@admin Ha, I have watched the results, I didn't follow the first-hand drama much; all I have is second-hand stuff and I caught a brief glimpse of the "This internet website embarrasses me" thread because leyonhjelm was in it. I think that's the thread that kicked it off, or at least people seemed surprised in that thread.
It is kind of stupid for them to burn it, like noagendasocial.com reported 3,926 people active this month out of 9,106 ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/noauthority.social ; keep in mind that even deleted accounts are tracked by Masto when it does its MAU counts), and that is pretty rare for instances that age and size.
> boomercons can’t handle hatred of their golden calf (the jews)
I have no dog in that fight and no love for boomercons and even I was sick of hearing "the reason i have no money or girl or happiness is jews" within the first few months of FSE's existence. So then "I can't do anything because a race of people has cucked my entire life" a bitchy thing to say that reeks of terminal manbitchiness: these are people that I would not want on my team even if I were fully bought-in to their stupid agenda, and not only that, but they never know how to shut the fuck up about it. This is the mark of the CIA/FSB/Mossad/BNBF/whoever fed shill and the idiot and the distinction does not matter: you tell them you do not care and this breaks their mind, they can't leave you alone after that.
@p@admin So the boomer admin instead of banning the "nazis" from his instance, which is something most of his users would probably be ok with, instead disavows his own community because of them?
Someone should tell him that he is letting the nazis win and that his grandparents would be ashamed

Seems like it.

I think banning them is the same, in most cases. But it's different in his case, because he's doing "a community" and that's a completely different game from just running a server. If you are just running a server, it does not matter so much, but if you are building a community around your eceleb indie media outlet and running a server with the name of that eceleb indie media outlet, telling the people on that server that you hate them and don't want to acknowledge them is going to hose you. I suspect he has hosed himself beyond just tanking his masto server.
BMBF. "Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung". I have to look it up every time because I cannot remember it. I guess "Ministerium" should be easy to remember. The people funding things like https://prototypefund.de/en/project/hatespeech-tracker/ . https://www.bmbf.de/en/index.html . (I think they are acting as a cutout for the Bundesnachrichtendienst after the court ruling that said the BNF did not have the authority to spy on random foreigners, but that's another story.)
Someone please send Germany some hyphens so that they do not say things like "Bundesministerium" or "Bundesnachrichtendienst" any more. portuguese_english_german.mp4
@p@admin i understand being sick of it. That being said, the fact that Adam Curry admitted that he had an extreme issue with someone just shitposting about the jews isn’t really part of that, comparatively.
Sorry you had to see it. I care less about the situation and mostly just have a visceral aversion to the obvious gaslighting from egotistical ex-celebrities.
Had sausage, eggs, biscuits, and gravy for breakfast yesterday. I haven't done that in so long that I way over-did it and passed out for three hours. (Luckily it was Sunday, you can randomly pass out three hours on a Sunday. I still feel full.)
@p@marine@admin You and I have very different views on many subjects and yet you are :1488: percent in the right on this one. Those who will not shut the fuck up and go away after having been told "I'm not interested in continuing this conversation" are life unworthy of life
@p Yeah I don't buy that official excuse... Adam is a smart guy - he knew people would shitpost. Word on the street is he's trying to clean his image up because he's running for mayor of his town.
@p Exactly - it's not like those posts are going away, even if the server does. I personally don't care that NAS shut down since I run my own instance, but it's got a lot of people miffed.
That said, it'll be interesting to see what happens to podcasting 2.0 when the campaign manager finds all the heinous stuff they're indexing 🤣 @admin@detroitriotcity.com
