@csaurus @paulfree14@todon.nl This evening I've seen people hugging, shaking hands, congratulating themselves. And right now, in this moment, we don't have a King anymore!
On the news they kept repeating that whatsapp had apologized to their users. Nobody stopped to think that something is seriously fucked up when so many people depend on it. It was a perfect opportunity to enter some meaningful debate on digital coherency. But the stupid dumb ass news anchor just reads the script. Capitalist shill.
Some crazy !gnusocial syntax no one every uses. "@#family hello" will send a notice to all your subscribers you've marked with the tag 'family'. http://somsants.net/doc/tags
@strypey There was a spanish fork of elgg called Lorea a few years back. It became very popular during the Spanish Revolution/Arab Spring. The Lorea devs said they had federation with Ostatus working, but I tried to make it work and it didn't. Then the project came to a nasty end about a year ago. The database was lost (or taken hostage), never recovered, and thousands of activists lost all their records, assembly acts, documents, forum contents etc, etc.
Seems #mastodon is trending (I'm a bit slow off the mark). Reading on the Internets I'm surprised how some/most articles, supposedly written by people with technical knowledge, make absolutely no mention of !gnusocial. Oh well, being in the lime light was never the reason anyway. Long live the !fediverse!!
@Gargron@mastodon.social @mcscx When social networks are illegal we can use something like #twister or https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroMe When p2p communication becomes illegal we can make encrypted connections to forums hidden on some darkish net. When port 80 is the only legal one left, we just won't know when they're about to smash the door down, drag us out onto the street, a shoot us in the back of the head.
