Well, I don't mean it would be a single silo. Like the approved list would be perhaps a few thousand servers or so, as the network grows. As a starting point, the Fedipact servers could be used.

@Are0h

What do you think about doing a blocklist of everything by default, then just approving servers that don't suck?

@aral @jalcine @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon

Matrix was funded by Protocol Labs (IPFS, Filecoin crypto) and by the guy that started Skype and Kazaa.

It is well known from Snowden docs (and earlier!) that Skype had a government backdoor.

Kazaa was also loaded with spyware.

Matrix is institutionally compromised.

@viktor

Yes, I understand all that.

I also understand who funds and partners with a company affects their priorities.

I can look at their code, but they are institutionally compromised which will affect their decisions.

Also, earlier someone mentioned the investor--he was founder of dodgy apps too, not just money.

Want to know a group, see who they work with.

One must imagine Sisyphus typing...

@evan @rysiek @arcade

One of the reasons google's chat had any momentum was because it worked with jabber. That's why it was used. Otherwise they would have no one on the network.

Since geeks saw it was "open" and compatible with what they were using *THEY WERE THE FIRST ADOPT THE NETWORK*.

@evan

This one is from 2014. It's probably gotten worse since then if anything.

@evan

"Donor" being a euphemism for oligarch.

The public's opinion has been shown to be *indistinguishable from noise* when measuring it's effect on political decisions.

@evan

Depends on the investor.

I work to take powerful technologies and make them libre.

Started 1990s Internet Service Provider: "Think Globally, Connect Locally".

Early 2000s: Hosted/published controvesial sites, like indymedia.

Tried liberated phones/hardware, (e.g. Maemo failure).

Started libre LulzBot 3D printers--we have to make our own liberation, no corporation will ever do it for us.

Now studying how satellites dominate hoomans.

I live in the Northern Colorado foothills.

@fifilamoura @rysiek The fact that he's sitting in the USA right now tells you who is supporting this...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine

@nf3xn @fifilamoura @rysiek He's awfully comfortable launching a coup from USA soil.

@rysiek @nf3xn @fifilamoura I don't think they are trying to re-instate Bolsonaro. I do think they keep South America destabilized on purpose.

Doesn't Bolsonaro sitting in Florida speaks volumes though? Why does he feel he can be there, if not impunity? And why does he have that impunity here?

@rysiek @nf3xn @fifilamoura People in the US government (including Florida governor, etc, I should add), in particular "security" services, CIA, embassies, etc.

By the way, I never suggested (earlier, nor now), that this is Biden's agenda.

@rysiek @nf3xn @fifilamoura The same people that have been overthrowing governments in South America for years. Various oligarchs working with security services, is what it often turns out to be.

@rysiek @nf3xn @fifilamoura It is the *de facto* policy of the USA. The USA dominates South America. Any exception will have the screws turned on them until they give in. This all long pre-dates Biden. Even if today he wanted to stop it, it will take a generation to shut down.

@rysiek @nf3xn @fifilamoura

The Monroe Doctrine, in sum, is USA domination of South America.

This also is the truth on the ground. Any country that doesn't subject to the USA is constantly harassed (e.g. Cuba, Venezuela at present).

So whether the Monroe Doctrine is on state.gov or not, is immaterial. In reality, it is how the foreign policy works.

As for the oligarchs, they control the politicans. Then the government goes and carries out *their* will, not the will of the public.

@evan

I'm noob Mastodon admin. Is there anyway to bulk import just the URL, like https://rapidblock.org/blocklist.json.txt ?

I see how to do it one at a time, but that looks tedious. Thx.
