

    Instances defederating is a feature, not a bug, it’s how instances with incompatible Codes of Conduct are supposed to interact: just go each their own way.

    What’s lost in the process, is users getting taken for the ride. There should be an easy way for users to hop from one instance to another when they realize their current instance doesn’t meet their expectations.

    That might require having to get verified into a new Code of Conduct on a different instance, maybe a review of whatever post history they want to import, maybe just a multi-accont UI. It’s something to be worked out.


  • It’s not “anti-competitive”, it’s what freedom of speech looks like: you are free to be a shithead, you are not free to force others to listen to you.

    Keep in mind that “defederating” is the opposite to a “site-wide ban” on places like Reddit, the shitheads can still behave any way their admins will let them on their own instance.

    There is no “sway” when everyone can start their own instance.
