Making the Fediverse more resistant to embrace, extend, extinguish
Scholar Social has had the following in its Terms for the last ~ 8 months:
> Scholar Social will suspend any instance launched, acquired or funded by Alphabet, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Elsevier.
Does your instance have a similar policy?
Please do not reply until after you have read and understood the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
I don;t think Jack Dorsey understands. We don't want Twitter -anywhere- in our lives, we don't want it to be better, we want it to burn to the ground with Jack Dorsey nailed to a cross.
The only reason people who aren't chuds or nazis use Twitter still is because a) they don't have much of a choice if they want to connect with friends b)popularity/marketing. I can respect (a), but if you stick around Twitter because of (b), please do us all a favour and pull your head out of our ass.
Twitter has no real incentive to use ActivityPub
1. They don't control ActivityPub. Anything added/modified to the protocol will be seen as Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
2. No Fediverse instance will federate with them so it won't matter to them. Well, no one with common sense, which I hope covers most sysadmins
3. DRM is coming to a TL near you. Think of HDMI "proto-cables" connecting "producers" and "consumers"
4. Money (See no. 3). Want in? Here's a federation key with your subscription fee

The cops will gladly use any tool that declares that you are guilty, regardless of its validity.

This just reminds me of back when I was in my late teens, how I wanted to get a keyboard for making music with and to learn an instrument, and I was flat out shut down and yelled at by my late mother for even asking.
Being able to just practice and play on the keyboard means a lot to me than I thought it would. ;w;

It's great to hear of more people deradicalizing and deprogramming from this poisonous hatred endemic to fascism : https://twitter.com/IGD_News/status/1202290160794292225?s=19
