Write free as in FREEDOM software

Who cares? He can't whine and complain but he can't do anything. The software is free as in freedom. Being a maintainer/BDFL means you must accept that eventually people will do things with your software that you disagree with. I think Gab is complete garbage but even I know this.

However he also is the admin of the main instance which brings him patreon bucks. It's still perfectly fair game for him to discourage use of other sites that will try and cut into his funding, close out any bugs they report, etc. No other site is entitled to him giving them free support and publicity.

friends don't let friends open source. open source: not even once. you deserve everything thats coming to you.

I don't think they're asking for any of that.
And they mentioned mastadon is written in a few different languages but mostly nodejs, and they're going to re-write those parts so it's completely nodejs.

>wanting more schools and churches to get shot up by extremist trumpets
Okay

why does he look so fuck-up?

This.

>>try to stop people you don't like from using it
Where is he trying to do that?

Oh so it's a dodge to loot the community and get around AGPL. That makes even more sense why he would want nothing to do with them.

What are you on about? Bill Gates has to spend even more of his time causing fights and trashing competitors in the press. Proprietary software makes it worse, not better.

So let's get the school kids be killed by negros and Muslims right? That's progressive.

All of those people should be in jail. The only one who should not be in jail is me, because I am correct and right 100% of the time, and everyone else is wrong. I am especially correct when I make offtopic posts about politics on a technology board, even when there is a politics board one click away on this very site that I could easily post on!

gates-
now he's all for freedom
having locked it down for 25 years or so, with shit
destroyed anything decent

fuck gates
fuck github

>bootlicker cares about decentralization
Why? Is it just because it's not his favorite brand of boots in power?

You're missing his point. He's not planning to sue Gab for using free software, he's only warning people to ignore Gab if necessary. Don't be deliberately retarded.

sure he's out
because he got out when the steaming pile of crap that he created became 'boring' too much hard work (no structure, no design), so now hes a philanthropist

its gates, its the 'open letter to hobbyists' (read about that). the proprietisation of zero innovation, the copyright of thin air

gates/github/microsoft is the enemy of freedom

do not use github
use an alternative

fuck microsoft
they have destroyed many people, many great innovators, for the average crap, the low iq thugs who want their shitty fucking spreadsheets, nothing else

remember kiddies,
in the world of microsoft, it's always 1987

its stuck there

Wait, doesn't that mean the puritans in Gab will be able to see all the loli/shota porn that's posted on Mastodon?
I wonder how they would react to such degeneracy.

Wait what? Whenever I go to mastadon it is all just socjus shit.

he's literally telling everyone to block gab faggot
>not being a pedophile is being a puritan

pawoo (pixiv's server) is full of art and lewds

>he's literally telling everyone to block gab faggot
Who gives a fuck. Gab can still use Mastodon because it's free software. It's just that everyone will ignore them.

Do I need an acct to browse?

they're probably going to make up some bullshit reason
it's not like they're even hosting it this time, but they will no doubt block them
I hope they're called out for it.
doesn't sound like they're ignoring them to me

You can see public posts in the main page, but you'll need an account (it can be a pixiv account) for pretty much everything else.
Honestly, I simply bookmark the accounts of the artists I follow.

they have RSS feeds for accounts
that's what I use desu

>doesn't sound like they're ignoring them to me
He literally says that Gab could federate if they want.

>ALRIGHT GUYS WE NEED TO PREPARE
>GET READY TO BLOCK AND BAN
>WE CAN'T LET THESE NAZIS ON OUR PLATFORM
nice ignoring dude

>be gab
>mobile apps get shoah'd
>implement a subset of the masterdon protocol to get around it so you can use masterdon apps
>masterfags get upset
This is an all-win situation

>WE CAN'T LET THESE NAZIS ON OUR PLATFORM
Makes sense. Why would you want those parasites to infect your platform. What's the problem here?

>He literally says that Gab could federate if they want.
He doesn't, why do you lie so much faggot?

pathetic

What does "federate" mean?

>check Gab because I don't know about it
>it's just the usual Jow Forums faggotry but now with Twitter's ugly UI
Honestly, I expected something more interesting.

I don't really give a shit, gab is doing it to bypass app store bans.
The mastadon guy can do whatever he wants, but passing it off as "oh, let's just ignore" when he has hundreds of posts about it is silly.

I'll spell it out for you. Gab can use Mastodon's server code and no one can stop them. If Gab plans to integrate with other nodes, they'll be blocked by the admins of those nodes. Gab can still run their own independent node.

Have you heard of something called free software before?

>If Gab plans to integrate with other nodes, they'll be blocked by the admins of those nodes. Gab can still run their own independent node.
Even if everyone else doesn't block Gab they (Gab) don't plan to include them in their feed.

>I'll spell it out for you.
Suck a turd, idiot.
I know exactly what's happening.
My point is you're trying to pass it off as ignoring, when it's clearly not. It's a hissy fit and a call to block them from all nodes and make them inaccessible from all mastadon apps.
I don't even particularly like gab, and they're most likely going to be hypocrites and ban loli nodes from their shit.

The entire point of the post is that they're NOT ignoring gab.
They're seething.

get fucked basedboi faggot
this always happens in discussions about freedom of speech and censorship

it's constant gaslighting and deception from both sides of their cocksucking mouths

I mean I would just say "fuck you i will block you because i dont believe in freedom of speech lol"

gay as hell

>Freedom of speech means that serious discussion is not allowed and instead you must listen to idiots spew garbage and trolling 24/7
No

>that picture
Kek. So he is refusing to federate, not because he's being stopped, but to virtue signal.

So you're just arguing semantics. Got it.

Not an argument. :^)

literally literally doing what i just said again

you guys are cringy as hell, yawn

>arguing semantics
No one here is doing that

>Intentionally shitpost in a place where shitposting isn't welcome
>People call you out on it
>"Lmao see I said you would do that!!! Tricked you xD"

You aren't funny

This meme is true for a reason. Tech attracts more autistic unlovable virgin faggots than anything else.

Where is the politics board on 4channel.org?
4channel.org has never had a politics board.

Of course the Mastodon community would get butthurt about this. Its not even an exaggeration to state that the vast majority of Mastodon instances are for Communist LARP groups, Furries trading animal abuse videos, or just full on pedo shit. Thats what the platform is 99.99999%. The Boomer Republican audience of Gab is an existential threat to them.
The retard trolling ITT is a pedo by the way.

There already are several right wing mastodon instances. Gab can just federate with those.

Though it saddens me that boomer republicans are just as pathetic as SJWs and need to beg these tech startup panhandlers for their own hugbox. Doing this will not "make america great again", it will make it worse.

it's the same people retard

But I thought socjus hated loli? They are censoring all the vidya.

This is so confusing.

You just now started to question that?

1) Gab's certified Twitter account literally taunts Mastodon by claiming bringing features (e.g. post-quoting) that always lowered the content quality in order to increase the traffic, bringing more metadata and more user tailoring. Gab are and will always be the real assholes here.

2) Gab's apps have been banned from both Apple and Android marketplaces and they made a dogwhistle for every single Mastodon user, developer, and sysadmin by implicitly saying they would use ours, either using unpaid work for their greedy corporation or making them suspended. That's about as much respect Gab's CEO has for people in general, including, of course, his own community.

the Commons Clause does not have this problem

I'm a little bit familiar with the matter by mentoring a disabled student and that's not how it works.

you do not want me to start talking about black crime and islamic terrorism...

>Though it saddens me that boomer republicans are just as pathetic as SJWs and need to beg these tech startup panhandlers for their own hugbox.
they wouldn’t need to if they didn’t keep getting banned from everyone. It isn’t a hugbox as much as having a single site they can all be on.

You know it just struck me. Whats the difference really?
I mean some people allow you to use software in exchange for money
These guys allow you to use software in exchange for you convincing them that you deserve it. Really, they are the same?

We have already heard all your boring ass Jow Forums talking points already, we don't care.

Same shit happened to all the furfags and weeaboo pedos which is why they congregated there. A hugbox is a hugbox.

Not true because free software also needs to be paid for. The guy in OP gets paid for his work.

mastodon is a left wing echo chamber used only by insufferable "kode witches". gab is a right wing echo chamber used only by insufferable trumpfags.

who knows, maybe the gab instance will be fully open or maybe they will have their own block list or maybe it won't federate at all.

>We have already heard all your boring ass Jow Forums talking points already, we don't care.
>we have already heard about the boring reality and we do not care.

>Everything I read on a mongolian embroidery forum is 100% true and real
Get a grip

He drinks Söylent .and his wifes bull beats him.

>maybe the gab instance will be fully open
Doubt it. See

wow you have an OPINION!? GET THIS MANIAC OFF YOUR DNS AT ONCE! Free speech? HA you MASTURBATE to FREEDOM YOU INCEL

The paedo fears the nazi

He is now claiming the right to decide who is on the platform based on ideology

this changes mastadon from a platform, to a curated platform

this means he is in agreement with everything using mastadon that he doesn't specifically name going forward

What is gab and what is Mastodon

>What is gab
a free-speech alternative to twitter
>what is Mastodon
an anti free-speech social media platform based on the block-chain, which is now openly anti free-speech but implicitly not anti child porn

>an anti free-speech social media platform based on the block-chain
what the fuck are you talking about? mastodon is not based on the blockchain, is based on federated servers with traditional databases. also, most instances encourage banning lolicon, but it's up to the server owner to decide what to allow.

>what is gab
closed twitter alternative that never took off outside of right/libertarian leaning political circles
>what is mastadon
tumblr but distributed and with more furries

>nothing is real everything is permitted
Not this edgy shit again.

>Social credit system
Excuse me but what the actual fuck? A system like China's?

The instance I'm on is pretty apolitical.

90% of mastodon users are in Japan and don't care about nazis or commies.

Social media is a blight. Nothing good ever comes from increasing the presence of your personal identity over computer networks.

Codified? yes. But facebook already had likes and friends so in essence it already exists in the west, its called social media.

Sorry completely forgot about this thread.
8ch DOT net SLASH tech SLASH res SLASH 1050200 DOT html

and 83% of Jow Forums are indian

It's the opposite. Gab banned loli/shota fr their site and blocked pro-loli/shota accounts from twitter. Gab fears the cunny.

It doesn't sound that bad
>EUNOMIA uses a positive-first approach, where the veracity of content is assessed continuously, via user crowdsourcing, over time. In a verifiable way, the origin and path of each bit of content is checked, and information cascade paths are assessed and visualised to the user.
>Once trust is attached to paths, the content along them are similarly assigned levels of trustworthiness. Citizen participation is actively encouraged in content verification by voting on content trustworthiness. The aim is that the users will take ownership of the problem of disinformation, not to rely on third party fact-checkers or computer software to do it for them.
>Eunomia offers the means to any social media user to find out who first generated a piece of information; if and how it changed from origin to destination; and how others perceive it. EUNOMIA creates a social media companion that makes this information visible on new forms of decentralised media because of the privacy-first outlook of their communities, their open-source and transparent nature, and the technological challenge that they entail. EUNOMIA's technologies will be tested in specifically created new instances of Mastodon and Diaspora.
It's crowdsourced fact-checking

aka something Jow Forums supports any time a right wing person proposes

Thats terrible.

That's literally never happened. Citation needed.

So everyone votes "true" on something "false" and it becomes true. Sounds like a seed for the Ministry of Truth

Why are freeze peach tards always hypocrites?

>"openly anti free-speech"
>can easily set up your own instance but other instances can block you, e.g. if you federate with furry instances and then post a bunch of anti-furry shit
Annoying but understandable, why would you want to federate with a bunch of furries if you don't like them.

>"a free-speech alternative to twitter"
>banned for saying anything negative about the current US president, even when he betrays his own constituents
I'm sorry but this is literal fascism.

to them free speech is only nice speech. They dont understand freedom of speech isnt there to protect speech we all like.

>What is gab
american rightwing circlejerk twitter ripoff, they try to look like they support free speech while being the typical reddit/facebook tier faggots who ban anything they don't like
>what is Mastodon
self hosted twitter ripoff, most instances are people posting furry porn or loli/shota

Gab also banned loli/shota from their network and Dissenter (property of Gab) banned the word nigger when they were trying to be allowed in Mozilla's store.

There's a difference between trying to deny a FOSS license to people you don't like (e.g. MikeeUSA's autism crusade) and trying to deny your hosted software to people you don't like. Someone using your FOSS code doesn't impact you, while someone leeching your bandwidth does.

>can easily set up your own instance but other instances can block you

That's exactly how society works IRL, doesn't it? You have the right to be a piece of shit, but other people have the right to not talk to you.

now imagine somebody doesn't like you, so tells everyone in town lies about you and not to do business with you, suddenly the bank closes your account, you are banned from the local stores and bars. all places you have never been
