I agree with Jimmy. Don't trust silicon valley with being the gatekeeper of speech.

Here are a bunch of GnuSocial(OStatus standard) instances, and I guess you could try a Mastadon(Ruby implementation of OStatus) instance too but Mastadon updating sometimes doesn't play nice with the rest of the servers and many instances tend to disregard common moderating techniques from what I hear
https://gnu.io/social/try/servers.html
https://fediverse.org
https://social.guhnoo.org/

Many of the servers have a twitter-like UI

You could always self-host either with a cloud evm (amazon, ms) or locally. (It's easy once you get a install script that actually works)
Some people even program a bot to auto crosspost on both twitter and gnusocial/mastadon whenever they make a post on either so they are part of both networks.


Interesting.

it's a budget cuts thing

since centrist Dems want to cut the federal budget, but it's unpopular to cut most specific programs, the Dems just promise to cut vague inefficiencies that no one cares about, such as federal data centers

even on the campaign trail, Obama frequently referred to the need to cut spending with a scalpel rather than a hatchet or machete

So, I watched the Daily Show, and Trevor Noah was promoting this program:

http://time.com/4774497/jail-pizza-delivery-chicago/

Of course, he didn't mention a single thing about the prisoners being paid for their labor. This is doubly injurious, as the pizza is primarily sold to prisoners at $5 to $7 a pizza, who basically have no earning power. I had no idea a woke pro-slavery piece was even possible.

Also, the first half of that segment is one of his correspondents wasting enough food to feed a family for a week.

I believe it is, although I don't have an account on any so I can't really say which is good, let alone I hardly post on twitter/facebook myself lol.

But if you want to decry twitter then hey, viable alternative that keeps getting bigger without worrying about fickle corporate moderators (Just worrying about the normal kind of fickle moderators). Twitter hasn't really came out with new groundbreaking features other than advertising and convenient access to metrics, which I guess are important to some people, but not everyone.

Another thing that might be neat:
GnuMediaGoblin: https://mediagoblin.org/
It's basically like a distributed/decentralized deviantart/youtube. I haven't played around with it much myself but it looks like the guy who is making it also is making and submitting the W3C ActivityPub standard and will use it for Mediagoblin's federating function (not sure how/if it does something similar atm). (Mastadon already implimented ActivityPub last month)

e: Here's a link to a german page with some nice photos of things, including antifa protests.

Granted hosting any large media would require needing to pay for the bandwidth costs so probably less attractive for large videos unless using other methods of distribution (like webtorrent and others), but lightweight photos and 'tweets' should be cheap enough to host nowadays even with the lighter amazon packages (barring sudden popularity). This way you are not selling your time to the system to have the system get paid by the advertisers to provide you the system you wish to use. Not to mention any copyright issues with uploading stuff to twitter and them getting co-copyright or w/e are out of the question if you own the server/the server has rules you accept.

Dramatic irony is still a thing, but the current thing that claims the word began as nominally educated people not knowing the difference between irony and sarcasm and went downhill from there.

Having reign in Cspam is a better fate than being an obscure offsite. Much like the bonus of being a state in the federated republic of the united states of america a lot of the heavy lifting of having a site is taken care of, and the ecosystem such unity brings keeps stagnation from forming.

It's already basically a free reign, with rulers to suit our needs and culture.
Another subforum, cemented until someone threatens to blow someone or a building/statue/moon up and the FBI tells Lowtax to shut it down again.

Unless you somehow make an adequate equivalent to cspam bbs on a distributed federated social network. (Not a decentralized mailing list BBS, which exists)

Then it's fair game go for it. Probably fancy rules regarding twitter can be applied to just block/ban accounts rather than a whole subforum.

if the cost entirely self-funds the materials and equipment and isn't grossly overcharging like typical prison supplies and groceries and is only used to feed the inmates themselves and the inmates aren't legally or physically threatened to participate as cooks, I think this is a fine idea and doesn't really constitute slavery

as soon as someone gets the bright idea that hey maybe we can use these prisoners to bake for domino's on the other hand...
