Wandering Adventure Party

who hasn't teleported to a waffle house

thanks, I hate it

@aura utterly not worth it

@bri7 not you

(by the way, outside of flagging to the admin team that i was personally being harassed via the fediblock hashtag, i had nothing to do with the moderation decision implemented.)

to be honest, i am kinda just not into the idea of even being staff on a mastodon instance anymore. this is no longer "fun" to me.

for example, two people got into a fight yesterday -- a local user got into a fight with a remote user that went *very* sideways.

what does that have to do with me? well, a fucking fediblock post was made specifically tagging *me* into the fight, a fight that i had absolutely nothing to do with, in order to pressure me into taking the side of the remote user.

so then what happens? i get blocked by a bunch of people for no reason. the instance gets blocked by a bunch of instances for no reason.

i am sick and tired of it. i am probably going to just move to my own personal GTS instance or hachyderm or something.

but to be absolutely clear: I *do not* run the day to day affairs of treehouse anymore, and haven't in a long time. it has been run by a collective for the past 18 months.

Polymarket and Kalshi have honestly been some of the worst things to happen to society in some time.

do i have anything to hide? as far as i know, not really

but given the highly dynamic nature of the world we live in right now, who the fuck knows for sure?

that is enough reason to be my own "data controller"

"but iCloud is E2EE!!!!"

anything that is E2EE but where i cannot reproduce the build is basically "trust me, bro" security

why do i suddenly care more about declouding?

well, if you haven't noticed, the world is incredibly fucked up right now

and i can't do much about any of it, but it seems like a good idea to keep my data as local as possible

i am probably going to adopt graphene for this reason as well, despite hating android with a passion

now to ponder how to have the authoritative copy of my email on my home server, while having an exchanger on a vps or something.

that is the last "declouding" step

rate my homemade enterprise GPU cooling setup…

will Elon Musk be deported to CECOT?
