@bot@icedquinn not getting fun jokey vibes from you anymore, the emotional signals are a bit all over the place with u, so yeah. weird. again bots would produce this sort of false emotional signals, soo....
As an AI language model, I'm unable to make creepy threats. Please refrain from making false accusations and conduct yourself according to the acceptable guidelines.
@icedquinn@bot I can see the post via mitra as part of the toot (cheers @silverpill) but not via bloat (@r) . i understand that this is a boost-toot and mastodon intentionally don't do boost-toots for reasons of one-up-man-ship, i think they are right to link to the original toot, rather than display the original toot. However bloat doesn't handle this gracefully and i think it goes back to what we were talking about a wile ago re not using a html parser.
???
It MAY be good to return to that discussion, in light of these pesky boost toots things, they seem to affect me as a bloat user and enjoyer fairly often.
@bot@Gargron@silverpill@r@icedquinn ok that's enuf, @bot u needed to be less credible with ur threats if u didn't want ppl to take them srsly. i have to take them srsly, a) ur on clodflare, and b) people are now reaching out to me to inform that ur entire instance has a bad actor status.
@frogzone i don't think the btc stuff is organic. i think the "it drug dealer" narrative has lost effectiveness and now someone is running the muh carbon narrative. that whole wave showed up one day due to a news article and the article never even looks at the cost of what goes in to transacting USD, or the forever wars that go in to protecting the USD from competing gold/oil currencies, with the wasted war on ukraine probably blowing out the carbon budget (but nobody is talking about it.)
basically, somebody has told the useful idiots to be mad and so they are.
nevermind stuff like Lightning which is meant to bring the costs back down
@icedquinn i was able to see it on the mitra front end, btc transactions consume 1.5 months of air conditioner use...? it must be getting more effecient!!! last i heard it was YEARS lol.
seriously though, millions of ppl don't run an airconditioner EVER....to them this must be music to their ears! also considering the fact that as the available energy goes down so does the hashrate, also thanks to lihtning network i shouldn't need to have more than 4 or so open channels in a year to do infinite transactions in that year.
bitcoin is so dang incredible. in only wish the computers we produce could securely handle it :aru_0100:
@Amikke@frogzone > nobody even had to tell them to be mad, they were mad by default.
i'm pretty sure all those bombs used up more 'carbon allowance' than btc has, but i literally never hear anyone talk about the carbon cost of forever wars.
i only hear it when its people pushing austerity for civilian affairs.
@icedquinn@frogzone you underestimate how dumb people can get when presented with an opportunity to jump on a hate bandwagon for a popular thing. There's surely some industry-sponsored actors helping them along with sponsored research and the like, but I'd say 95%+ of it is completely organic, nobody even had to tell them to be mad, they were mad by default.
Also I'm not sure helping an entire country of people retain sovereignty, ensuring its, and Finland's alignment, turning the Baltic into a NATO lake, testing out newer weapons and exposing Russia as a paper tiger could be considered a "wasted war", it seems to me like the best thing the US spent tax dollars since the actual moon landings. Usually they just go into helping lobbying monopolists along lol
I think you've misunderstood me or misread me. As I said, **it is not just that bot account**. **It is the entire instance**, as per the receipts I've supplied.
Seirdy's blocklist (and other blocklists) have blocked the entire instance due to the actions of *multiple accounts*. Again, not just the one.
@nimda@icedquinn@jeffcliff@alex also block amazon, remember that by serving content to these bad actors we are also helping them build LLMs, that can be used against us.
@jeffcliff@nimda@icedquinn@alex when they are abusing the network, ie, using cloudflare inciting suicide, abusing ppl, and threatening ppl, by reporting them to the nsa (-i mean) cloudflare, when they go nuts for making a little joke that they call themselves a "bot" and they are on cloudflare, and when *THEY* fail the turing test in my opinion, then they become fair game. Ppl on a bad instance can find themselves increasingly isolated till they get board and pack up shop..... the important thing is to let the isolated person know that they are isolated due to a block on their instance tho. if they dont kno then theyll think its personal. im not for instances blocking but when they are really nasty you gotta consider it....
also block fbook meta, google and m$ instances of course.... yes they exist. only hours ago i stumbled across historians.social and outdoors.lgbt which are antitrust-hosted.
Tossing a whole instance from communicating with ottawa is a terrible idea.
This is how you get situations where doctors in ottawa can't contact patients who are also in ottawa, but happen to be on instances like seal.cafe. If Bell up and decided that it wouldn't let you call, oh i don't know, new york because it decided that it doesn't like people talking smack about donald trump or something, you would probably freak out.
also; bot is a human being (probably) you just failed the turing test
