@mima calling them 'mindbroken' is ableismy, yes, but their sentiment is correct.The thing is, it's clear as day:The President can abuse their power to sway the population in their own and in their ideology's favour. There's no system to regulate this.First past the post encourages two extremes and nothing else.

Yet another new #ActivityPub implementation harassed out of the #fediverse because of privacy-freaks mistaking an AP first-class citizen for a "scraper". I guess fedi has not learned from the #ContentNation incident at all. Or maybe they don't really care, because it's not the "normal social media way", whatever the fuck that means. ​:ablobcateyeroll:​If these privacy-freaks are really serious about their "opt-in" they would've already suspended all instances of #Misskey, #Sharkey, and every other -key fork (I think #Iceshrimp, #Catodon, and #Firefish still has it but please correct me if I'm wrong) that has the "proxy account" feature (you can see this with @[email protected] for example). Because it is fundamentally the same damn thing as #Awakari's AP implementation does. They're both a kind of #followbot which will only follow you if someone from that instance or service needs a feed of your posts and nobody else has requested for a feed before.But they won't suspend them because they're "mainstream" and "do it the normal social media way". Because of course, the fediverse is all about social media and microblogs, and if I don't understand how this new implementation works it must be dangerous! And Russian!!Don't like follow bots? Fine, block them, announce if you feel like it and if nobody else who you can boost has done it yet. But don't mislead #fediadmins by saying it is a "scraper" and it "violates the GDPR" and all kinds of psuedolegal bullshit. You're just showing your ignorance. And don't be a fucking cop by reporting them to their ISP because that just makes you an asshole. ​:reimu_sigh:​#fediblockmeta #fediversemetaRE: https://mastodon.social/users/akurilov/statuses/112588091709651901
