Dear USians,
You have fracking got the whole social mythology around resisting federal power grab. Perhaps it is time to implement it?
Order Without Law: Trump’s Quiet War on Local Control

Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.

@DrALJONES @su_liam that would be straight up moderation. Blocking, defederating, etc are not shadow-banning. User-side tools like word filters and silencing or blocking wouldn't fit either even on the loosest definition of a shadow-ban.
The second paragraph of the linked wikipedia page acknowledges the definition I was thinking about as an evolution of the term, and I think it's the one that applies more often on modern social networks. The "algorithm hell" is definitely the most commonly used definition I've seen.
Regardless of the definition you like the most, on the fediverse you can't just get hidden from the masses, without knowing it, for talking about sensitive topics. You can be moderated, but if you don't like your instance or it's defederated you can just migrate to a more visible one.
@DrALJONES well then I have no clue by what do you mean by "shadowbanning" ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Here's how the fediverse and, by extension, mastodon servers work with each other:
w3c.github.io/activitypub/
And here your server's rules, which is the hardest policy you can get:
mastodon.social/about
Anything else is conspiracy theories, corrupted mods, or non-activitypub compliant server software.

There are some applications that are rather tricky to get workign on a Linux platform. The technos will know how to do it but the ordinary punters like me just do without.
But - what I really like is being translated into the open source commons and all the other things that work on the basis of shared rather than locked-down knowledge.
I think it's done in bad faith that 6 years after the incidents which Felix has properly addressed and condemned, that people are still trying to portray him as a bad person (unless something happened recently).
bad apples exist everywhere, but I don't see how Felix is now responsible for it. he has changed.

m.youtube.comYes, I successfully installed a Linux distribution this week on an old 2009 MacBook Pro and gave it new life. Perfect technology to keep older machines very useful. Runs very well.
I will install on my newer MacBook Pro as well.
Oh goody. Finally someone who speaks up for fascists is interested in Linux.
Hooray. What a huge win.
@troy_frizzell 😅 To be fair, I had no idea about who was PDP and what type of audience he seduced in the past when I posted this. I quickly 'revised my copy' and added a reply to my post a couple of minutes after the rain of info about him.
Well, let's hope this entry in the Linux world about the most rotten part of his audience will open for them a world of wonder, with showing them basic mechanism of 'living well together' like observing a code of conduct, cooperating, and sharing. 😆
@loyhena
This one did pop out of my recommendation, probably because I'm consuming a lot of Linux related content.
"It does not of necessity follow that, if the work delights you with its grace,
the one who wrought it is worthy of your esteem." (Plutarch)
People do bad things and good things. This is a good thing, whatever this person did in the past, and you were right to say so.
If so, very few people could say good things. Could we therefore infer from the criticism of Stallman that his message is false, or immoral, or do we not accept his fans?
Yet the GPL says precisely that you are free, even to use Linux to drive a bomb (...already done) or to advertise fascism (... already done).
Not that I agree with it, at all.
Got this one in my recommendation probably because I'm searching often the keyword Linux.
I checked the video again this morning, 3 Millions view. Even if only 1% joins his call to action, that's suddenly 30K new GNU/Linux user. Impressive audience.
You guys know he's a white supremacist?

@rickyx I understand, but it is an easy dilemma and all come down to: "should we praise the good actions of someone who did shitty stuff in the past (or continue to do it)."
I'm on the team of 'yes', especially if the action has impact, well done, and I think this is one path to escape a polarisation/manichaeism effect. But still! Acknowledging and informing about what this person did for context, and sharing about it is also important. My first post was incomplete in this regard.
