Just for the record, I don’t know any of the mods or admins of the Hachyderm server.

(People are accusing me, with zero evidence, of “conspiring with the mods” to “cancel people”.)

To make something very clear after the dogpiling and death threats I got yesterday:

You have the right to disagree with and criticize my word choices or opinions.

You don’t have the right to make me listen to you or respond to you.

You absolutely, positively don’t have the right to stalk me after I withdraw consent of communication by blocking you, or to threaten my family or friends with violence or death. Fuck you if you do, or if you associate with those who do.

So yeah my wife is getting death threats now (not on Mastodon, so can’t report it.)

Some of you really need to touch some grass or something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Gonna go on a Mastodon sabbatical because I'm getting dogpiled on.

Someone even stalked me by email.

Stalked me. To let me know I'm "abusive".

Fuck that.

PSA: If you have a popular post on here and don't want to get flooded with notifications, Mastodon has a handy "mute conversation" feature.

@wotsac hmm, I'll add that as an option I think, I guess the format is "slate"

really didn't do anyone any favours by making EVERYTHING a post and stuffing everything into the Posts table.

I don't know how they talked themselves into the idea that Media uploads are 'posts' but this is really bad architecture.

(Coming from someone trying to do some fancy migrating of media.)

@syntaxseed denormalization is the best part of database design, often the more tables the merrier

    @LALegault @Wolven they could have changed jobs a few years ago when there was plenty of jobs in tech and it was already very clear where all of this is going ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    @dgodon there’s plenty of companies who don’t do evil shit constantly

    @brokenix a lot of these people could have gotten more money by switching to a different company years ago

    With today’s announcements at Google I/O, the web has entered a state of managed decline https://www.platformer.news/google-io-ai-search-sundar-pichai/

    @caseynewton @mike They’re taking the web out behind their server farm shed to shoot it.

    Meanwhile none of the other AI stuff (“organize your receipts”) actually works well enough to be useful because you have to second-guess it constantly; this has been done before and more accurately with boring algorithms like OCR and string matching.
