This comment is all over the place. Can you clarify what you are asking for? My summary of what you said is:

“I like that different opinions are represented :). I don’t like this opinion being represented :(“

I don’t care about votes, I’m responding to the accusation that this topic is not proving the exact reason the fediverse exists in the first place.

I beg you to look into the censorship of this story in western media, the fediverse is proving itself to be censorship-resistant at this moment!

Edit: more international English

This is being censored on Reddit and Meta properties (Instagram, Facebook, etc.). The fediverse is proving its worth in the global class war. Don’t divide us with petty borders.

It’s being censored by most of the western internet, the Fediverse is proving it’s worth in this moment.

What the fuck are you even talking about

Gender is not inherently sexual, you’re the one making this weird.

Because that’s where all the users are. The “social” aspect of a “social” network. Anyone can host a forum but it’s useless without users.

If a social network is to take off, it must be accessible from mobile devices behind CGNAT (carrier grade network address translation).

Why the fuck does this emoji exist lmao

Sure they might exist but the ones you buy off of That Website never are.

Are you by any chance using flat Ethernet cables? Those are not to spec and are vulnerable to radio noise. Friends don’t let friends buy and use flat Ethernet cables.

The main reason this will never happen is that the browser vendors make massive revenue and profit margins off of The Cloud and would really prefer that the core concept of a LAN just dies so you pay your rent to them.

Makes ya wonder what else it’s doing that for…

mDNS hasn’t been a just-Apple thing for decades. Do you still call it Ren-dess-voos like the Gaston character in Beauty and the Beast?

The main problem I have is waking up in the middle of the night worrying that ICANN pulled some more stupid corrupt bullshit that only makes networking worse and breaks my config.

Just look elsewhere in this thread: someone thinks that using .honk as a joke is safe. But what about .horse? .baby? .barefoot? .cool? (I stopped scrolling through the list at this point but you can see how arbitrary and idiotic things have become.)

Ah yes, the goldenshower age of the web.
