Conflict between two Loops developers turns into fedi drama (lemmy.world)

Synopsis

(trying to be neutral here)

Hazycora[^1] was informally hired to work on Loops web UI. Then Daniel[^2] posted about his idea to launch a video ads network for Loops (which he latter admitted was a joke), and Hazycora commented that such posts hurt people's trust in him.

This was followed by an avalanche of mutual accusations, which I shall not dwell, as a result Hazycora no longer works for Loops.

Consequences

  • Accounts using "hazy.gay" email domain were banned on loops.video with a fake dubstep-posting Kamala Harris account as an excuse. This also breaks guest browsing on loops.gay.
  • Hazycora's username on loops.video was forcibly changed from single-letter "h" to "hazellll".
  • Disassemblies of the Loops client were published on GitHub.
  • Hazycora says she has got more than $500 in donations in the past two days; Daniel says his following count is growing, and hers are going down; both claims need verification.

Footnotes

[^1]: Admin of besties.house and git.gay. Created loops.gay, the first web client for Loops. [^2]: Daniel Supernault (aka "dansup"). Creator of Pixelfed (federated Instagram clone), Loops (federated TikTok clone), FediDB, fediverse.info, pubkit.net and yet unreleased Sup messenger.

I lied, one more Saturnalia post. Merry Christmas, you m*notheists! in c/roughromanmemes@lemmy.world

Threads Beta Feature Enables Fediverse Profiles in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I assume if threads users follow fediverse users the content makes its way to their feed as normal.

No. https://woof.group/@aphyr/113596102626961803

You can now follow fediverse accounts on Threads, but the accounts aren't searchable and their posts won't show in feeds

what's the point then

They can be URNs (like magnet:), as shown above.

Or a bank. Or a billionaire. Or a hedge fund. Or a stock market maximizing algorithm.

Only government has full control over its national currency via central bank and taxes. It's not decentralized, as every commercial bank needs to get a loan from the central bank, and people have to pay taxes in national currency.

It's not true, all ActivityPub IDs are URIs

and the size of some of the largest hoards have no significant relation to the availability of physical currency

Also true. Only MB money aggregate is in active circulation.

The linked post shows how most non-tech people's understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

Elia Ayoub's profile (on spore.social) was hidden by mastodon.social moderators just the day his post about the ICC arrest warrants on Netanyahu got into "Explore" page.

To check yourself, visit https://mastodon.social and type @ayoub@spore.social into search.

UPD (2024-11-26): mastodon.social has stopped hiding this profile.

Russia's first politically motivated block of a Fediverse server (reestr.rublacklist.net)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/14155096

Admin team of LGBTQIA.Social Mastodon instance received abuse email from Russian censorship agency, where they demanded to remove an account. The account in question represented a small group that ran a collaborative blog for LGBTQIA youth and adults in Russia.

Shortly after refusal to comply with agency's demands, the instance was blocked and is now unreachable from Russia.

All previous blocks of Fediverse instaces in Russia were related to hosting CSAM.
