/fur/ - Furry★

It's an amalgamation of tumblr and twitter. In other words, uh...not too good. It has the most nutty types of SJWs, so it's inevitable that infighting would occur in there.

Brote uses Mastodon uwu

fuck is a mastodon instance

So apparently some furry-centric mastodon instances have stopped federating with another furry themed instance because the admin of that instance refuses to ban glitchedpuppet aka PurpleKecleon from their server. Top kek.

>Also, what is /fur/'s opinion on Mastodon in the first place?

I hate the federation aspect of Mastodon/Pleroma/GnuSocial/etc. Today we have the technology and protocols to build fully decentralized social networks. There is no reason why we should make us dependent on some instance admin when we can just ditch the whole client-server model forever.

If I was about to build my own twitter clone I would use something like SSB for the social graph, a distributed hash table to find nodes in a P2P overlay network, IPFS for content delivery and a blockchain-based ledger to claim a username.

>reading this and involuntarily remembering the vasectomy incident

>>82030

Anon you can't just say this stuff and not telling what happened.

>>82031

The tl;dr is that PurpleKelceon told both her boyfriend and her husband to get vasectomies so she didn't have to worry about BC and they did.

The Mastodon split is because after the leaks back in April and a lot of changing, lie-riddled stories to debunk it over several months, a lot of people are just agreeing that Glitchedpuppet/Eevee/Marl aren't good fits for their community. Initially they suspended PK individually: They stopped federating after the admin of PK's home instance made an announcement defending Glip and defederated. As of about 20 minutes ago, they're deciding to reconnect after convincing people PK is undergoing a harassment campaign.

It's a small part of a potentially infinite social network. Basically, Mastodon itself is a set of software that allow anyone to set up their own social network, or mastodon instance. If you made an instance yourself and had a few buddies, you could all communicate with each other in your instance, but are unable to communicate with other people in other instances by default. In order to communicate between instances, their owners can decide to federate with a few or as many instances as they'd like, thereby growing the social network.

It's certainly not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction away from centralized networking. I think something like what you've mentioned for a social network would be an awesome thing. It's probably only a matter of time before it happens, I hope.

How the fuck has that trio not gone to jail after that last wave of pedo solicitation drama?

>>82032

>her boyfriend and her husband

n-no

>>82056

The person the current wave of drama is from had the chat logs disseminated against her will and promptly disappeared off the internet shortly after PK and her boyfriend saw they were leaked and sperged out calling her a lying crazy bitch etc...

...Only to recently claim Marl is a bonafide rapist yesterday -PK herself claiming he raped her - but anyone else claiming he acted inappropriately toward them is still a liar and shouldn't be trusted etc.

>>82058

Yes. Remember, you might be in a rough spot, but you've never been

>Your wife openly admits she prefers her new boyfriend to you, and since he makes more money than you do, he's buying a nicer house for her and you can stay if you keep out of the way

rough.

Mastodon is an inferior fork of GNU Social made by salty SJWs. Plenty of instances have SJW-friendly clauses that let them ban you nilly-willy for any perceived offence. People are banned based on 'reports' from other users, which is retarded. Users from 'blacklisted' instances are shadowbanned. Steer clear of it. If you're gonna use (((social media))) at all you might as well go for less cancerous alternatives.

>>82026

GNU Social and Mastodon are distributed social networks. An instance is a node that contains part of the whole network. That way you avoid the problem of having everything on one centrally-managed server. These instances are federated to allow inter-communication, much like email, which allows sending messages to mailboxes on different servers.

>based on reports

based on the amount of reports*. so if you step on some eceleb faggot's toes, you're most likely getting the axe.
