Futureproofing in Unethical Times - Desk Chair Analysts

Today, I've had two different "reply-guys" reply to two different posts that statements that seemingly have nothing to do with the original post.

I think I'm at the "block the reply-guy" stage of the Fediverse.

Even if my vote is a protest vote (which it isn't), I still have a right to cast it.

My vote WILL count toward the candidate I'm voting for.

It doesn't not count against your candidate.

It doesn't count toward a candidate you don't like or I didn't vote for.

So, please, for the last time...

Sit your whole ass down with this 3rd party voting bullshit!

Stay mad that I won't vote for genocide, capitalism, imperialism, and racism!

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!

#GoogleFiber would be so much better if they allowed for static IPs.

What in the actual fuck?!

#Liberals are fucking deprived of humanity!

How is this not in and of itself FASCISM?!

This is why Black and Brown people leave this platform.

This is why women have a tough time reporting things that happen to them.

We have to provide receipts of all the terrible things that happen to us to white folks EVERY FUCKING DAY!

And when we're tired of doing so and call them out for this BULLSHIT, we just get dismissed!

THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM!

@milkman76 @silver_huskey If I, a Mastodon administrator, paying for his server with his own money, is telling you this literally happened to me, why won't you believe me?

If I, as a Black man, am telling you that other Black people I have talked to told me the reasons for them leaving Mastodon is because of the harassment and tone policing they have received on the platform, why won't you believe me?

Why do I have to prove it to you that it exists?

Why isn't my word enough for you?

@silver_huskey @milkman76 I mean, I'm literally saying it happened, but I can't be believed.

This is why Black and Brown people left.

@milkman76 @silver_huskey Funny thing is, my experience with Threads and Mastodon are inverse to yours.

I have found way more leftists and LGBTQIA+ folks there than I have here and have interacted with their content.

Here, I've seen more liberals than I can shake a stick at and was literally hate bombed on July 4, 2023. That's two days before Threads was even a thing.

So, I don't know what to tell you.

As much as I would love for Mastodon to grow, I get why people are avoiding it like the plague.

People are flocking to Bluesky as X makes more unwanted changes

Bluesky says it’s added half a million new users in a day; meanwhile, X is planning to essentially get rid of the block feature and has updated its terms of service around AI.

I almost destroyed MajorToot trying to update it to #Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.

Luckily, I was able to get it back to working order.

However, I wasn't able to perform the upgrade because of a #Postgres package.
