NEW #PRIVACY ISSUE WITH #facebook As of tomorrow, Facebook will creep into your bathroom when you're in the shower, smack your bottom, and then steal your clothes and towel. To change this option, go to Privacy Settings > Personal Settings > Bathroom Settings > Smacking and Stealing Settings, and uncheck the Shenanigans box. Facebook kept this one quiet. Copy and Paste on your status to alert the unaware.
Just upgraded to this (via glitch-soc) and everything seems smooth...
One thing I wish existed was a way to set a max-chars-per-toot variable once in a main config and have all the various spots that need to be edited reference that variable instead of the fixed value of 500.
I'm sure someone has suggested this in the past, but every time I update (which is weekly) I have to stash my changes, then re-edit three or so files to get back to where I started.
Thanks for all the outstanding work. I'm actually learning things from your (the plural "you" there) code.
@freemo I (mostly) agree with your point.. it was just the troublemaker who blocked you isn't the author of the first toot... and you're probably better off without that troublemaker anyway.
@freemo To be fair, though.. the toot to which you replied was authored by a different person than the one who asked for citations... or at least a different account.
To those who believe that hating those who hate you will accomplish anything at all: you're wrong. Those who hate you will only feed on your hatred of them, which will only feed your hatred of them, which will only fuel their hate even more, until all that is left is hatred. If you're someone who hates those who hate you, tell me now so I can engage /dev/null.
There are people who would moderate for free given the right motivation. "Keep the actual nazis away" is a good reason to want to moderate... but you'll want to find people who know the difference between "someone slightly to the right of me" and actual nazis...
...not really. I had an account on there. I asked one question which, I suppose, someone took offense to. Next thing I know, I'm suspended - cant see anyone. I questioned/appealed the decision and never heard back. 30 days later that account is toast and can't even talk to people who'd friended it in the first place. This was late 2021 early 2022.
Then I made an account on infosec.exchange.. Jerry was very cool. Then I got the idea to spin my own instance up.. and here I am.
No, these bad decisions at universodon have been going on for at least two years.. It's only becoming APPARENT now.
@flexghost@freemo I guess some people can't stand thoughts that don't align with their own.. and then they wonder why the "other side" seems so disconnected...
And here I am trying to figure out the easiest way to flush my server's block list without destroying the server's database...
I could do it via SQL query, but I'm not certain that's ALL that the server software needs done...
Been messed up before like that... Cleared the addresses, but there were other references and that software never worked the same. Ended up wiping and starting over.
It'd be nice if we had clear documentation for using the cli and scripting it... I just haven't found it yet.
These days, recruiters talk to you about a job, tell you they're going to put you up for the job, and then you never hear back. Even after you message, text, call, and email multiple times.
