What's YOUR excuse for not using the new decentralized, FOSS, anti-Nazi Twitter killer?
I like Nazis.
>>59738924
That name will make sure it never takes off
>>59738924
If it's decentralised wouldn't that mean Nazi communities can still pop up?
>>59738924
>anti-Nazi
But I like Nazis.
I think you need to go back to your safe-space, fuckboi.

So what they mean is the site is full of degenerate lefties, probably antifa and Hillary/Soros fangirls? Gotcha.
>>59738998
Pretty much this. Go fuck yourself OP.
>inb4 >>>/pol/
You don't have to be a /pol/tard to hate echochambers where every other opinion is "literally hitler".

I like the idea of this, its the cripplechan/reddit model of decentralized communities applied to twitter. Also it would be cool having a "4chan network" happening where trump shitposting is not a bannable offence. Of course I'm not gonna touch it until someone makes one

>its the cripplechan/reddit model of decentralized communities applied to twitter
A better comparison would be e-mail. cripplechan and reddit are still centralized.
>>59739185
Yeah, you're right. From what I can tell it's closer to a mailing list.
>>59738992
Yes, but instances that have too low a signal-to-noise ratio will soon find themselves blocked by the rest of the network. Nothing stops nazis from creating their own cliques of course, but they don't gain the benefit of federation, and so can only impotently rage in their own corners
I for one welcome an end to the liberal cowardly way sites like reddit, twitter and 4chan are "moderated"
>>59739110
Except 4chan and reddit are centralized, and both 4chan and the other one depend on the annoyance that is cloudflare
>>59738924
so many nazi sympathizers in this thread. thankfully your days are numbered.
>>59739291
>thankfully your days are numbered
We're just getting started.
>>59739291
Sure thing, kiddo.
>>59738924
I don't have a for a public one way communication.
>>59739427

Found a decent-looking Mastadon "instance" that's about free speech
https://sealion.club/main/all
Looks like they were cut off from the rest of the main Mastodon communities because of this
>>59738924
Why can't foss ever have a good name and logo. They sometimes have a good name, and rarely a good logo. But You will hardly ever see both.
This is a case of horrible name, also I am not sure what the Mastodon has to do with anything apart from being a completely random mascot.
Is Mastodon just GNU social? Where is the difference?
I prefer gs.smuglo.li because I can find material to fap so easy.
>>59739659
>shit-stain instance blocked
in other words: the system works
>>59739699
it's a separate ostatus implementation. same protocol, different code
>>59738924
0 userbase, and the ones that do exist are commie freetards.
>>59738924
>What's YOUR excuse
I don't have Twitter. I don't have Facebook. I do have a Parascope account - which is owned by Twitter - so I can watch cute asians from time to time.
Can I watch cute asians live on Mastodon?
>>59738992
>If it's decentralised wouldn't that mean Nazi communities
This would be a good thing. It would be great.
I don't care what your opinion is as long as you have the possibility to be heard and to share your opinion. Free speech for all, including nazi's. This doesn't mean I have to listen to or read nazi opinion but I strongly believe they should have the right to have one.
>>59738998

This appears to be an accurate description of the Google HQ and their products, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook and a lot of other things.

This isn't a problem if it's truly centralized and grows. I'm not sure how it works but I suspect that each "island" can pick who they communicate with. Eventually smart users will go to those islands who do communicate with others and feminists and leftists and the likes will get to have their own little isolated island where they can echo their feelings.
>>59739737
>I prefer gs.smuglo.li
oh thanks!! that looks highly relevant to my interests
>>59738924
>why aren't we using it
because it restricts freedoms (See: no nazis)
>>59739327
Next will start post frogs and say you are be oppressed?
>>59738924
How would you go about creating a network for this?
>no nazis
So we only will can mock the sjws?
>>59739756
Hm, but what makes it stand out from GNU Social? All I can see so far is that their main instance censors shit just like Twitter does.
>requires javascript
>>59739978
>>59738924
I use https://unsafe.space instead, which has access to the GNUsocial network anyways while running postActiv instead of Mastodon.
Mastodon looks nice but the community is just bad.
>>59738924

well there you go
all cis white males are nazis OF COURSE im not wanted

>>59740026
It's got a pretty UI, which actually is nice.
Free speech = angry white nerds spouting racist nonsense all day long
>>59741002
Get raped and kill yourself, you dumbshit fucking nigger.
>>59741030
how come mods are letting 10 year olds post here?
>>59741002
It seems to have some rules actually.
