It's time to dump gab Jow Forums

Gab is nonfree software
Gab is run by a manchild neck beard
Gab is anti free speech (twitter post calling anime pedophillic)
So what could I use instead user?
The fediverse, whats that I hear you ask.
It's a decentralised network, you can run your own instance from a VPS. You can talk to anyone in the network.
You have a choice of Pleroma, Mastodon or GNU Social when it comes to running a server or choosing a instance.
pleroma.social
joinmastodon.org
What instances do you reccomend user?
animeisgay.com
niu.moe
pl.smuglo.li
These all respect free speech and use common sense for rules.

>Gab
At first I thought this was /v/ related stuff.

thanks for your links i cant wait to have a chat with woke pedos like yourself

smug's pleroma never remembers my login between sessions, its inconvenient to re-login every time.

powerful......

I honestly find it funny how they are getting called out for being a anti free speech site.
The gab refugees on the fediverse so far have been good with some shitty ones.

>Caring about social media at all.
I have no time for Jow Forums's twitter fork.
I spend my "social" online quotas shitposting anonymously. It arguably serves more utility than having an account because I can
(1) ignore things I don't like without social pressure "not to be a jerk"
(2) be openly clueless about stuff I don't master
(3) speak my mind without making it easy to doxx me afterwards
(4) put things in boxes (e.g programming in /dpt/, gardening in /out/'s /homegrownmen/, gym related in Jow Forums and so on) since it's more about "what is discussed" than "who is discussing it"

Good for you, I knew it would turn into a ultra censored shithole run by Jow Forums from the start

Wasn't that the point though?
Isn't it Jow Forums's reaction to twitter after twitter's "hate speech" became "whatever offends sjws"?
My only use for twitter is keeping up with what my javfu is doing and interaction with Jow Forums is occasional lurking to have a vague idea what they're up to.

this

the fediverse has both kinds of people
Gab is full of larping or NPC's

autism in action

Anyone choosing a centralized solution when switching to a new platform in this day and age shouldn't be allowed to complain about anything when their shut ultimately becomes garbage.

I'm on Pawoo, it's great. My favorite artist even started following me!

>read about mastodon
>get excited about its federation
>read more
>half the instances just block every instance it doesn't like

what the fuck is the point of federation if you can just blanket block half the network? If I'm on one server and a friend is on another, I have to pray that some overzealous mod didn't think it their duty to make sure no one can interact with eachother.

Good to hear user, I follow some bots from there

find a free speech instance like the ones I put above.

activitypub just has to solve the spam issue all over again that email solved 15 years ago -- turns out the answer was centralisation around a few big providers and a combination of blocking rules and user-specific blocks.

>You have a choice of Pleroma, Mastodon or GNU Social when it comes to running a server or choosing a instance.
There's a lot more, check the ActivityPub column in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

if your friend joins an instance with mods like these, it's only a matter of time until he gets banned by those people
also, those shit instances that block half the fediverse are only a minority of mastodon instances, though it doesn't help that mastodon.social, the flagship instance, is one of them

>muh spam
I haven't seen any yet on my anything goes instance.

the fediverse is pretty small for now, so it isn't an issue yet

Thats why you dont use those instances

I also found this, I signed up to a couple different mastodon instances just to test it out, and like half the shit I wanted was blocked.

I'm generally against centralization, but federation cannot be the answer when instances will inevitably end up being run by autistic faggots who will censor you worse than twitter

I have an account with Pawoo but it's blocked by quite a few instances.

Most free speech instances get blocked by the snowflakes
Theres proof of it here
encyclopediadramatica.rs/Pleroma

>and like half the shit I wanted was blocked.
Which is why instances.social/ exists.
>but federation cannot be the answer when instances will inevitably end up being run by autistic faggots who will censor you worse than twitter
Let network effects do their thing and see which type of instance ends up winning in the end.

any unsolicited and/or unwanted message fits the classification of spam, the "problem" of instances blocking other instances is the blunt instrument that admins currently use to keep unwanted messages out. if the fediverse takes off you'll have to deal with automated spam, but it is pragmatic to find a solution before things get to that point.

i'm pretty sure what will happen is 2-3 non-jap instances get really big, they partner up to make their rules and blocklists similar, and they become the defacto face of the fediverse. they get acquired by google, facebook or microsoft and gain massive resources at the expense of user privacy, which even then nobody cares about.

>Gab is anti free speech (twitter post calling anime pedophillic)
>niu.moe
>pl.smuglo.li
Holy fucking shit you anime posters just can't stop seething. This is really sad. How is having an opinion on anime "anti free speech"? Stop trying to get clout from your water marked memes on your sekrit klub sites, and get a fucking job, you pathetic basement dwellers.

I work as a dishwasher and am looking for a job as a IT tech

Exactly, eventually you will have an oligopoly of instances who will block competing, smaller instances with the justification of removing spam or other easily dismissable content. You'll end up in the same place you are now with twitter, facebook, and google all colluding to remove specific types of content. We need true decentralization, not federation

Like small instances could just not block each other and we could block the corperate ones

Smuglo is owned by a Jewish anarcho-communist tranny who is also a mod on the leftist version of Jow Forums on ledditchan. Avoid it, he goes into rage when his users post yuri unless the pictures are of prepubescent girls.

It still defeats the purpose of a decentralized open platform. Most of the instances being silenced by other instances are people who do not like that the instance refuses to block people who have opinions they dislike. The whole thing is splintering off into various forms of political extremist instances instead of an open uncensored alternative to mainstream social media.

Gab is filled with neonazis and boomers, there is absolutely no valuable discourse to be had there.

>there is absolutely no valuable discourse to be had there
That's not unique to gab, twitter and facebook are the exact same

>surprised there are boomers on social media
>implying having nazis on your platform is a bad thing

I wish zoomers could ban the boomers from the internet

I wish there was a technical barrier to entry to keep the mouthbreathers offline.

>Gab is anti free speech (twitter post calling anime pedophillic)
What does this have to do with free speech?
Anime is pedophilic.
