I shall say, “authwalled Twitter” was not on my bingo card this week.
@madcoder it's not a glitch? I was wondering
@madcoder kinda happy for a reason to stop going there and hate-surfing the fucking abysmally bad content, tbh
@elfprince13 @madcoder @dev @steve not that anyone asked but I'm avoiding it on the "almost certainly another twitter" principle
@regehr @elfprince13 @madcoder @steve getting there, that is the inevitable arc for it
@dev @elfprince13 @madcoder @steve "we own your ass, stop fucking complaining already"
@dev @elfprince13 @madcoder @steve I mean I'm just assuming that's what it means
@regehr @elfprince13 @madcoder @steve whenever I get "we've updated our terms" email I always assume it is either that they're selling more data, or forcing third party arbitration, or both.
@dev @elfprince13 @madcoder @steve "your data was sold to the highest bidder long ago and also -- really sorry -- we own your firstborn"
@elfprince13 @dev @madcoder @steve I know I know but I'm still not doing it
@regehr @elfprince13 @dev @steve I’m with you. Old farts unite!
@elfprince13 @dev @madcoder @steve staahp I'm sticking to my guns here
@regehr @elfprince13 @dev @madcoder @steve Don't worry, Masto will soon be implementing what Facebook wants.
@elfprince13 @madcoder @regehr @steve to quote someone, I'm not irony- poisoned enough for that platform
@elfprince13 @regehr @dev @madcoder @steve bluesky federation is still hypothetical, isn’t it?
@madcoder @steve @dev @regehr @overstrike it’s supported at protocol level, the server is open source, the client already supports arbitrary servers, and they just spun up a test net for federation
@elfprince13 @regehr @dev @madcoder @steve I must be in the minority because I never use the algorithmic discovery stuff anywhere. When I do, it's "here's some garbage! You love garbage!"
I'll be my own raccoon, thank you very much.
@elfprince13 @madcoder @regehr @steve I have a bunch if folks want them but I refuse to betray discuss dot systems
