Jour

Same here.

Yea, something is not OK. I replied on another instance but I cant read it. Oh well. Hope someone fixs it. Almost looks like a shadow ban.

You sure because I’m using sdf rn.

My dad is recovering from cancer and it was a hard fight, I sincerely wish the best for Stallman.

Cue in the David Attenborough voice.

Glad to know, can’t wait for mine to arrive. 😄

Also bought a few today, I was on the fence but your pictures made me finally go to the store and buy them. I went with the bumper sticker ones.

The HDD section is just great to watch.

SDF - The Ethical Social Network What ‘Social Network’ means to us (a history lesson)

…To the users of the SDF Public Access UNIX System, ‘SDF Social’ is based on the concepts and principles of the early Social Networks that we have always been a part of and not the highly commercialized, for-profit and ethically questionable Social Networks of the late 1990s and 2000s.

Simply put, SDF has always been about Collaboration, Non-Commercialism, Choice and Privacy.

Choice is very important here. Anyway best of luck in your endeavour whatever it is.

Also in the IRC section there’s something about “Common sense” it’s a great read. Just saying. Best regards.

You could write 5000 words and I doubt they would change their views. Still I certainly enjoyed reading your words. Best regards.

It’s a policy of the community. You really should read sdf.org faq. Best regards.

I seriously doubt sdf.org will defederate due to political, religious or other kind of views unless some kind of danger to its users is involved, and even then I’m pretty sure we would go to ARPA votes over it. While the instance might be recent the community behind sdf.org is ancient (I say this with my utmost respect for them ) so yea, not their first rodeo or last one. If you don’t like the views of those instances feel free to block them yourself. Best regards.

You all might not believe me but last year I knew someone who ran XP on his daily machine. It obviously didn’t work correctly with a bunch of things. I advised him to at least use a light Linux distro to access the internet, he didn’t care , and I didn’t push the subject anymore.

He was a curious and very nice lad, pretty much “stuck” in the early www days (including his online minset), totally into retro anime but current online security wasn’t in his agenda. 😖

Nothing against retro OSes, I have a old laptop with XP installed just for legacy stuff, but I don’t connect that thing directly to the internet.

Cheers, if for some unusual reason no one from SDF replies to you here, try their IRC via irc.sdf.org in the #helpdesk channel. Best regards.
