@augustus @celesteh That goes back to Malatesta. Organisation isn't necessarily the same as authority. -

@celesteh if it's just a matter of the admin having a policy of kicking nazis then that's fine. Some years ago when I was on Redmatrix (now Hubzilla) ISIS started showing up on a few servers. These are the really bad guys, similar to nazis, and as soon as the admins were alerted they got swiftly kicked off and their accounts deleted.
Kicking nazis and other authoritarians isn't against free speech, it's more about self-preservation. Nazis will laugh at free speech and do not care to listen to your quaint ideological monologue before they pull out their Luger. -

@hobbsc I've been writing software nearly all my lifetime and seen various failed attempts to deskill, commodify or automate the process. So I think there will continue to be a need for humans to write software for the foreseeable future. Also despite the end of Moore's law on silicon it doesn't look like the pace of change in electronics and software is slowing down much.
However, despite the need for programmers the question of whether you can get paid to spend time writing or fixing software is always very debatable. If a basic income is eventually introduced then that might solve a lot of problems in that regard. -

"The emancipation of the working classes must be conquered by the working classes themselves; that, the struggle for the emancipation of the working classes means not a struggle for class privileges and monopolies, but for equal rights and duties, and the abolition of all class rule"

@maiyannah #nsfw works well with the Pleroma UI. In earlier attempts with Qvitter I had trouble getting the SensitiveContent plugin to work. -

"Since humanity neither wishes to, nor can, live in isolation it is inevitable that those people who have neither the means, nor a sufficiently developed social conscience to permit them to associate freely with those of a like mind and with common interests, are subjected to the organization by others, generally constituted in a class or as a ruling group, with the aim of exploiting the labor of others for their personal advantage"

@quad @lambadalambda transparency is what I want the most from instances that use blacklists and whatnot, they're basically deceiving their users if they pretend to represent the federation while only showing 50% of its posts -

Annah's got the Shotgun
Those interested in following the development of my federated software postActiv I invite to join the !postActiv group. Perhaps for Mastodon-residing people we could also use the hashtag #postActiv since groups are not supported by Mastodon. If you like what I'm doing, you can support active development in one of four ways:
1] Support the project financially at patreon.com/postActiv
2] Help write user documentation - we NEED it, BADLY
3] Help with translating the software to other languages
4] Get your friends and family and frenemies on the fediverse - community is why we do this!
If you have questions just ask! If you want to ask them privately, ping my email at maiyannah.bishop@postactiv.com or my XMPP handle @maiyannah@xmpp.highlandarrow.com -
