EEE would require existing Mastodon users moving to threads

It would not.

Meta could implement ActivityPub in Facebook, and there’s your majority population. Imagine a Facebook user “friending” your mastodon account. You follow them back because it’s your mom, and so does basically everyone. Next, Facebook implements Pages to round off the concept of “communities.” Then, Facebook introduces a genuinely useful extension - marketplace. Once a decent clip of people set up shop, trim off any instances that don’t adopt the FriendlyPub fork.

Bam, EEE.

Nice try, Special Agent.

This (along with basically all instances with communick news behind them) is a classic example of scaling up prematurely.

When this community is brimming with so much content that users start to “miss” posts about [thing x] because there are so many posts about [thing y], then you make offshoot communities, not before.

Every time I see this image, I have the same question: what’s going on with C3P0’s crotch

… Where are the X-Men?

lol yeah, that’ll do it.

Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.

What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.

I’ve found success running with .webc which is effectively HTML until you need it to be more.

Shout out to my fellow “None Backup Strategies” chaos goblins.

Counterpoint: If you think you said something stupid, you’re entitled to delete it. Don’t feel obligated to hang your ass out there and take a beating for a cold take.

Repokémon is an amazing name.

Donphan is legit, too.

This person couldn’t be bothered to search “Phanpy Mastodon” to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

Let me Google that for you.

Amazon SES is dirt cheap, billed per-send, you just need to bring the Everything Else with something like Mailcoach or Sendy.

Isn’t that what mbin is?

Ah fuck! I mistook the piefed docs for the pixelfed docs.

I swear there was documentation there.

No, the utility is to remove bad users.

I think you’re conflating my two separate concerns. One’s automated vote manipulation. The other is targeted harassment.

Looks like it’s kinda hard to spin up a piefed bot. Not impossible, but it’s a bitch without an API.

If I have an insightful contributer who’s going out of their way and outside of their normal communities to be a dick to another user, maybe they’re not so insightful after all. Or they’ve got a great reason!

Either way, I want to be able to point to their behavior - without the extra step of having to de-anonymize their activity - and tell them to chill the fuck out or get the fuck out. Out means out. Totally and forever.
