Reminder that good fediverse admins don't block domains, they block users

So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)
This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.
@jplebreton PICO-8 is very interesting, just learned about it. What do you think of https://godotengine.org/ ?

Stop using Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is moving to remove autonomy from Web users. Excuse me while I purge it from my machines. Please remember - it’s a “open source” “project” (commerically provided product) whose goal is to not to “affect our [Google’s] ability to customize ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business” (from their SEC 10-K filing).
Google Chrome is not built for people; it’s built for Google, by Google. You are their bank.

@Gargron Is it because of time constraints from you? If so, can one volunteer to run it?

The struggles of an open source maintainer
Sometimes it feels like "Game of Thrones" premiered, like, a million years ago. Remember the original title sequence?

the tech industry has a really bad habit of just accepting what everyone else is doing as Legit(tm) and not thinking about it, inadvertantly contributing to absolute garbage being propagated everywhere
see: electron, mongodb, the x86 cpu architecture
@Gargron I mean there is a whole lot of people who self-hosts mastodon!
