  • the Kolanaki guy, that Chinese guy who keeps changing his name but has an ROC flag profile picture, LadyButterfly (she posts a lot in a community I moderate, very pleasant person). I think I’ve had my scrapings with Pugjesus and afraidofzombies, good to have discussion. There’s also someone on here called “Satan’s maggoty cum fart”

    Oh and YappyMonotheist is one of my favourites. He’s a very pleasant gentleman.There was a mormon guy here called Baldprophet, haven’t seen him in ages









  • Isn’t that Matrix?

    ActivityPub wouldn’t work because it’s not a messaging protocol. It’s a publishing protocol. The closest thing you have is Lemmy- where you have a server (instance) with channels (communities).

    It’ll be easier to achieve something like this using SMTP (email protocol) than with ActivityPub.

    Matrix and XMPP are your best bets (although XMPP doesn’t necessarily natively have video call, usually you’ll have an accompanying TURN server)

    What you can do with email, xmpp and the fediverse is have the same username. It is possible for someone to make a platform which gives you one name and it accepts email, xmpp and fedi. Unfortunately, Matrix, for some strange reason uses the format of @name:server instead of the standard name@server (activitypub might use @name@server but that’s close enough and a lot of lemmy frontends don’t even care for the initial @. In reality that initial @ is probably just being used to ping them, now realising.)


  • The European Union has an ideological focus on the death penalty, but I would like to ask them if they have a better solution.

    Mr Branson is entitled to his opinions. These opinions may be widely held in the UK, but we don’t accept that Mr Branson or others in the West are entitled to impose their values on other societies. Nor do we believe that a country that prosecuted two wars in China in the 19th century to force the Chinese to accept opium imports has any moral right to lecture Asians on drugs.

    Nothing we have seen in the UK or in the West persuades us that adopting a permissive attitude towards drugs and a tolerant position on drug trafficking will increase human happiness. Where drug addiction is concerned, things have steadily worsened in the UK, while things have steadily improved in Singapore.

    Man they are absolutely cooking here. Both in calling out the white supremacist attitudes of the west and in being rational.
