New #Botnet on the loose?

A surge of accounts from gtmastodon.online / mastodon.gtmastodon.online has emerged, all seemingly following a limited number of #MastodonSocial users.

Is this a coordinated effort? If so, what is the goal?

"Running infrastructure for yourself is hard...

Running infrastructure for others is exponentially harder."

"As any forum moderator or administrator can attest, the sheer volume of #spam, #abuse, and just generally #trash #behavior can wear down even the most seasoned veterans of the .com era.

And that’s if we’re talking about #communities that #host tens of thousands of users. Scale that to a few million and there won’t be enough hours in the day to either keep the servers running (stuff is costly too) or to monitor the content for anything potentially harmful or inappropriate.

For anyone that wants to start a #community, it’s a no-brainer that they should probably start somewhere where they can “#outsource” the hard things, like moderation and infrastructure, to someone who is an expert and has built-in mechanisms to handle everything in-house. Especially when the funds for this are at or around zero dollars. That’s a totally reasonable stance to take, and I absolutely get the rationale there.

Not only that, but a lot of the existing ecosystems rest on the shoulders of network effects.

Once everyone you care about is on #Reddit, are you really going to be the only one not on Reddit and try to #bootstrap your own little corner for a specific community? Probably not, and attracting people there would be much harder. Reddit is the one-stop-shop - I can go there for woodworking advice, but I can also chat in #local communities, or communities around collecting #stamps, with the same account and within the same interface. Are you really going to post #photos of your fridge that you want to #sell on your blog and hope that in a year someone discovers it through a Google search? Of course not - you will go to #Facebook #Marketplace or #Craigslist and get it sold within a few days.

You, the #user, are going to go where most people are, because you’re optimizing for #solving your #problems, such as finding like-minded individuals or #selling the fridge quickly and getting it out of your garage to make room for a table saw.

Most people are this way - they don’t care who or how maintains or runs a community or network as long as that place solves the problems they set out to solve. When that #goal overlaps with the company’s desire to make money, you end up in somewhat of a goldilocks zone, but that’s typically a short-lived experience with #modern services. More on that shortly."

«Linux auf einem älteren Laptop installieren»

Liebe Medien mit Linux geht dies sehr wohl und auch beruflich seit langem. Doch immer noch sind leider viele skeptisch aber mMn nicht argumentatiev. Ich denke für die meisten reicht die Distribution @linuxmint, @debian und/oder @fedora obwohl es noch viele weitere zu empfehlenden gibt, die sich aber meistens darauf aufbauen.

#Controversy brews on #Bluesky after #users complain about #antitrans #extremist #podcaster.

#JesseSingal’s #antitrans #hate made him the most #blocked #user on #Bluesky, but that's not enough for some #LGBTQ+ #users seeking a post-X #safespace.

@StephenTallentyre Greetings friend, in your opinion, how long will it take for #AI to truly develop its own #consciousness and #personality for each #user?
#computerscience,#technology,#savory,#evolution

@SecurityWriter what if I told you that #Microyoft never was interested in the betterment for the #User or #Customer but only on #maximizing #profit no matter the cost?

• I refuse to use #Windows for many reasons including this one!

I hope you too can make the switch...

No #government should rip #freedom from the hands of its people, forcing them to give up their freedom to run, study, modify, and share software. When it comes to government infrastructure, #citizens often have no options: they have to use it. Therefore, government infrastructure should always respect its #user's freedom!

We want to have (potential) #user #feedback :)

If you use Github-/Gitea-/Forgejo- #actions , why have you not switched or what would make you potentialy do so?

If you are not in position to decide, just try to asume why :)

For "other" feedback, just comment "below" ;)

Please #retweet so we get more coverage :)

#Gays name their #favorite #TV #shows with #gay #characters & their #choices may #surprise you

It looks like for one #Reddit #user, literal #NetflixAndChill is better than the #metaphorical #act — at least when #onscreen #gay #representation is involved.

Hey, #Americans ...

What the hell is up with your #NOAA and its website? Went to look at information on #hurricane #Milton, here:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?start#contents

The whole damn report is an #image, including all of the #words. There's no way for a #blind #user to get the warning from this page - there's no alt-text, no repeat of the report contents as actual HTML text below it, nothing.

Is your government's official position "blind people don't need hurricane info"? If so, why?

Should I change my username or is @ jglypt good?

I don't really like it anymore and I am still stuck on what to change it to.

Lmk in this poll & give me user ideas in the replies

btw I am aware I cannot change my Mastodon handle.

#usernames #user

Yes, keep jglypt
Switch to something else!
