I'm working on a YouTube mini series explaining the Fediverse!!
Who are the most knowledgeable people in this realm who I should definitely talk to?
What do you think is important to include in my series? I want to hear thoughts!!

@taylorlorenz I think it goes without saying, but @Gargron
@taylorlorenz just don’t make it too long to not make the impression that you need to watch all of this to start shitposting on fedi
Sure I'll sit down with you for an on-video discussion but I get to call you a nigger and if it's cut out of the production for any reason you immediately owe every project poast uses to function (pleroma, nicolium formerly pl-fe) 150k each
Depends on whether you want to tell people the Fediverse has two halves.
Almost nobody does, because almost everybody is politically aligned with one half or the other. But that's why nobody really understands the Fediverse, because the way the Fediverse actually functions would not be possible without both halves.

@taylorlorenz clearly you should talk to anyone from nicecrewdigital

@cjd @taylorlorenz What do you mean GPL software/tools are neutral ? Obviously it can only benefit my political views :^)
@taylorlorenz can you show this guy for 10 seconds
All free software is neutral, and if it was as simple as that, that would be one thing - but the Fedi has two very distinctive "halves" which ... the left half largely thinks the right half doesn't exist, and the right half finds the left half devoid of meaningful thought. But each one needs the other for the fedi to work the way it does...
@cjd @taylorlorenz Maybe there is not left or right.
Maybe there are just people thinking what the others are thinking.
Shame this happened tho as I've witnessed the exploitation of this logical fallacy by malicious people for divide and conquer reasons.
It would have happened anyway imo, but the consequences/extent would have been much lesser.
The only things who benefit from this are the Fangmans as usual.

It's funny though because the story is SO INTERESTING, it should be like catnip for journos... Here you've got this happy little social network, but then it turns out it has an "evil twin", but then in fact it's not really that evil and both networks actually depend on each other.
It's like the Morlock and the Eloi... particularly when you consider the fact that the Eloi had become something that couldn't survive on their own in the wild, and so the Morlock were basically farming them.

Don't assume those are explicitly political labels, I'm kind of thinking of them a little more like left and right brain... There is a political angle, and it's kind of left goes here, right goes there, but I don't think it quite captures the essence to refer to them as lefty-fedi and right-wing-fedi...
stux is a fucking moron. "Talk to the guy who wrote the software you use, the guy who sucks him off, a faggot and also a troon"
What's particularly fun about this secret is that nobody really has to keep it secret for it to "stay secret", it's kind of an IYKYK thing...
Yeah, I'm not really tuned in to what else is going on in non-anglosphere fedi... But I guess neural net rules should apply...
@cjd @mangeurdenuage @taylorlorenz
This is true. There really isn't a ton of "right wing" in the part of the fediverse not controlled by blocklists.
Its more the "fuck you" fedi than the "right wing" fedi

@cjd @taylorlorenz I would recommend using words like "Disagreeing instances" or similar rather than using left/right then.
I would say it's less about "fuck you" and more about ensuring that people are sharing unfiltered thoughts.
Because if you are afraid to say anything that a potential future employer might not like, you're unable to bring unique value to the conversation, you're doomed to repeat worthless linkedin-slop.
I think that's why there's a shibboleth, you have to prove that you're not afraid to say words that are not allowed on linkedin.

Academic fucking excellence is what I would call that.
Yeahnah that doesn't capture it at all. But thank you for your kind advice.
how do the two sides depend on each other
I thought most normie instances had all the mean-word-saying instances bloqqed

probably @jeffcliff ...i think no one knows how...but he seems to have spawned at the same time the fediverse did...he has since ran a paradise lost luciferian-like campaign against the natural order of things...
how long has economic hitman been around???
@jeffcliff @p @lain @taylorlorenz @jeff @Frondeur @egirlyuumimain @Economic_Hitman @lnxw37b2 @sun If you're actually curious, DM and I'll see if we can work something out. If you want to pilfer my interview series (that may or may not come alive again, I'm working on it) I've got 27 episodes for your viewing pleasure https://video.tsundere.love/c/the_fedi_files/videos
@Wiz @jeffcliff @Economic_Hitman @Frondeur @egirlyuumimain @jeff @lain @lnxw37b2 @p @sun @taylorlorenz Yeah but also Taylor Lorenz defederates from jeffo, nobody there can see anything that we post.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Wiz @Economic_Hitman @Frondeur @egirlyuumimain @jeff @jeffcliff @lain @lnxw37b2 @sun @taylorlorenz She's on the masterdong dot social, she can't see *anyone*.
@jeffcliff @Economic_Hitman @Frondeur @Wiz @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @egirlyuumimain @jeff @lain @lnxw37b2 @sun @taylorlorenz I've looked at what she *can* see and I'd say more than three quarters of the *discussion* is here.
It doesn't matter because memes and discussions filter between right instances, neutral instances, and left instances anyway...
Secondly, any outside "threat" to the Fedi has to deal with both sides, which have radically different defense postures.
Gab came, Gab left.
Threads came, Threads is ... leaving?

Should consider contacting @p@fsebugoutzone.org, @mint@ryona.agency, @graf@poa.st, @matty@nicecrew.digital and @sun@shitposter.world for their prospective on the Fediverse as seasoned system administrators that have been around for a while now. They can undoubtedly give you an idea on the culture from the other side of the Fediverse beyond the iron curtain of the Mastodon network.

Hogwash!
I don't think Ms Lorenz would like what I would say to her
I already drew my line in the sand

@p @lain @lnxw37b2 @sun This scene from the Scooby Doo movie pretty much explains journalism in the nutshell.
