What is this autism? What principles? It's a Twitter knockoff, it's not that deep. I don't blame him one bit for banning kiwifags or anyone else who is annoying. Go in peace. Why would he want to deal with the bullshit? If he hosts drawn CP (illegal in his jurisdiction - his cache on his hard drive will contain it, thus as I type this he is committing multiple felonies) and tellingly prioritizes that part of his user base over other users though I'll continue to call him a pedophile or pedophile-enabler.

That autism is what he has said about poast multiple times. I too don't begrudge anyone moderating their platform how they want. They just aren't allowed to do the whole freeze peach larp while doing so.

 

[Jack Awful]

Poast will rarely defederate you except for "dox" or (ironically considering complaints here) endorsing pedophilia.

From the personal experiences of not just me, I disagree with this statement.

 

[suspended animation]

The journalist who they caught snooping is named Christopher Mathias. Supposedly a story will be coming out soon, I've seen no details on what it is about.

Also I have been thinking about setting up an instance myself actually for a while now but I've not been motivated and it's proved to be an unduly obnoxious process. I have an absolute beast of a dedicated server for other projects that could definitely host an instance or two plus a couple of pretty cute vanity domain names, but I'm still messing about with the mastodon configuration, it doesn't seem to like being behind Cloudflare very much which is extremely annoying although I know that plenty of instances are. This is not helped by the software being written in tranny languages that I don't understand (Ruby for mastodon and I think Erlang for Pleroma) and just seemingly being overly cute with a lot of shit.

I'm aware that it's painlessly one-click on Linode(?) but I'm not paying extra when I have my own hardware that I can control fully and not have to worry about the bullshit. If anyone can help guide through this process pls drop a PM. If I get something nice going I'd allow friends to join, low key and small enough rules wouldn't really be necessary just something along the lines of don't be an asshole and no porn, "doxing" fine within reason.

Just use Pleroma, or Alex Gleason's fork of that, Rebased. From there you just set up a PostgreSQL database and edit your nginx files to point to Pleroma

graf is pretty clear that he's not trying to make some single point of failure for free speech, and is instead trying to promote the Fediverse in general as a technical measure to make censorship difficult. Poast will rarely defederate you except for "dox" or (ironically considering complaints here) endorsing pedophilia. The "dox" rule is really expansive by KF standards, though.

If you insist on using someone else's instance, the instance you want exists, is here, and is federated with Poast.

Graf defederates for pissing him off.

This is complete bs, you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

That's fair, I concede on that. I dislike hypocrisy and public displays of weak-will as well. I think I was more >triggered by the rhetoric that you're calling him a hypocrite for than by your rhetoric itself. So in that sense we actually kinda agree. I think the free speech shit is tiring especially when it is used to cover for degeneracy and then abandoned when actually important stuff is at stake.

Just use Pleroma, or Alex Gleason's fork of that, Rebased. From there you just set up a PostgreSQL database and edit your nginx files to point to Pleroma

Luckily I'm very familiar with PiGSQueaL so that's not an issue, I tried installing Pleroma a year or two ago and had difficulties based off of Erlang(?) dependencies and shit like that but I really don't remember, I have a much better set up now so maybe I will give it a go. Thanks for the tip. Another option appears to be Misskey, which looks to have some interesting features and is written in TypeScript which is a language I abhor but at least understand, however there's anime girls on the front of their GitHub. When will it end? LOL. I'll try to spin up Pleroma for funsies maybe tonight.

Can you give us a quick rundown on why he hates you so much and called you the "bane of his existence"

 

[Pitbull Victim]

Is the same one who was e-mailing people back in 2021?

The poast staff doxxed his gmail.com on the main timeline but I have no idea how to find it.

I didn't manage to screenshot it, the journo was this guy and his email was a "first name last name" @gmail.


He's a weepy fearmonger about MAGA/alt-right types that is legit still talking about Unite the Right half a decade later. He also jerks off Taylor Lorenz and Ben Collins and writes frankly embarrassing shit like this:



I don't think he was personally behind the previous doxing of Poast users because his M.O. seems to be lazily coasting off the work of the actual leftie doxers:







"Spooky Nationalist" is a Poast guy, so I bet he was hanging around there to ring out another "Poast bad" story while doing the absolute minimum amount of work possible.

 

[YEETzsche]

The QRD on why he hates me so much is because I ridiculed the TRS Podcast Race that dominates Poast. They would get in my face for not being wignat enough for their liking and for insisting that TRS/NJP is all talk, no show. I'd argue the point autistically. He construed this as "harassment." I was early on the "ridiculing podcastrace" boat.

This is complete bs, you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

The only ones I know of that are defederated for being annoying are disqordia.space and iddqd.social. Are there others unlisted?

From the personal experiences of not just me, I disagree with this statement.

You hosted your own Pleroma instance where you were finally safe from the lolicon menace, and the instance was then defederated? I missed this arc.

 

[Neil]

The Huffington Post is still around? I thought the got sucked up with all that Gawker media shit or just faded into nothingness.

I joined someone else's node and they defederated me personally for ban evasion.

posting.lolicon.rocks (I think, although the admin of that, s8n, bans lolicon)

A bunch more iirc.

EDIT: Actually I recall him more targeting specific users for defederation most of the time, like KF Eris, bot, etc. That's become more his style lately

 

[Disheveled Human]

Deleted my account, only really used it for when KF was down for the initial week but yeah no need for loli's if it meant I never saw people like Null or Jims posts I don't care its bad enough hanging around animes but I draw the like on loli fags who need to die fast.

 

[Disheveled Human]

Kiwifarms is a hivemind like reddit.

Not really people like me have a lot of reddit takes the difference is I can out argue people and then call them a faggot nigger. Just look at my page of people who hate me. I also shoot the shit with mods and even Null from time to time. This site has a good amount of opinions to those brave enough to discuss them.

Use whatever you want. It's more important that you get on there without being somebody else's nigger, or if you must, being on one of your crony's instances. The ideal instance size really is "me and my friends."

 

[Cloacan]

Found some old screenshots with graf where he cries about stalkers and being suicidal because of poast. Totally sane individual btw.

Why would they ban innocent, angelic Eris though? These people are monsters.

The journalist who they caught snooping is named Christopher Mathias.

That's a relief, Chrissy Mathias, besides being built from spare parts retrieved from a Rock-a-Fire Explosion junkyard, is a pathetic hack. He's an SPLC-grade moron.

There's literally nobody gayer than graf on fedi, and it annoys me that she's ruining it for everyone with her pedo antics. Although tbh, there aren't many good instances now that kfcc is down, but shitposter.club is probably the best option for most people (that aren't autistic spergs).
