So the founders of Mastodon are all anti-American, tyrannical pieces of subhuman dog shit.
I think they are more softyboi one-worlders who are miffed that Gab drove a monster truck through their community garden. Nothing they can do but cry, really.
they seem pretty upfront about banning "hate speech". Anyone who says shit like that is a fucking useless anti-American faggot. If you wanna ban "hate speech", you're not American.
By my calculations faggot has at least 5 definitions and use cases and only one of those is bigoted. Fuck these pussy faggots.
Good thing their protocol allows people to create their own instances/networks and there's little they can do about it except put up borders and ree.
Borders. ROFL
"Mastodon is completely opposed to Gab’s project and philosophy"
I agree gab is too anti censorship /s
I know, right? Apparently they haven't read Gabs TOS. There things you can't say on Gab. These leftists are utter morons.
Their software fucking sucks, maybe they should spend more time writing clean code that scales than giving each other handies.
I haven’t dug into the codebase. What are your complaints/observations? I’m looking for a starting point for building something.
It was never meant to handle real traffic, the goofy ajax loader 99 times out of a hundred fails to load any content, sure they are growing fast but they should just turn that shit off and cache the main pages, people would rather read content than get up to the second like/comment counts.
Without knowing how much hardware/cpu they need to run the traffic they have it is hard to know but I am sure that with some smart use of cache, redis, and a db designed for tens of millions of requests per day the site would not be the steaming pile of dogshit it is now
You mean the actual instance on Gab? I mean, they’re getting hammered to shit right now. TDW is still struggling, even major sites struggle under sudden surges. Sure, you can plan around much of it, but I get the feeling that Gab doesn’t have enterprise-scale engineers or budget. But agree with your points.
I have been on gab daily for months now and it has been a rough ride. Stupid little bugs taking days to fix etc... I hope they work it all out. Apparently they hired a new CTO from Facebook
That statement was from July, 2019.
oh, well fuck em anyway
Good call out. I found it linked from a post made yesterday https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/t/gab-coms-fork-of-mastodon/3221
today is the day that i learned about mastodon. sounds like they suck ass.
Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. the software and concept are both excellent. Gab is using a fork of mastodon, so if you like that experience, there you go. The concept of federated, independent social media sites, with rules and focus for each site controlled by the community is very smart. We may like Andrew Torba today, but if a social media site is controlled by a single entity, it is vulnerable to internal bias and external attack. networks are naturally resilient. It’s a better model.
i feel it. i agree.
Minds works better than all of them, but I'm the only one who seems to bring it up on here :P
"I think that is one of the unfortunate features of free software - the authors of the software share it freely" LMAO
Mastodon is completely opposed to Gab’s project and philosophy, which seeks to monetize and platform racist content while hiding behind the banner of free speech.
ROFLMAO...that's the exact DEFINITION of free speech you morons.
Seriously. Fuck ‘me. It’s already open source and forked. They can cry all they want.
FOSS is racist REEEEEEEE
Wonder how commie Stallman feels about this.
He's a mixed bag. Had bad TDS last time I checked though.
Stallman is still alive?
Idiot can't even spell Parler correctly.
Mr. Mastodon Salt Mine.

Lefties love to talk about free speech, but they don't truly want free speech. Just the speech they agree with!
Sounds like a GREAT reason to stay away from Mastodon's "fediverse". Kudos to GAB for beating them at their own game.
Nah, cool thing about Fediverse is you can make your own instance and there's jack all they can do about it other than strict border security between their
countryinstance and ones they don't like, proving walls work.Fedi has instances with everything from casual shitposters to stuff that'd make pol lean back a moment.
And Gab is kind of its own instance of a Fediverse.
EXACTLY! Which makes Mastodon's statement so hilarious.
Fuck the lefty fediverse, but federated models have a lot of benefits. No reason we can’t create our own federation
