No. Fuck this. I literally left #Tumblr a few month ago because they have a serious infestation of #CP and child #SA. If you’re an admin, I’d suggest blocking Tumblr. The #Fediverse will have to deal with more and more of this as it becomes increasingly popular. #ActivityPub support or not, we do NOT want an invasion of #CorporateCorruption.

@glynmoody Run it locally, then there's no issue

@BeAware The difference is, you can run it locally and the code can be reviewed, unlike other companies.

@ArneBab @nazgul I hope it doesn't get as bad as I think it will. However, I gave up years ago and moved out of the US in 2007. I won't go back.

@ArneBab @nazgul I’m afraid it’s too late. I don’t see how they can be stopped. Trump should have been arrested immediately after Jan. 6, but the Democrats did fuck all.

Why do website always want to know if I’m human? What if I’m a velociraptor?

We need to create artificial general intelligence, so we have someone besides ourselves to talk to. #agi #artificialintelligence #ai

I get the feeling, and it’s only a feeling, and few a bits of anecdotal evidence, that many of us #genx people who where among the first to jump feet first into the #worldwideweb, will also be some of the first to leave. I think it was about a year ago, someone created a poll on the age demographic of #Mastodon users, and the vast majority were gen-x and older #millennials. We know it’s all gone to shit, and we want out.

@pfefferle @darnell @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello You tell me. I’m not a dev. All I know is that every time I’ve tried to make a blog with it, it was an awful, confusing, complicated, messy experience. And everyone always suggests it, like it the obvious, default choice. It’s one of the reasons I gave up trying to have my own website. I’m not a fan.

@darnell @pfefferle @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello ATM, the Fediverse feels fairly svelte. Bringing in a massive bloated mess like Wordpress seems like a terrible idea.

@hj I feel the same but about 7. I believe it was not only the best Windows, it was the best Windows will ever be. Win7 was peak Windows.
