Now the basement smells like a dead mouse. 😔 Guess it didn't have a way to get out.

@adamshostack I don't think this is as much of a problem as it looks like.

The main goal of quote boost limiting is to prevent someone's unwanted commentary on your post from going viral. You can't prevent someone from quoting you at all, but, if the _default behavior_ of standard clients is to […]

@light Consistency and a full feature set without optional add-ons.

Most of XMPP's features, even really basic ones like chat history, are optional enhancements that only some clients support. Different clients' views of the same server can be drastically different. And all of those accumulated […]

@light I do wonder, though: in what context are E2EE chatrooms (not DMs or group DMs) even desirable? What's the use case that a self-hosted server wouldn't solve? Just the ability to use a potentially hostile free host (like matrix.org) to avoid the need to self-host to get a private server?

@wjmaggos Yeah I've considered ActivityPub-based chat but AP is a complicated API and there wouldn't be any existing software that's compatible with it beyond DMs. (and even DMs are inconsistent! Mastodon handles them differently than Pleroma, etc.)

literally nothing that anyone involved with AI on any level has said in the intervening decades has shaken my ironclad conviction that we are a hundred years out from a skynet-style self-sustaining AI situation. if the alignment-bro apocalyptic scenario were to take place, where suddenly there […]
