  4. SHITPOSTERS OF THE FEDIVERSE
     
    Following up on my tag-happy post from the other day, I have created a starter pack with fedidevs which will allow you to bulk-add everyone in the starter pack, which should be much more convenient. Please note that you will need to (at least temporarily) allow it access to your account, but rest assured that this is trusted resource in the fediverse. You can revoke access after the adds. As always, if you’d like to be removed, please just let me know.

    This SP is chock-full of poasters that my friends and I follow, many of which have come from bluesky and are looking to reconnect with friends. If you’d like to be added to this pack, please feel free to private message me and The Council will review. Hopefully this will help connect fun, friendly people.

    Users in the pack are tagged in private replies of 10 at a time to cut down on reply-all noise.

    The Starter Pack:

    Update: :alert: It sounds like fuckaas.space is having some performance issues with the load. If you get an error, please try again later!

  5. I just realized: In the current #AI hellscape, it's easy to lose hope.

    BUT we do have a secret weapon.
    A whole army even.
    Born in the public forums of usenet alt.* groups, raised on gaming forums, forged to a weapon on Twitter and trained relentlessly on on Reddit!

    #shitposters THIS is your time to shine!
    Go forth into the wild internet, accept all terms of service, and give your best, because AI will eat your shit up like candy!

    You trained for this! SAVE THE WORLD with what you do best!

  6. Someone should start a database of all the top #shitposters from each #mastodon server.

  7. 📢
    Calling all Fediverse shitposters & trolls!
    📢

    Who wants to organize a good, old-fashioned board raid to infiltrate Truth Social and drive wedges between the enemy?

    Honestly, it shouldn't even be hard & quite fun!

    How'd you like to be a troll...for good!?!

  8. Farting is an essential day to day activity. It helps maintain a healthy lifestyle and keeps bloating away. There are multiple types of farts, but the most common way to categorize them is by the loudness/stinkyness ratio. Essentially, the louder the fart, the less stinky (fully silent farts are the most nocive for surrounding victims). Farting can be enjoyed alone or can be turned into a group activity.

  9. CW: Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...

    (Hope I'm not projecting this)

    Consider it as a work in progress my dear :fediverse: VERSION 2
    (will increment this as I type today) - food for thought...

    Hard to see what you see but I guess you use #Fediverse :fediverse: not much more than a few messages - and probably think "why do I need to more?" and "Not my fault if this place fall apart / dies / gets eaten for the same reasons as seen before (take overs / mergers / invaders etc) -

    "HEY it should all run without my care / attention / participation to it all! "

    TLDR: Below is reasoning of which general group on Fediverse you might fall into (and briefly your mindset / focus which is why you might appear to care whether it's true or not) and also what's going wrong added to under the categories

    All as I see / experienced / experiencing in response to my ideas given in general, responses to my ideas or observations from interactions with others (or lack of) without my involvement. Limited but at least closer to first / second hard without any big stake in it other than doing something about XYZ invasions / potentials / building trust in ourselves...

    ==========================
    TLDR (bit longer - or skip to next section)
    ==========================
    Basically groups of people who moved over from Twitter cold-turkey from rug-pull type stuff or more intentionally and just Fediverse here now in a similar same way (not really building anything and being mostly user /consumer only)...

    and those who *might* realise or not that as time goes on their time here is running out on Fediverse too as and bigger players are simply moving next door / shifting operations (literally Twitter, FB, Meta, Google / Alphabet Group going to dragnet and just move here / use us even more)

    And continue to index the fuck out of us with near no-attempt by admins or users to protect us / themselves / their users from data-scraping / #AI stuff (some we can't see but you know their patterns of profit are undoubted and their existence is their own definition of their own existence ⬅️ yes that's clever )... STOP READING if you don't agree with this.

    STOP READING if you think predators or war makers changed their stripes and now their intentions are much better and it's not that bad, they wouldn't be so cut-throat in the more-civilised ways of playing off people against themselves to gobble us like a Pacman dots all the while... :pacman: ●☻●☻●☻●☻ :pacman: ◌ ◌ ◌ ◌ ◌

    Commercialism's comforts has basically blinded us / made us think it's all ok and doable using their ways.

    Anyway here is more on this:

    =====================
    Groups and basic reasoning why
    =====================

    █"Boys and Toys" (Computers or similar "This is all going to help" or "this is my fun leave me alone")
    █Gamers, FPS shooters - like war playing is ok for so long or ever justified emptying so much time on (we've all been their, now it's time to get out)
    █Hobbiest / Modders / Fiddlers (PC. #Retro. #Retrocomputing, #PCB, #Lights etc)... some genuine hacks we might use "one day" but still their communication is probably limited "like why should I look into anything else other my family and hobbies?"
    #Computing News ("oh wow this could really save the world again" stuff or "oh my god look what they are doing now... let me re-tweet it.... I mean "boost")
    █(etc etc... overall humans who are interacting with non-humans as main material - doing the consumption of time and interaction while not seeing the human sides are lacking as a result - directly communication and therefore #trust #friendship #solidarity #new systems etc - Advanced users can also be just users with users under them as an instance.

    AND ALL here not caring to interact much, few posts back and forth MAX. Not many marathon runners - if you feel bad about this comment you might have been 1 of ?0 I contact during each month directly offering / asking anything and everything to catch a bit of interest, even to dispel any doubts openly.

    Verdict: "Humans are inefficient and imperfect therefore ignore them" / "why try it's futile" types of people)

    █Bourgeois (Too rich or Rich enough upper-middle class - don't want to rock any boats and happy where they are.
    Why spend time on those below me or those non-family people?
    Me talk to non-blood related people or think of "1 love" humanity - naaaa)

    ANSWER: Like Martial Arts halls you can improve the lower belts by training with them and thos that stick around can be like family who then come up and fight with you / teach next calls or generation... it's not business deal always, but if you treat life like that then it will be just buying / selling people... which we know doesn't work well / ignores the mind or general issues of suffering by people...

    Nobody wants to do these things actively apart from a few posts.

    █Alternative sexuality- #Trans #Anime #Fans # #Women #Transgender #rights #Hate #Bigotry #Violence #Genocide #Discrimination #Homophobia #Transphobia #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA ... etc
    People who escaped from masses of others not quite accepting or upto speed...
    More active, vocal and trying that others... probably because their life depends on it and sexuality in danger by those confused by new and strange purely from not having experience / learning from mainstream.

    #Anti #Capitalism #AnarchoCapitalism #Fascism
    +
    #Privacy #Surveillance etc 🚨
    all kind of the same and self explanatory
    ...just some just news echoes or some trying to do it all on their own mostly (which does make sense remember you need lower echelon as cringe as we might be).

    #shitposters #poast #kiwifarms
    A strong potential as already superior in activity and communication (yes even in making sense from things despite profile or server suggesting otherwise). Clever not just in humour or in killing time. A ton of stuff simply to view and ignore without big feelings.

    #War spectators - action watching

    #Politics #uspol Trump #Democracy #canadasrfaright #Equality #Law #Gov #EU etc no need say more - you know why you watch this stuff rather than work on something with us (in the other groups)

    #more to come today... will revise or add new post v soon... follow with notification if important to you (switch off if it's ever bullshit)

    =================
    EXPLAINED STUFF / DISCLAIMER
    (or skip to next section...)
    =================

    I included the word "you" here to make it "a bit more personal" so you question yourself to which category listed you fall in - and ask yourself if I'm approximately right (?).

    It's totally ok to say this to yourself but consider coming out of your zone of comfort.

    Made from first hand experience (attempts) and previous measured bias = a list of groups (on Fediverse but general groups too) who are perhaps not doing enough BUT also doing the opposite to their own ethos sometimes (much like Facebook while anti-Facebook and posting there a lot).

    I estimate these groups as main reasons why for overall relationships / groups / networks are not to my level of expectation (while still leaving room for other group and reasons)

    ==================
    EXAMPLES OF SLACKNESS / NO FIGHTBACK OF EVEN EASY STUFF
    ==================

    Like "no consent" or simple footer for "no permission granted" or "information is not for scraping or used commercially" or CC-BY-SA-NC).

    This includes Eugene / Gargon + my admin @freemo who I've asked a good while back either about Google links here feeding the commercial farms (Gargron) or adding a footer to our particular server (freemo).

    How bad do people want to keep Fediverse and is there enough people to hold it? Right now, as conversation I'm not sure.
    As admins and few conscious yes, but without help of masses and "upgrading" your users then your users are the weak point and we'll just move to the next thing or stick to being "bridged" ( #BlueSkyBridge #BlueSky #Threads )

    I reserve right to correct myself or see if anyone has a good comeback to justify changing this - all is from positive want for better / more reasoning... but my account shows what I've tried a lot... I don't many other to call their account and try for these 'upgrade the weak-points' type of things called users...
    users being just are not enough and we can encourage more!

  10. @ancient_catbus Idk about the others, but I've been wanting to increase the share of #shitposts in my feed relative to my more "serious" interests, and then as if 'twas meant to be, @kolya listed you among Fediverse #shitposters: social.cologne/@kolya/11082088

  11. Give me the best #shitposters of #fediverse. My timeline is way too serious and I need to fill the hole after Apollo’s death.

  12. Just listened to this podcast on #bluesky
    Sounds like Twitter for crypto bros and #shitposters

    I‘m good here!

    Also, how to talk about decentralized social networks and federated servers while not mentioning #mastodon once 🙄

    podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/

  13. @h_tejas

    It's never resonated with me. A paltry character count limit. Even in the #Fediverse those platforms having such restrictions are generally at least 60% #shitposters because there's so little you can do with them except convey just the notion of a single thought, and very constricting to have any real sort of actual conversation.

    Great observation, and I concur.

    "Hey everybody! I'm sitting on my porch picking my nose and eating my burgerz!"

    Great, social media for the vacant.

    .

  14. @james

    That's really interesting.

    I chose that (this) machine because it has no character count limits so I can publish lengthy articles and blog posts - HowTo's, tuts, travel or recipe blogs (you never know, lolz), Etc, where I'm not concerned with #Markdown or other text formats.

    I guess this is 5s glaring testament to the lack of viability of mastodon as any sort of actual community building platform (even mastodon .social doesn't really have any real semblance of community), because I never actually even pay attention to the local timeline here - it's completely irrelevant to me... My #friends in the #Fediverse are scattered across the #diaspora (no pun intended) of the Fediverse (Which, IMO, does include Diaspora, lolz).

    I treat most other servers the exact same, with the exception of SDF, which really is a true community independant of any single platform infrastructure, including Fediverse servers... I do indeed watch my local timeline on our "private" server there quite closely, because other #SDF members are there and there aren't any of those rude #twitugees about. The other SDF Fediverse server is full of self-entitled #shitposters that came along during the so-called, "November Rain", so I filter a lot of those goombahs out of my streams there. I guess that's what it's actually like over on #Twitter.

    If, on the other hand, this particular server is starting to garner a bad reputation, then maybe I should consider looking elsewhere where there are similar technical facilities available.

    After running a public mastodon server for two and a half years (it took a whole year to get everyone to migrate away so I could close that hog down, and then almost three years of running an invite only Pleroma server (such a fricken' dream), it's no real surprise that I view mastodon as a mostly deprecated platform due to lack of innovation and feature adoption (much to the chagrin of the userbase as evidenced in the repo's issue tracker over the years) as well as it's lack of suitability for horizontally based "SmallWeb", self-hosted deployments.

    You can do it, but why, when there are so many other clearly better Fediverse server platforms?

    Don't get me wrong though; mastodon is a good, solid infra upon which to base the deprecated monolithic silo schema -just not until you start to approach the 20,000 user mark. If that's someone's goal, to launch a vertical scaling #monolithic_silo (that only supports plain text and a paltry 500 character count limit per post), then mastodon would be a platform I would wholeheartedly recommend to someone.

    Nah, just kidding! 🤣 I'd still recommend a capable fork like #Hometown or #glitch_social lolz.

    That's just my 2¢ FWIW 🙂

  15. #Shoutout to all the #Shitposters

    I love #Mastodon but if I could make one criticism, I’d say it is currently a little too earnest, a little too straight

    (A shyte load better that all of the alternatives)

    But still, a little earnest . . . slightly too sensible . . .

  20. I feel like I'm slowly bringing in followers that like the following things:

    1. #ttrpgs #cyberpunk specifically
    2. #Shitposters (love y'all)
    3. #Queer Weirds (love y'all +1)
    4. #AntiFascists (Let's wreck shit)

    Feels good.
