@sir as far as I can tell, the Linux foundation exists to make it easier for large companies to control the development of Linux. Am I wrong?

Discord Looks To Grow Beyond Its Gaming Roots https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/08/28/1721249/discord-looks-to-grow-beyond-its-gaming-roots #social

@freemo @khird A lot of hate and aggression is on random websites... So is this the time to ban all browsers? Or shut down the internet as a whole, problems would dissappear. Or create something like Great Chinese Firewall... is this direction world want to choose?

@freemo

Looking forward to Google banning Gmail app because it allows you to subscribe to an alt-right mailing list.

This is probably the closest analogy you can build to explain what's wrong with Google's action in the traditional Internet terms, because SMTP has been federated like forever.

@freemo Thanks, have done part of that, so copied the text then linked to your full post, which has the links to the screenshots, also added my comment at the bottom (made it clear it is my comment) to say the fediverse works in a different way.

The problem is ,lst year Mastodon hit the main news, as lots of people in India moved to the fediverse,

If this story hits the media it will be twisted, journalists will go out and search for this hate content, and say it is easy to find.

To day is that big march in Washington DC. so this could be a convienient time for Google to 'look' like they are doing something.

Interestingly Protonmail are on both Gab and mastodon, which does show that the two are separate networks otherwise there would be less need or they would have to be on ALL the different instance types I guess.

Lets see what happens, we need to remind the world that 18 months ago facebook allowed live streaming of a mass murder terror attack in New Zealand, and also it is still accused of not dealing with child abuse properly.

More ammo Britain first is still trending in the UK, (has been all day) they are a racist hate group.

I wonder if the twitter app will be removed !!!?

I was notified that @tateisu's Mastodon app "Subway Tooter" has received a warning from the Google Play Store citing user-generated content that "incites discrimination".

A Mastodon app does not host or promote any content. The user types the address to connect to. The responsibility of moderating resides with that server. So unless Google is going to drop Chrome, Firefox and Opera from its platform, this is completely out of line.

My dream would be to have the ability to subscribe to YT channels via #peertube using the underlying tech of invidio.us / freetube etc. Would it be possible?

At the very least it would be a way to migrate away from YT for all the content that won't move to peertube.

@peertube

@zleap @freemo on the plus side, I have never heard of Mastodon until today, so the article is bringing in new people
