The #Linux distribution Debian just announced that they will be switching Mastodon instance. Why?
"Recent events in the fediverse in general and related to fosstodon.org instance in particular have made me rethink the place where I’d like to handle the Debian account in the fediverse."
What kind of ABSOLUTE HORROR could it be that prompted the Debian distribution to abandon the clearly evil and horrible fediverse instance fosstodon.org?
"Recently, an admin of the Fosstodon Mastodon instance made some comments that were disparaging to marginalized folk. The comment was relating to how they wish that a thicker skin would be adopted by some of the people they called “snowflakes”." bnolet.me/posts/2019/07/implicit-endorsement/
Why would I do that? IBM's subsidiary Red Hat has a distribution called Fedora which suits me just fine.
I kind of recognize the "make your own" stupidity from some retarded fag who likes to defend SJW absurdities. You wouldn't happen to be a GNOME developer, would you?
>Making totally inane statements while posting that picture Fedora is literally an example of some people making their own distro because Red Hat canned RHL. Also, Red Hat employs many GNOME developers.
>oh noes, someone said some words online that hurt my feelings! quickly, lets move to another place. who the fuck cares about these literal snowflakes that think words matter?
Oliver Taylor
fedora is red hat you retard
Christopher Martinez
From the very beginning, Fedora has been run by Red Hat employees as an unofficial test bed for future RHEL development.
If you want "RHEL, but compiled by the community" then you want CentOS or Scientific Linux. Fedora is not that.
Surprise! the PR person of a nonprofit organization is a bit oversensitive. Who cares though? One reason federated networks are great is that you can fuck off from a specific host without being disconnected from the network in its entirety. Also, nice hashtag
Bentley Lopez
What is mastodon and fediverse. Is this some worthless social media shit?
Joseph Kelly
decentralized social media but they are banding together to ban any instance which allows free speech, because muh feelings
Even decentralized shit isn't safe from SJWs.
Liam Clark
>The comment was relating to how they wish that a thicker skin would be adopted by some of the people they called “snowflakes”. >immediately switch server the irony
i dont remember people being this sensitive on the internetz 10 years ago, what went wrong?
Jose Nelson
The change started in 2007 but the full extent of it didn't manifest for a few more years.
Basically the introduction of the iphone and subsequent explosion of touch-screen smartphones with UX designed for toddlers flooded the internet with the sort of people who had never used it before.
Sebastian Reyes
you clearly remember wrong, lmao.
Christopher Ortiz
low IQ normies flooded in and demand everything be censored
Isaac Miller
I’m sure the bulk of the Debian people don’t care, but this is a smart move. In fact if they hadn’t moved, I’d push for them to move instances. Everyone’s gotten hypersensitive, it’s true. Why it happened is irrelevant to the discussion, as that’s for the sociologist majors to figure out and finally justify their worthless degrees. What’s important is that Debian as a nonprofit cannot be seen as even remotely associated with an organization that uses “(((problematic)))” languages, lest they risk financial boycott from the danger-hairs. I’m not happy that the world is this way, but this is a smart move.
Parker Allen
i know user, but i see those kind of thinskinned behaviors from people into computers since the 90's that probably passed their time making holocaust jokes and spamming niggers hate like all people used to do back then, seems strange to me that in less than 10 years people turned into estrogen fueled crybitches.
Nicholas Gomez
What does "fediverse" mean?
What distro's are uncompromised? Besides Gentoo.
Hunter Campbell
whats the colored hairs thing about? i used to have my hair dyed blonde, green, blue, purple and god forbid if i remember them all, and i've always been on the moderate right side of the political spectrum and very far from an SJW snowflake. is this an US thing or what?
Brayden Bell
>Fedora is literally an example of some people making their own distro ALL DISTROS ARE EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE MAKING THEIR OWN DISTROS.
EVERYTHING EVER CREATED BEFORE, AFTER AND DURING THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY WAS "literally an example of some people making their own X."
Nicholas Russell

Zachary Johnson
A lot of people are just social chameleons. They mimic their surroundings, trying to blend in with everybody else. Their only consideration is fitting in with the majority.
jesus.. i pictured a similar situation for the current internet, but didnt know it was THIS bad. its easy to answer how certain behaviors are enforced then, there are only a handful of medium to carefully reform and boom, npcs are domesticated. its scary.
Nicholas Wright
Who the hell knows. It just sort of happened like that here. Maybe it has something to do with conservatives of this country placing undue emphasis on irrelevant shit like hair colors and outward looks rather than an actual ideology. It’s all degeneracy in both ends of the horseshoe.
Robert Cox
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse >The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is the ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting.
basically: -there are many Mastodon instances -you register to whichever you want or prefer based on location, main language, moderation rules etc. -instances are connected in the fediverse allowing you to interact with others on other servers -take down one instance, the rest stays unaffected
Jose Allen
don't install elementary OS, their github logo is still pozzed over a month after homosexual degeneracy month
But where did it come from? Is it attempting to emulate a southern accent, which they now think is sophisticated after the advent of Obongo? Or is a word that they think the working class actually uses since they've only read about them in books and communist fan-fiction?
Wyatt Anderson
LMAO why is the open source community filled with so many tranny faggots and sjws? Apple doesn't have these problems.
Xavier Nelson
>apple doesn't have this problem >microsoft doesnt have this problem
im getting ready for their cultural dominance, you should too
Oliver Reyes
Microsoft has an actual traffic comparable with google? Is that windows updates?
Oliver Taylor
Azure, skype, MSN, hotmail/outlook.com, etc.
Nicholas Thomas
>Mastodon
Who even uses it anymore except trannies and commies circlejerking each other ?
Liam Johnson
Microsoft matters in the business world more than even Google.
Isaiah Martin
remember at the end of 2015 when ian murdock founder of debian was suicided after complaining about police harassment and not backing down from them.
Always makes you think doesn't it...
Michael Morales

Wyatt Cooper
Keeping your natural hair color has always been, well, normal, due to requiring less effort and it literally being what your hair normally is if you don't mess with it. When someone dyes their hair, it's because they want to think they're special and different, more deviant from the rest of the population. It just so happens that a person's deviance favoring the left is more acceptable than a person's deviance favoring the right. Mostly because of the press and what they choose to endorse and make acceptable.
Sebastian Brooks
I hate how liberals have completely butchered the meaning of "snowflake" to mean something completely unrelated.
James White
Why do people tolerate this pathetic bullshit? Why is 'marginalized' shorthand for 'person who thinks they rule you without question'
Josiah Phillips
have sex
Sebastian Bennett
We let women in.
Levi Reed
I have sex regularly and also consider this a problem.
Is . . . is that what you were looking for? wierdo.
Josiah Allen
It's where the left overtook all US subculture. Hell I'm right wing as fuck, used to be goth and have many hair colors back in the late nineties and early-mid 2000s, but then these wierd fucks showed up and started making us all look so bad everyone to the right of Lenin basically put hair dye away forever lest we be accidentally associated with these dipshits.
Joshua Thomas
Smartphones. When we all thought normalfags were ruining the internet in the mid 00s we simply had no idea how bad it was about to get and the reason why is smartphones.
Levi Peterson
Not only do.i have sex ya little faggot I'm even married with kids. Doesn't change the fact that every shitheel who's offended by someonw thinks that's a free pass to tell everyone else what to do without question.
>some guy that listens to fascist 90s punk music is trying to speak for everyone right of Lenin
Brayden Wright
>implying Jow Forums has kids.
Dylan Collins
Ironically more evocative of Nazi Germany
Ethan Walker
you just hated the people you saw as having power and decided your camp based on that in your formative years
not a new story, not a unique story
Lincoln Brooks

Jordan Harris
Not really, but nice try.
Jordan Gonzalez
Is this image trying to claim that MySpace wasn't cancer? Holy shit zoomers with their shitty nolstalgia should kill themselves. Both GeoCities and MySpace contributed to our current centralized internet; instead of using their own PCs as servers, people began making ""sites"" in other people's computers.
Ryan Edwards
1) endless September 2) non-geek women 3) Jews
Jonathan Green
Of course I know that, you retard, I just said that. You're a 90s fascist punk retard who's trying to speak for everyone right of Lenin.
Cooper Brown

Grayson Lewis
thrash metal had all le problematic music
Ryder Bennett
oh, alright
sorry if boiling down your common story offended you
Christian Foster
Cry more delicate white snowflake. This must be why intellectually superior whites, who single handedly built civilization and technology, are cattle for Jews.
keep running away until you have nowhere left to run, great plan! that's worked SO WELL so far
Start fucking killing them.
also; >only people capable of making an entire linux distro by themselves deserve freedom this fucking retard gatekeeping attitude is why free software remains fucking irrelevant.
Tyler Thomas
Dilate.
Cameron Campbell
>zoomers >nostalgia
Reddit, pls leave.
Jace Adams
>Start fucking killing them. lmao Ever wonder why Jow Forums, much like the Jews, have to resort to coded language and unironic right-wing safespaces? It's because if you actually tried anything, people would kill you. Go ahead, try something. What are you, a pussy?
> you clearly remember wrong, lmao. Correct. The net has always tbeen oxic, but back in the day (pre 2007ish) the numbers were lower and the web was less centralized around facebook, twitter, google, etc., so when people got offended or flamed each other, it was in a more walled garden kind of space.
Unironically this. Smartphones let everyone who had avoided regular internet use because "nerds suck" join the conversation. No one argues that it was a mistake.
Elijah Taylor
> The #Linux distribution Debian just announced that they will be switching Mastodon instance. > the @debian account in the fediverse, wherever is hosted, is not official.
Adam Wood
Who are you replying to? Did you even read the thread? This has nothing to do with politics, only to do with people who subvert and infiltrate and destroy things.
Unless you're suggesting there's a particular group of people who tend to do that more than anyone else?
Kevin Flores
>when people got offended or flamed each other, it was in a more walled garden kind of space. I remember getting banned from an IRC channel for correctly stating that powersupplies blow air from the inside of the case to the outside. The admin got so butthurt that I DARED even question him that I got banned. Or the timeI told someone DVD-RAM was stupid (in like 2007) and got banned. The Internet has always been full of sensitive people, and they often even get in positions of power online.
Robert Hughes
it wasn't more toxic as a whole, that time period was peak slacktivism/boingboing, if anything everyone was way too optimistic
Landon Gonzalez
>Unless you're suggesting there's a particular group of people who tend to do that more than anyone else? Yes, whiny, overly sensitive 4channers who cannot handle the fact that people don't like how brash we are. Funny how a site that apparently prides itself on being raw, unfiltered, and uncensored get so easily triggered by a community deciding not to support someone that many of its members would find detestable. But nah, it must be white genocide. THE JEWS THE JEWS THE JEWS
Gavin Robinson
lol...what a freak show Rosa Linux and Astra Linux are your new home White man, made by non-COCed Slav heterosexual males, Astra is the Russian military OS btw.
Aiden Nelson
You can always tell what labels hit closest to home by how desperately the snowflakes try (and fail) to co-opt them. Just look at triggered.
Snowflakes are delicate and white. It fits perfectly.
Jose Reyes
When does this fad of faux outrage end?
Levi Green
Case and point.
Logan Fisher
Why are you getting triggered by my post user? All I said was snowflakes are delicate and white. I thought facts didn't care about feelings. Are you by chance female?
>the entire clown pepe post Holy shit you're right.
Justin Bennett
>See also: "y'all" being used by urbanites in California. I wish liberal elites would stop appropriating MY redneck culture. Also stop drinking out of mason jars.
James Hall
There's a group of people who >Use coded language in order to subvert social standards >Trick the weak minded into believing their agenda is something else >Hide their agenda at all costs, and avoid arguing about it when confronted >Believe they are the only group of people fit for running society >Benefit greatly from the current economic system which funnels money upward to the top Hint: I'm not talking about the Jews, shekelberg.
>Communist Nice divide and conquer technique, Scholmo. It's not as if Jews are THE beneficaries of capitalism, even according to the 3rd Reich. >Capitalism is the immoral distribution of capital… Germany will become free at that moment when the thirty millions on the left and the thirty millions on the right make common cause. Only one movement is capable of doing this: National Socialism, embodied in one Führer – Adolf Hitler. Goebbels’ “Lenin or Hitler” speech first delivered on September 17, 1925
Whoops. I guess the only alternative to capitalism is communism. I better go buy my antifa gear. I've been destroyed with FACTS and LOGIC.
By claiming you offended them they get power over you. This is why part of Jow Forums is wrong they aren't snowflakes they are power hungry psychopaths (and trainwrecks).
Ryder White
I agree, this is a well thought out strategy that is part of a Grand Plan.
