@[email protected] sometimes it takes letting it play out for people to remember the leason that history could have thaught them. Do your best now to prepare for some tough times. If you own your home outright, get that basement ready for a renter. If you've already leveraged 80% of your home, get out from under that NOW and look for a basement to rent.

Read some Steinbeck. Watch Idocracy. Strike up a conversation with the oldest people you cross paths with about what they remember their parents telling them about the great depression. It's going to suck, but when someone can convince this many Americans to vote against their own interests their is a more fundamental problem.

I personally take a little joy from the interveiws with people laid off who didn't realize the company they worked for was producing products for federally subsidized clean energy initiatives.

The posts you are replying to ha e been deleted. I'm really currious what they said because we have one vendor who claims to be/is locked into usung "master". This either requires us to write CI that merges main -> master and mirrors master back to main or use master. This can confuse junior devs once or twice, but it is really not an issue. The ONLY time I felt compelled to use master because of this vendor was when working with a group using GitLab. GitLab has a feature called Pull Mirroring that is MUCH more reliable than a pull/mirror action in GitHub that does the same thing, but to use that the branch names had to be the same.

I see both sides of this argument. The master/slave relationship in tech is NOT like masterworks or mastering a craft. It is based on one "owning" the other, but I don't think that allowing technology to work that way is violating its rights. Obviously changing the name doesn't change the behavior and isn't it really only when that behavior is applied to people that we have a problem with it?

I never fully supported the effort required to change, but I've also never written anything in a way it would be difficult to change. I recognize that it could be considered a micro aggression, but it's not like we are going to stop ants or bees from treating other classes as forced labor. Slavery exists. It is bad when applied to people. It accurately describes tech. Changing the name of the master db or branch did NOT free the slaves.

@[email protected] no need to call. @[email protected] is already on a federated social solution with 2.3 million followers. Until the end of 2020, they were also active at @[email protected]. If you want media to prioritize these new, unownable solutions over legacy social, you have to show them there is an audience here and follow them.

If you are from CO, please follow @[email protected] and @[email protected].

@[email protected] is it still a fork? It thought it started that way to get something done quickly, but thay they moved to a proprietary platform. I could be wrong, but do have any info on instances blocking Truth Social? Are the instances that don't block Truth Social?

@[email protected] do you have a link to a discussion or documentation about down votes being private? Trying to Google this only returns this thread https://www.google.com/search?q=%22mbin%22+make+down+votes+private

Gilligan's Island (which was fictional of course).

I love that this requires a disclaimer :)

As others gave pointed out, trying to leave an island with enough food to survive on a raft is a big risk with a very low chance of success. I always assumed Tom's character knew that starving to death at sea was the most likely outcome and he ok with it. He was just done with what his life on the island had devolved into.

And it works as expected in MBin with an uploaded image overriding what is coming from the link rel="image_src" metatag

@Kbin_[email protected]

@[email protected] This has not been my experience at all. There was/is a lot of spam lingering on KBin long after it was removed from the federated source. I don't know if that's an issue with the removal being done in an unfederated way (bulk deletes at the db level), a sync issue cause by the recent kbin.social outages or just a general federation bug.

My kbin.social account has been @'ed in hundreds of comments and some of the most popular Kbin magazine where Earnest remains the sole moderator were flooded with spam.

Even this morning I tried reporting spam from a kbin.social account only to be told it had already been report... and yet 16 hours later the bot is still posting with this account.

I'm glad you've found kbin.social usable through all this, but the spam is tbere.

@[email protected] is there an issue/branch/fork where bins support is happening? I'd like to help with that if I can.

@[email protected] a few people in this thread have mentioned using Kbin or Mbin as something of an RSS curration tool. I'd like to learn more about that.

The Drupal community maintains an aggregate of feeds from 200+ sources with posts about the CMS. In the last year or so, the quality of the content is noticeably worse. Some community members are blaming Ai generated content...

Chat GPT, write a 1000 word blog post about Agile that mentions Drupal

I think the problem has more to do with how Google rewards "fresh" content that repeats keywords with higher page rank than a better written article posted 2 years earlier.

Regardless of the cause, a small group already running drupal.community for Mastodon has been discussing using up voting as a way to let the community curate the feed.

Would love any advice or examples on using Kbin or Mbin to empower a small community to curate RSS content.

@[email protected] I am reading, up voting and commenting on this thread from https://kbin.melroy.org/m/[email protected]/t/99078/What-are-the-practical-benefits-of-the-fediverse

The way I quickly explain the Fediverse to technical folks is it is like public email with voting and open trigger tracking baked in. ActivityPub is the SMTP of an ecosystem of multiple domains and clients with varying policies and features.

What is happening with Threads is very similar to when AOL started making it easier for the people within their walled garden to interact with the rest of the internet.
