Enjoying the sense of space here.

Here's a thought, you can tell much about how your voice is being received based on the size of the room.

Bigger room, you don't know who heard you. Smaller room, everyone heard you.

Immediacy in feedback has different properties in room size. Silence is signal.

We need intrepid explorers to connect us with the best other federations out there.

and by wholesale denial I mean denial by elite and platform owners

if we had tools for nebulous community idenification and then affordances to follow or block i think it would self manage

little denials of network access here and there prevent wholesale denial of network access

pretty convinced this is the way forward

you don't get to keep playing in the most visible sandbox if you piss people off and say droll/dumb/nasty stuff with negative value

coldblooded blocking poa

both amazing and terrifying in that it's so easy to deny network access

this is good actually

oof not enjoying the federated view

@PstafarianPrice remembering our conversation about ideologically aligned economic-partners as a defendable position to have opinions in.

The main threat of lock-in isn't price increases, it's business termination.

Obscured / redundant infrastructure providers as a first defense against attacks on network disconnects.

I wonder if this will go all the way to ISP network-level attacks on right-affiliated data centers.

A mishmash:

Speech probably should be guaranteed at the protocol level.

big tech are either neutral publishing platforms that are insulated from the legal consequences of the speech of its users or they are 'editorializers' that bear the responsibility for what is said by users and users don't really own their own words. Can't have both.

okay thats enuff learning a new platform for one day

besides alt comms, not sure what I want to say here that I don't already say on main, something to think about...

brokn ;-;

I embedded with the embed functionality. How's it gonna go?

It doesn't embed the body of the toot in a thread reply, just the url.

Aw dang qt doesn't seem to work well though. That's kind of a bummer.

Ok, really enjoying the interface actually. Lots of thoughtful little things.

Appreciating the push to get on mastadon and setup alt comms.
