Ok, here's a blog post that transcludes an example of Maciej's transphobia from last year: https://schwarztech.net/snippets/oh-look-misplaced-transphob...
Thanks, this shifts a bit how I think of Maciej. :-/ And to think of all the money I funneled into the great slate!
Not sure if I understand where the complaint is coming from. Sounds like he was simply reminding everyone that you have to take one opinion or another. The term for those people who want to prohibit dissent is “fascist”.
Feel free to break it down for me though if you want since I can’t understand the issue, maybe it’s my learning disability.

#53The design of Pinboard exists in a similar but self hosted service called linkding [1]. I've been self hosting with Docker for a few years with no issues I can recall. Just checked and it does have the responsive forms as well. [1]: https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding
Cool! Is there a straightforward way to import your Pinboard?
Pinboard: Settings -> Backup -> "HTML (legacy Netscape format almost everyone can read)"
Linkding: Settings -> General -> Import "Import bookmarks and tags in the Netscape HTML format. This will execute a sync where new bookmarks are added and existing ones are updated."
The stuff in quotes is verbatim from the admin panels, I have not tried it.

#54https://urligram.com here, del.icio.us-like social bookmarking platform that we have been maintaining for a while as a side project.
We never marketed it properly, although it is publicly available and actively maintained.
Current main features are private/public bookmarks, tags, individual lists and shared lists, as well as extensions for Firefox and Chrome.
We will launch soon nested lists and RSS support for lists and user bookmarks.
If you have any question of feedback ping us at hello@urligram.com :)

Seems unlikely that someone with this profile [0] would be an oligarch booster. It seems more likely that it's about Maciej's slow rightwards shift [1]. [0] https://www.gyford.com/phil/about/ [1] https://bsky.app/profile/anildash.com/post/3lhkkre2h422z
I encourage curious people to dig in to what [1] is referring to, and form their own opinion.
i "dug in" and yes you boosted Singal, an odious rancid little person

I think I got a couple sternly worded emails that sounded like "I can't make you pay, but you should pay now".
It was a single email, in 2022, and the wording was exceptionally friendly! (For those who don't know, the site moved to a subscription model in 2015 and I asked old-timers to consider converting their account voluntarily. Everyone who chose not to still has a lifetime membership to the site.)
I am sorry if I misinterpreted this - I guess it's subjective. I'm not going to dig through old mails now but I'll take your word for it.

Thanks for that!

Why not link to the boosted Singal post instead of to someone saying it’s super bad?
Because the "boosted Singal post" is a retweet of Singal saying this about the Onion: "There's still some good onion but when it's cringe it's so cringe I want the old onion back" That's it. That's my alleged rightward shift. Singal is considered a suppressive person on Bluesky and agreeing with him on anything is prima facie evidence of fascism. But I think this attitude says more about Anil and Bluesky than about m…
There's still that:

Maciej is another "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"-type pundit - a.k.a. "smart-ss". He is sometimes right (his analysis of website obesity), sometimes completely wrong (he argued at length during the COVID pandemic that Belarus was doing something right, when it was obvious from the beginning that it was just a dictatorship cooking numbers - confirmed by post-analysis that shows abnormal rounding and other a…
I think we could use more people like your description of him, frankly. There’s way too many zombies on the internet that have a societal need to be called out or corrected, Maciej style. It’s not like this guy is a VC funded hack that takes orders for virtually every corporate policy decision while being prohibited from being brutally honest, or even plainly honest. Let him cook, even if he is a Democrat.
"Competitive pisstake" is a big contributor of the current intellectual rot and widespread hypocrisy.

Thank you! Linkding has everything I wanted from Pinboard (a bit nicer interface :)). I just set it up, imported everything from Pinboard, and will probably be happy.
