So very tempting to post in every single Mastodon-related thread emphasizing it's Mast O don, not Mast A don.
More proof we are living in the Berenstain Bears universe, forever disconnected from our original Berenstein universe.

Uh no. Counter.social broke themselves off of the federation. Also: your Mastodon admin could well be someone you know personally, rather than @jack.
> Counter.social broke themselves off of the federation. Ah, assuming that's true this is the first I'd heard. My guess is that we'll see more of this as a handful of instances dominate and (in at least some cases) consolidate. My point about @jack is that, for now, you're trading one benevolent dictator for many. The result is a Tower of Babel of moderation and federation standards. Maybe that's a feature and not a…
I think it's a feature. Benevolent dictators motivated mostly by what's most likely to pay rent in the Bay Area are not very benevolent in practice.

I run a Mastodon instance and I sure am not blocking counter.social and I sure do not see a single toot from them anywhere in my database. Mr. Actual The Jester followed me for a day or two and then just vanished from federation along with the rest of his instance.

do you know how many queer furries are on mastodon right now holy crap, that is definitely a community Also um I think pretty much the entire fediverse is free of ads right now.
Twitter as a media form to participate with the choir in the ether is perhaps more suitable to you than hacker news.

I can't help but notice that you, complaining about “free speech”, have “88” at the end of your name. Wonder what kind of speech (which you only defend by its supposed legality) you're concerned about being banned.
You say that as if supporting free speech was somehow part of the nazi platform.
Free speech is of course not something fascists want, but they will weaponise it to their own ends while it exists in law or in concept.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what AJAX is. I have no idea what you are getting at with the political rambling about metadata and Trump.
Perhaps, but I know the implications of javascript. This allows mouse and keyboard events from the browser and is the most insecure language known. What concerns Trump is merely that this technically allows political manipulation by having a short and cheap route to be able to do just that.
