Hey just a heads up, that styxhexenhammer666_dot_com #peertube instance is neo-Nazi shit. That dude Tarl Warwick was a big ol’ occult alt right influencer in the early days of Trump 1.0. Very antisemitic little dork ass Nazi.

Noticed his instance popping up in a couple of my feeds today.

Not interested in being super strident about this, but thought it was worth flagging. If you run an instance that blocks, say, Gab, then you may wanna consider also blocking that one.

RationalWikiStyxhexenhammer666Tarl E. Warwick (January 20, 1988–), better known as Styxhexenhammer666, Botany101,[3] or Tyrell Warner,[4] is a YouTube vlogger who has primarily alt-right political views. Warwick considers himself a "libertarian",[5] and before that, considered himself a "progressive".[6] He's also a self-proclaimed occultist.

Liz Truss and Open AI both announcing they are going to make "social networks" this week.

Hard to imagine any reason why you'd want to use either. Truss reckons hers will be "Free Speech" but of course she can't allow illegal posts any more than Twitter can.

OpenAI presumably mostly want training data. Hard to see why anyone would deliberately choose to post their notes to be used by OpenAI without compensation.

If either try to federate, I shall of course be defederating them.

@fosstodon I pay you £60 per year but avoid Patreon for the same reasons I don't want fedi touching or any other anti-human sociopathic entity.

So you selected for people who are already ok with supporting sociopaths, for whatever reason.

Please from anti-human sociopathic systems like . Not doing so literally supports those entities and the racists, Nazis and bigots they foster and amplify.

WTAF @fosstodon?

A solid reason to *not* #Defederate from Threads is so we can be annoying reply guys to them about how on #Mastodon this type of shit doesn't exist. They're making the mistake of letting their users see where the grass is greener. Don't just put up a giant fence made of manure.

*Allows federation with threads*
*Claims that they cannot defederate immediately after Meta's announcement of weakening its moderation because they have too much mutual follows*

Played like a fiddle. Zuck followed his playbook in front of everyone and here we are...
