Companies seem to like Singapore.

When you hear of what Singapore is like though, you kind of think "why on earth would someone want to live there".

A random post from eight months ago appeared, lol.

@freemo Button?

@freemo I'm clicking on the link above Edit profile.

@freemo Even with a hard refresh, it is still an issue.

@freemo Trying to view my profile gives me a "Not found".

@freemo What's so strange isn't that it is going through old posts but that it seems to be looping through the *same* old posts part of the time.

@freemo To pick out some examples. There is one from 24 hours ago. One from 7 hours ago. Two from 11 hours ago.

My profile isn't loading.

The local feed appears to have vanished.

Another issue. If you try to unboost something, then boost it again, it doesn't allow that operation as it thinks it is still boosted.

@freemo https://git.qoto.org/explore There appear to be spammers on your Gitlab.

@freemo https://github.com/statping/statping Since the server seems to have eaten this post, I don't know if it reached you. Have you considered using some sort of status page (on a separate sub-domain?)? Here's an example of one.

@BeAware I also went looking through a few accounts which appeared from there before, and a lot of them were once active but didn't appear to be any more. It's not thorough though.

@BeAware There is a very long list of rules so I guess it could be almost anything.

I'm also seeing a misrepresentation of the law to avoid making a potentially controversial policy decision (if the community finds some kinks to be unpleasant to deal with, can we at least be upfront about that? I don't think anyone expects every small instance to deal in every kind).

@damagecontrolblog @wjmaggos @BeAware What if someone deliberately provokes others (even making themselves as visible as possible) then hides behind the thing? I've seen this happen quite a few times.

@BeAware @meesj @emanuelegori They also appear to be severely over-blocking (this doesn't seem proportionate for someone who claims to follow human rights standards).

It seems less like they're trying to pull from the fediverse, as much as they're targeting people on a few large instances (who are also likely to be the least savvy ones).

It also neutralizes the promise of decentralization by centralizing users on a few large instances (see, they are just like us).

@freemo I'm guessing the moderator has a document in-front of them telling them to look for pubic hair and they're interpreting it very literally.

Meanwhile at FBI HQ:

"We just received a tip about a child porn ring on Faceboo- Damn it, it's a Wikipedia link again!"

@freemo Even if someone writes something, chances are they won't bother to (really) read it, and it's buried somewhere where hardly anyone will see it.
