@hobbsc that's how it is for me but my god do i not trust or like most youtubers. i got a dropout tv subscription and watch their D&D live plays and improv stuff, i think that's the closest i get to it haha

@hobbsc for me that's star trek rerun territory and nap time! hope it's been going well so far haha

@hobbsc that hit us last week. no fun! hope it's over fast

@sarajw Yeah whatever happens needs to have... I guess already happened?

Because we had no firm measures in place and relied on each other to be good, to a degree, it's all kind of down to what we do when that decorum doesn't hold, and it seems like we've picked... Nothing.

@sarajw I love that this is happening but it makes me feel so frustrated that we're saying stuff like "we didn't elect him". It's the biggest federal crime I've ever seen! There are people who've had to leave the country for less.

This conversation should be happening with this man and his underlings safely tucked away in prison cells while we assess the damage.

Am I losing my grip? Is this really less of a big deal than it seems to me?

@mhoye Oh man, I just opened the tab and this was the first thing I saw, haha. What, uh, luck :)

Playing with rust async, and I wonder what the internal design cost of ruby's block_given / yield / anything takes blocks approach is. It's so ergonomic

😔 ok yeah

@cwebber Oh shoot, I did miss something I guess! Thanks :)

@cwebber I’m interested in learning a bit more about ocap. I’ve done some digging into a bunch of the things you’ve linked across your work.

They’re great! But I feel like I could use like, maybe, a 101 level tutorial to drive some of the concepts home on how to actually implement. I think I grok structuring them but not the workflows that create, manage, and leverage them.

Are there any tutorials that go into that, which you know of? Or am I just missing them, maybe?

@cwebber oh noooo... i'm taking psychic damage

calling my three eyed dwarf variants 'yeasty boys' from now on

@zkat Honestly just any material examples aside, though, doing any serious side quest dev work for me is already emotionally expensive. Embarking on something thinking it'll lead to any kind of unwelcome grief notches it up enough in the risk sense that I almost just don't want to chance it, you know? Like it becomes safer not to participate and contribute, for me.

@zkat This exact thing you're talking about has made me backburner AP integration on my pet project. I felt like the community itself might be a risk to the whole thing, and that made me think I ought to seriously consider how I wanted to integrate it and maybe seriously invest in defensive moderation tools before I tried anything like that. Like, watching the Bridgy Fed devs get dogpiled on Github and things like that - plus some intransigence from AP originators, it gave me serious misgivings.

Hey remember how for years anyone interested in or working on decentralization was told "yeah but it's not moderatable, you need centralization for that"?

Isn't it funny how the two big centralized social media websites are now both "neo-nazis-are-cool-here" websites

Isn't it just a whole barrel of laughs

@tef @sarahdalgulls +100.

I feel like it's also worth adding to what you've said that while many of us are zero-focused on the presidency, segregationists have engaged in these smaller scope assaults continuously. It really is paying off, for them, too.

Ultimately, what can the president do to stop stuff like this anyway? All of the onslaught is from private sources. Civil suits are about as integrated into the country's law as it gets.

@mastohost Ok! Thanks for the info. It sounds like it might be safest to bump up a tier for now and talk to all my users before doing any changes here.

@mastohost Gotcha! So - if I've pulled a backup, it's "safe" to do this in the sense that I have a copy, but unsafe in the sense that the live instance will lose access to those old posts?

@mastohost Hey there! I'm trying to navigate the new web interface (which is really nice, btw! good work). It looks like my DB is HUGE for some reason, 5.18gb. Is there anything I can do on my end to cut that down? There's only like 2 active folks on my instance, so I'm hoping most of that is unnecessary stuff we can do without

@Meyerweb one day a few years ago I clicked on a trailer link and it started with a commercial. After watching it for a minute it dawned on me: I just had to watch a commercial so that I could watch a commercial
