Concerning

As someone who understands this language, this is hilarious.

I prefer not to use centralized services.

Oh, good. Discord’s age verification rollout has ties to Palantir’s co-founder Peter Thiel. That’s the nail in the coffin for me. It’ll be Matrix only from me from now on!

Oh right, it’s Valentine’s day. Not that I would have any reason to pay attention to stuff like that.

A girlfriend? What the heck is that?

Yep, same here

We must take things into our own hands

Girls who use decentralized apps are hot

Because it will lead to buggy and insecure service, causing customer headaches. Imagine asking a random number generator to write your payment infrastructure!

Why’d you say you’re not from the US in another comment

Exactly We must take action

This is actually true

They want to stop us from gooning This is how it starts Then they move onto full internet censorship

So that means I can’t get annoyed about it and post it here?

Not a feature, it’s a bug.

Thanks, I’m saving that.

The problem with Mastodon (ActivityPub) is that your identity is held hostage by your server admin. If your instance goes down or you have a disagreement with the mod, good luck moving. You can migrate followers, but you lose all your posts and history.

ATProto fixes this by decoupling your identity from the server, you can swap servers without losing anything.

Also, Bluesky has truly customizable algorithms instead of being forced into the chronological view or whatever the instance admin decided.
