I recommend you read this.

In case there’s anyone out there wondering “wait, which famine?” Don’t worry, I got your history right here.

The Holodomor

The Great Leap Forward

These governments didn’t just have famines, they had famines so massive they have their own names with a capital “The”.

Misskey has a massive Japanese population in part because it was written by Japanese speakers.

Now that’s a fucking gang tattoo if I’ve ever seen one. Not like the literal Awareness Ribbon. 🎗️

The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they’ll gulag your ass.

On the one hand, one of the things we often tout about the Old Internet was the ability for anyone to run their own website, forum, blog, etc, free from corporatization. On the other hand, running your website is a responsibility on your part, and in the convenience-focused Internet we have now, seems to be a forgotten lesson.

On the third, mutant hand growing out of our back, fedi software should be designed with security-by-default, i.e. no open registration, to prevent the forgotten lesson from being a huge problem.

In the wild, it’s far more common for them to just spin up a bunch of accounts across “good” instances (particularly those without registration applications) and coordinate.

In 2023, this happened to a ton of unsecured Misskey instances who then proceeded to spam most of the Fediverse. It was just a troll in reality, but revealed that the Fediverse is no less vulnerable to coordinated, sophisticated attacks (and with how politically minded it is, there’s plenty of incentive for nation state actors to do so).

Just wanna say warm wishes, share your research if you find anything.

Might be a great excuse to visit Denmark… I hear it’s wonderful there.

Well there’s the disaster that was hexbear…

The Baltics catching strays: “and I took that personally”

Yeah they were never learned to begin with.

I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I’ll never forgive myself.

hear ye hear ye, behold the funkiest of bunches

Fuck, I got lost in the UI. 😂 Mbin is great but there’s just a little too much visual noise.

Ah I see my mistake, thanks for clearing that up. Makes me wish “meanwhileongrad” was still around.

Am I misreading the modlog? This was .world’s moderator removing SereneSadie’s comment. The .ml user was just the OP.

Two weeks…
