@stefano @ricardo the article mentioned the FreeBSD subreddit and The FreeBSD Forums.

Yorick Peterse shared his post in the sub, where it was very well-received. Pictured: insights that are not visible to the public (I very rarely share such things, doing so seems harmless on this occasion).

No mention of Discord, Twitter, or X.

Also pictured: the wiki for FreeBSD Discord very recently cautioned that the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct can not be enforced. I do not imagine that this caution relates to any recent misconduct there …

FUCK "CIVILITY"

too often is civility used as a cudgel to punish queers for speaking up against mistreatment

you expect us to be model minorities and never "make waves" and never get a little annoyed or upset or hurt when someone disrespects us or invalidates our identity

but that person who misgendered us or said something lowkey transphobic or whatever is totally okay saying the bullshit they said because you're too fucking blinded by your own privilege to see the hostility in it

it's the classic case of a bully slyly provoking you to respond so you get in trouble with the teacher

i see this on #lemmy and #reddit and other shithole corners of the internet a lot

CIVILITY IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN QUEER JUSTICE. CISHET COMFORT IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN QUEER RIGHTS. CIVILITY IS NOT THE END-ALL-BE-ALL OF HUMAN INTERACTION

Elon Musk was the face of DOGE, but records show that Russ Vought, Trump’s budget chief, played a key role in guiding DOGE behind the scenes.

Tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET, head to Reddit to ask our reporter Andy Kroll about Vought’s influence over the Trump presidency: https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1o8zj92/im_andy_kroll_a_propublica_reporter_i_just/

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.

Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

@irelephant

great!

i love how you repeat the cultish devotion to promise over reality

truly wonderful

#bluesky is #centralized. not technologically, but in implementation

and yet it is your feverish irrational devotion to "maybe someday!" over the simple reality that true #decentralization is already here, for years, on #mastodon/ #fediverse

"but i got it working!"

yes, and i implemented #reddit's code and i'm running a clone of reddit so reddit is not centralized! gotcha!

🤦

cultists

@phillycodehound I cry inside every time I do a search on The Internet and the top results are filled with #Reddit links...

...but if they were Lemmy links...

@pluralistic While my experience pales in the scale to your (as usual, amazing) article, I experienced #solar #enshittification firsthand:

My installer bolted a third party #Sunpower charging monitor to my house, which worked great to see what my hourly/daily/yearly output was until Sunpower went bankrupt and was bought out by Enphase, who, you guessed it, wants me to pay a subscription fee to see the same monitoring data. Fuck that.

Fortunately, (#Reddit to the rescue): The data from the microinverters goes through my router, and someone found a hack:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SunPower/comments/12w8rqs/sunpower_monitoring_not_accurate_compared_to_meter/

All I need to do is implement the hack and I get my data back, then reconfigure the router to cut off Enphase! Its like #UnauthorizedBread but for solar.

Tech companies including WhatsApp and streaming giant Twitch could be among more than a dozen sites added to Australia's social media ban for under-16s, the country's regulator said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/24/tech/whatsapp-twitch-australia-ban/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #whatsapp #twitch #australia #socialmedia #apps #reddit #roblox

I keep forgetting that I am a moderator on Reddit's /r/oslo and not once have I abused that authority to promote oslo.town

All equally good questions. Not only do these too have perfectly usable Free Code replacements, they're also decentralised.

For Discorpse/ Telegrim there's XMPP and Matrix apps, and public rooms can be made available via both (and IRC). For dReddit, there's Lemmy and PieFed, which federate over ActivityPub, making them part of the fediverse.

It's been amazing to watch people see the #meme #4chan#Reddit iceberg of the shooters life being described as "leftists" as if #Groyer and right on right violence doesn't exist.

Here's the leader of the #Goyers, Nick Fuentes, on #CharlieKirk a month ago:
