And yet it’s the “liberals” who are the whiny snowflakes.🙄

Which part of “set up and run your own instance” is unclear you whiny buffoon!?

I arrived in China 2001.

I experienced the harshest and largest lockdown in all of history: Wuhan, January 23rd, 2020. A real lockdown, not the cosplay bullshit you experienced outside of China. (Yes, this is me saying you’ve never fucking set foot in the country.)

The rest you’re just flat-out lying about. Sorry, Sparky. Did pet killings happen? Yes. They were not the mass shit that the press you’re so obviously reciting acts like they were. Did some doors get welded? Yes. But nowhere near you and, again, nowhere near in the masses the press you’re basing your lies on made it seem like. The local salaries are garbage iff you’re a fuckwit sitting in the west applying western prices to Chinese salaries. (Which, naturally, you are, good little fuckwit liar that you are.) And you’ve changed your tune from 14 hours to 12 hours really fucking quickly there, Sparky, not to mention using the proper slang only after I gave it to you.

So yeah, you’re just a west-dwelling fuckwit lying about being here. Go toddle off in your China Watcher corners and play with the rest of the intellectual children you belong with. There’s a good boy.

Wow! Someone who gets “choice” and “freedom of association”!

I’m sorry. Does actually having to put a bit of skin in the game offend you? You’d rather the people spending the actual money and doing the actual work just bow to your whims?

Compassionate fucking BUDDHA are the anti-defederation crowd a bunch of entitled, whiny asses!

Usually it’s just the self-righteousness instinct…

I love¹ telepathic people who can read other people’s minds and post on their behalf.

¹ This is sarcasm. I hate the delusional who think they’re telepaths.

So it’s freedom of association you’re opposed to then?

By “BOFH that happens to run the server” you mean “the volunteer whose money, time, and effort are being expended on your behalf”, right?

This is the single most entitled opinion I’ve ever heard in this. “I, the person who bears none of the pecuniary, temporal, or psychological costs of running the server insist that ‘the free software ethos’ means I get what I want on someone else’s computer.”

Fuck that noise.

If you want a server run your way that federates with the people you want to federate with, put your own skin in the game. Run your own server with your own rules. THAT is the actual free software ethos: DIY if you don’t like the way someone else does it.

The free software ethos is the punk ethos, not the hippy dippy shits ethos.

Replace “communist tankie shit” with “CSAM” or “torture porn” or such and see if that makes any sense to you (keeping in mind that all content from your “whitelisted” stuff is stored on the server owner’s hardware).

Ah. Idiot assumptions over and above idiot collaboration.

sh.itjust.works seems to attract the dullest.

Whatever you say, child. Buh-bye.

Say “I don’t know what a wumao is” without using those words.

I swear, I’m seeing the western equivalent of wumaos servicing Meta here. Only at least the wumaos got paid; it made sense. These idiots are doing the labour for free!

I am mocking cryptobro fantasies and their favoured lines of communication.

And yet has overwhelmingly cryptobros.

Again, when you can show me a cryptobro concentration lower than 99.44%, I’ll take nostr seriously. And when you can show it not turning into a Hellhole worse than Xhitter and Farcebook combined because of the very philosophy underpinning it, then I’ll think it’s actually worth looking at. (Hint: this is not possible.)

Until then I’ll call it what it is: a place for cryptobros to wank to their faux-libertarian fantasies.
