Same. NC is having similar issues with the legislature stripping some amount of power from the Democratic Governor who won, and the Republican judge who lost is challenging the Democrat winner by trying to argue in court that certain votes should be thrown out.

American democracy wasn’t exactly super functional, but this is genuinely fucked.

That’s super interesting, thanks for chatting about miskey, reading through your comments I learned a lot about miskey as a platform, it sounds really neat in the ways it differentiates itself!

Are there English miskey instances? I know it’s primarily big in japan

Yes, and my impression is that there are also a ton of people who very much don’t want to be indexed or findable through inorganic means

I don’t disagree about implementing it and letting instances decide, but they’ve opted for a different compromise of letting people opt in. Having opt in vs opt out be an instance option would be nice, but open source projects aren’t always gonna align 1000% with the priorities that you have personally, unless it’s personally your project

Oh neat!! I thought that idea had been shot down, that’s cool to hear

Thanks for letting me know :) Hope you have a lovely day

That’s a strange take… But even if that logic follows, it’s pretty disingenuous to suggest that’s what ALL users want, and Eugene is the sole opposition. You and I may want global search, but lots of Mastodon users actively loathe the idea.

Personally I think it’d be a better platform for it, but I get why there are folks who don’t like the idea. I also wish they’d implement quoting people, but again, I understand why some folks don’t like that idea. Downvotes don’t really make sense on microblogging to me.

Man, I completely forgot about that. That’s honestly wild to think about in retrospect…

Those are some sweet fuckin pants, I want some
