An account of your actions is not an opinion. Please take the gaslighting somewhere else.

You're doing it again. Me pointing out a simple fact. That you brought up two different things which the author never even addressed. In order to turn yourself into some victim. That is a simple fact. If you feel that it is an attack on you to have that pointed out. Perhaps you need to look inwards.

They're not calling you that for having different views. They're calling you that for making up reasons to offend yourself and acting like a toxic drama queen. And the ratio shows they aren't alone.

Yep. They only tolerate you as long as you're useful. As long as you don't push back against their mass incarceration, assassination, and even genocide. Authoritarians are authoritarian first. Left or right is a distant afterthought.

It's like they're a company pretending to be another company, disguised as another company. Tropic Thunder all the way down.

Lol they certainly aren't planning all this. None of them are that particularly bright. All this conspiratorial tone gives them far more credit than any of them have ever been due.

Blue Sky will not become a heavily monetized enshitified platform because of some Machiavellian conspiracy. It will become that. Because it is what un regulated capitalist structures must become. Hell even the regulated ones have a hard time not being that way.

Who did you think we were? This is who we've always been. They're just getting comfortable taking the mask off again. Trust me, my grandmother and other family were put through the racist indian boarding schools. Common throughout the US and Canada. You know, the ones they keep finding mass graves on. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just more subtle, less in your face.

Most people thought are too distracted with bread and circuses to care however.

Mastodon and miskey are interface's to the same open public protocol.

Bluesky is another, largely private, twitter like microblog. That can, but may never in a significant sense allow something close to what the fediverse does.

Evan Prodromou and the Social Web Working Group (SocialWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are the creators of ActivityPub

Not desalines or any ML controlled group. All they did was create a Reddit like interface to the platform. After being driven from Reddit for their intolerance.

I sometimes post from Mastodon to servers running this and other software. In fact the reason I'm on world. Is specifically due to its relation to mastodon.social. one of the bigger Mastodon instances I use. It's got nothing to do with a software. If Rud and the other admins decided tomorrow to migrate the database to a different backend. I don't think there would be much outrage or many people would care. In fact I'm certainly probably will in the future. As soon as a back end is available that provides significantly better Community / magazine moderating tools. Since I will significantly whiten the load on server administrators. Since things can be done at the community level instead of at the server all the time.

Just gonna put this out there. The devs push their stance plenty. Within their scope to do it from their echo chamber. Other than stopping development there's little they could currently do to impact growth in any way. And there have been issues with their development focus that have negatively impacted growth. Recalcitrance to focus much on moderation tools for instance. As well as at least reported issues difficulty contributing to the project by others. Though that at least is hearsay.

A few things. Communism isn't Marxist leninism. Communism isn't authoritarian. And it's not just Stalin and Mao. It's literally everywhere Marxist leninism has ever been attempted. Communism is a classless stateless society. Therefore a Marxist leninist government will never become communist. Because they are defined by their class separation of those with political power and those without, and the strong overbearing presence of the state.

There's nothing objectionable to Communism whatsoever. And no one should have any qualms about defending it ever. What we should question is why one group of authoritarians the Marxist leninist desire to be so closely tied to it. And another group of authoritarians the capitalists demand everyone be afraid of it.

While they are and will continue to be a scam. It is at least a step up from a guy dancing around in a spandex suit like the announcement was
