Guess you might have to join the untold numbers of throwaway accounts made for that specific purpose

might be time to get one of the many redirect user scripts

Hence the deep breaths. Better to steel yourself and confront the particulars than to risk your trepidation leaving the threat vague.

1. Take some deep breaths
2. Look it up

There are so many better reasons to shit on Lunduke than this.

All-in-one my ass, it doesn’t even have a nub mouse

No idea why people see that as a problem. It works fine on mobile web.

You cannot forbid forking a public GitHub repository, per their terms of service

There are SO MANY parents that are not willing to teach and monitor their kids online safety. I would even say most parents don’t take that responsibility themselves.

Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.

Even though it’s a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn’t have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it…

Are mastodon users stupid or just on a which hunt?

After the point in time where you made the connection, you will see activity start coming in from their connections. So you should gradually see their followers populate as those people make new posts, which get federated to your instance through your connection to them.

Especially if the connection you made is the first time the remote instance has been interacted with, it’s going to look barren at first because there is basically no capability to sync history. You can think of it like an RSS feed.

(This is oversimplified - it’s possible that ActivityPub might allow for historical items to be synced just like RSS publishers can choose to include older data. I would speculate that it’s not commonly done for bandwidth reasons if it is possible.)

A downside to this is that if you’re trying to read through historical posts (from before you made the connection) you will have to click through to the hosting instance to get a complete view.

An upside to this is that because you only see content posted after the connection is established, you are guaranteed to be seeing new posts from active users.

Some nerd probably wanted to be able to say they literally decimated their management teams

Israel is probably the contractor that does the dirty work for the others.

OP has a very niche identity.

Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.

As divisive as it would be, I think that would be a good thing overall…

It reminds me of the literacy test to use Kingdom of Loathing’s chat features.

If they were any more inbred, they’d be a sandwich.
