edshot99 (edshot99@social.076.ne.jp)'s status on Thursday, 10-Nov-2022 20:51:32 JSTedshot99 ...and third times a charm.
First time using "Fediverse" with my own server and Pleroma went fine somewhat, but I never liked the mess and how everything was broken. Especially having to pass the connection from relayd to nginx and sometimes to httpd and then to Pleroma.
Now with new OpenBSD version it won't even load at all. Well. Good riddence I suppose.
Second time using "Fediverse", but this time with GNU Social. There is five different websites for some reason... not a good start!
Everything is very smoother compared to the shit show I had with Pleroma. Too bad the performance with GNU Social is really really bad even with opcache, redis, etc.
I still don't like half the plugins for GNU Social are broken and how some things can't be changed such as the inability to stop everything being saved in awful webp.
Worst part, posting doesn't work. Nothing in logs...
Third time using "Fediverse", but this time I scrap my own and use 076. Why not use them in the first place knowing full well that
"Linux only" software never goes well on OpenBSD? Well. The only reason I even got "interested" in SNS is because of how the majority of people really love using it for communications. Although I am quite opposed to this new style of communication and prefer a good ol' BBS I still have concerns with this.
So as much as I don't like SNS, I think it would be a mistake to not support this. What would I rather have in the future: people using an SNS where they are locked and limited to powerful companies or people who can run their own and not be limited?
Ok, valid reason for supporting SNS, but what not promote 076 SNS?
Well... although 076 does promote free as in freedom speech the biggest problem I see is the inappropiate artwork being shown in the clear.
I do not care for people posting this stuff as long it isn't hardcore (as in being beaten and bleeding and what not), but of course in my area most people are going to see that and be quite upset!
Hence why I wanted to create my own SNS to "censor" the content. Now I do not mean censor as in deleting or blocking the content, but more of having that "this content is not appropiate" overlay on it.
Of course this becomes complicated since manually marking images is just too time consuming and unrealistic, but I am sure I could figure something out.
Why not just simply block or delete the content? Well because this is never the right thing to do!
Unless the content is very bad or contains links to actual onion real life pedophilia rings, then I don't think deleting is an option!
I have my own reasons for why I practice this simply put.
So. If this idea is so good, why am I here?
Well. Let's just say all Fediverse software is very bad. I don't have time to make my own either.
I also think it's a very good idea to actually get a feel for SNS and to see if people will actually use and like such a service.
It would be quite silly to spend an entire year or more developing a SNS program that regular people see no interest in.
It is also silly to develop one when I don't really have much experience with actually using one.
Ultimately I must try out SNS more and see how things work and how things actually are.
On one hand I have a gut feeling that supporting a free SNS program/service is a waste of time since most people are "robot" like and will stick with whatever is popular (as I somewhat talked about before here https://social.076.ne.jp/notice/AKIGYGDCp1zAFgRvHM)
On the other hand when a popular program/service is very bad to the point where the user gets tired of it, they will be willing to try (as also mentioned in that link above).
Who knows. Maybe I will enjoy using a free SNS program/service :^^^
