Been off for a bit. What's the latest controversy on the mastodons now?

In a previous life when I was a cube worker, my company held annual reviews upon which an annual raise was determined. Problem was they were always late on those annual reviews. One year I decided to start noting by putting "Days Annual Review is Overdue" on my cube's whiteboard, knowning my boss and his boss had to walk by it every day. Around day 200, my boss told me they all found my sign irritating and felt it insulted them. Yup... they were f'ing around with my paycheck, but...

The terms “master” and “slave” have long been used in technology to refer to a relationship between devices. Google is working to phase it out. Among the “suggested alternatives” are, “primary/replica,” “master/replica,” “elder/follower” or, somewhat more creatively, “master/minion.”

I reported a user on mastodon.social for advocating political violence against journalists. They did nothing. For all the guff about #gab and protecting people, they really meant only protecting certain people.

Are these the AntiFa values #tusky and that side of the Fediverse are defending?

How long before #Tusky starts adding in trackers and telemetry to report users for wrongthink... you know, in the name of free software and being do-gooders.

This is what I mean by stupid leftists. This idiot arguing with Sargon is too stupid to know that he isn't an anarchist.

OMG this guy is an idiot

I will say this about Mastodon.. it does seem to be the only place where you can find smart leftists. Everywhere else the leftists are dead stupid or simply statist partisans who just happen to be on the left this time around.

I don't do twitsite because of all the smugness from stupid people. I really like the idea of federated social media, but I see a lot of the same attitude here. There is a lot of looking down on people who are different and a lot of wanna-be authoritarianim disguised as pitty parties.

I'm unimpressed with conservatives who continue to complain about deplatforming but stick with the big tech social networks. Those social networks only have the power you give them. Sticking to them instead of going to an alternative, such as the Fediverse, is just asking to be abused.

Vote for Sargon of Akkad! The only politician brave enough to talk to the voting public.

did not sleep for sh*t!
