first thot: i'll set up a mastodon server. i'll really freaking do it second thot: this is a platform and you can build any number of stupid apps on top of it. [shut up epics: did someone link this to me before? or is this pretty much what i was starting to design in my hed? like, fuck justin timberlake buying myspace and deleting all the data; fuck elon musk buying twitter. fuck mark zuckerbird, sticking his hummingbird beak into all's bidness. if all these twats shared their toys and didn't create walled gardens, well, they wouldn't be so fucking fragile and prone to mass collapse in a see of trollish giggles, would they?] |

honestly, neal stephenson's lamina thing... but that's a year or so off at least; need something now. urbit, well, i don't know if this is off the deep-end or not from the glossy print. but i can say a) it's not what we want for this; wrong tool for the job, and b) i'll still have a look anyways even though this feels like it could be templeOS |

okay, bottom line -- how many of these shits come and go because of stuffed suits? myspace got executed. facebook was always a sleeper turd. elon musk is actively killing twitter. xltronic is p. good and sheltered from the storm, but tenuous; thx tony. i could create some forum site but... no, nevermind cryptocurrency or the hooters IPO, the blockchain could be used to create a message board that exists as a sort of shared torrent; nothing but message board data. anyone can download the whole thing. most people, obviously, will not care to, but this then enables anyone to develop their own reader, so you'll get two dozen to pick from, and one will fit your style on your device. then it's just shared data and not a walled garden at the mercy of some nutjob feudal landlord imo. |

there's some workable mashup between "disco inferno" and "discord ipo" but i'll leave it as an exercise |

In March 2021, Discord announced it had hired its first finance chief, former head of finance for Pinterest Tomasz Marcinkowski. An inside source called this one of the first steps for the company towards a potential initial public offering, though co-founder and CEO Jason Citron had stated earlier in the month he was not thinking about taking the company public. Discord doubled its monthly user base to about 140 million in 2020.[26] The same month, Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal reported that several companies were looking to purchase Discord, with Microsoft named as the likely lead buyer at a value estimated at $10 billion.[27][28] However, they ended talks with Microsoft, opting to stay independent.[29] Instead, Discord launched another round of investment in April 2021.[30] Among those investing into the company was Sony Interactive Entertainment; the company stated that it intended to integrate a portion of Discord's services into the PlayStation Network by 2022.[31][32] --bad boy wiki p at some point the sony mafia will want its cash back and then some. don't try and tell me they won't |

that, hell, maybe not. maybe sony chipped in a few bucks and hooked discord up to their console walled garden because people kept leaving their walled garden to use discord and whew; sorted but valued at $10bil, yeah. it's class to tell microsoft to get lost but if you're sitting on that, well, imagine it must be an immense hassle to run and how long can anyone hold out before saying... being a multi-billionaire does sound a bit easier than this shit and that's the problem. when someone owns it, it has a price, and so you want it to be more like (sorry) usenet, where it's just kind of a shared pool of chat, so by design, no one can own it, and it's reduced to some internet services earning a couple mere million a year for pushing data and crafting cool readers, and, well, donald trump would be unbannable, but on many other levels, the madness would stop |

i actually have some thoughts on how to... you could, essentially, break a message board up into a floating blockchain or whatever and still have a) moderation b) DMs despite being blockchain -- so long as encryption were employed cleverly but idea is it's just a protocol; an agreement. that people could build forums with moderation or forums where no one has absolutely any control. build a forum on top of a forum for meta-commentary. i dunno too bad i'm not rich or i might bother. |

> Why does everyone need a voice it’s so annoying ...or wait did you mean, like, needing to +v someone in IRC? if so i went a bit off-topic, and the answer is simply: lazy design |

alright, mastodon early signs, not good. looking at the docs, it's like "hey, i said like usenet, not like fucking uucp" but it's just to rough to take off, i'm thinking. then i find this: ~ Stealing passwords from infosec Mastodon Everybody on our Twitter feed seemed to be jumping ship to the infosec.exchange Mastodon server, so I decided to see what the fuss was all about. After figuring out why exactly you had to have loads of @ symbols in your username, I began to have a look at how secure it was. If you've followed me on Twitter you'll know I like to post vectors and test the limits of the app I'm using, and today was no exception. First, I began testing to see if HTML or Markdown was supported. I did a couple of "tweets" to see if you could have code blocks (how cool would that be?) but nothing seemed to work. That is, until @ret2bed pointed out that you could change your preferences to enable HTML! That's right people, a social network that enables you to post HTML - what could possibly go wrong? |

the USP of xltronic is the people on it, and that is definitely one thing urbit is strong at rn, farmoreso than mastodon if you are of a certain inclination, which i rekon u r |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey what happens if we all run our own mastodon instance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i'll share my take when you stop using 'thot' or i guess not, is an article i don't think we have enough collective power to overthrow a capitalist, established thing like twitter oh, and your server will be cut off from the fediverse pretty quickly if you're being misogynist and otherwise reactionary |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so the obvious thing to do would be to set up a new forum and start with "please enter your xltronic login and password to prove your identity" that trolling aside, theoretically, anyone could make a thread here and essentially say, "verify yourself on riced out yugo forums" and just post from your account saying what your account is in the thread, thus authorizing, and that's that. xltronic as a root certificate; a chain of trust. grave times |

i'll share my take when you stop using 'thot' i remember where i learned a lot of words. i could take you to the exact physical spot i learned the word "myriad," for example, within inches. i don't remember where it was when i absorbed "thot" but i do remember it was from an interview with one richard d. james. and if it's good enough for him who are you to say me no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess 'thot' also is english for 'thought' i'm referring to the Twitch-related popularized meaning of it, though thnx for the explanation |
||||||||
|
|

|

i just donated a bit. i guess the easiest, still, is to keep this board up |

anyone could make a thread here and essentially say, "verify yourself on riced out yugo forums" and just post from your account saying what your account is in the thread, thus authorizing, and that's that. xltronic as a root certificate; a chain of trust. grave times that so long as as you do not say "hay i'm going to sign up as bla bla bla" or sign up as blaBlahAH and starting talking without tying it up and you've made your own mess if you wait six days and mermaidman sweeps in and muddies the waters. that's what (s)he's here for; to keep us sharp more technically: the most important thing about xltronic at this point is that it has been aging like laphroaig; it's been cut off from signups since before tiktok was a twinkle in XJ's anus. does anyone here use twitter? i've no clue. etc. but again, the thing where is is the locals pub where sean connery shows up sometimes. locals know to mostly leave him alone, but, one night, they get up some courage and... "what was the best fuck you ever had?" no answer. they get the hint and go back to their own fings. but, as he's leaving, he says "[forget], 1967... up the arse" and this was a joke someone on xlt told, and it's perfect, that's this place at this point. but more like someone i've heard of have probably pissed me off at someone point or another and i've absolutely no clue and that's hilarious to me so if it must melt down let's at least exfiltrate the chain of nonsense somehow. but i don't think it has to |

much bigger for me is "fings" same interview; drukqs era |

if we all donate to phobiazero, he can buy twitter from elon |

no, no, no. the bitcoin blockchain, a public ledger for everyone; that's also wrong. you need user accounts tied to a key file like you'd use for github. that you can download the whole giant internet full of chat if you are so inclined, but since it's all heavily encrypted, you still user accounts, along with DMs. moderation is not a concern; that's on the client end. any money in this will be in writing clients; and it will never be $30b unicorns. for everyone's sake |

i need, essentially, the budget to hire someone that really, really knows cryptography, and to pay my bills for a year or so. in particular, i feel like a smart stealth bet is to harden against quantum computer attax |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or, no, just hope this place sticks around; i'll settle for that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'moderation is not a concern; that's on the client end' that sounds like an idea a feature of xlt, of course, is that you can't block people (not yourself at least). pretty unique nowadays |
||||||||
|
|

better idea let's see how fast Elon can turn Twitter into Xltronic |

i don't tell my friends i post on xltronic, because i suspect Trump 2016 started here |

mastodon't has anyone used that yet? if not I'm copyrighting it TRUMP 2024! |

I meant that not long ago only a select few had a public voice, a voice that was heard outside their circle of friends and family. |

A voice that wasn’t heard outside friends and family* |

friends and family are not enough for epic’s voice not even xltronic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone needs to make a new internet for epic and everyone must have access except you can’t participate only read and YOU HAVE TO |

it's like the telescreens in 1984 except you learn about the digitakt users manual |

oooohh epic teleart |
||||||||
|

Wasn’t talking about epic btw. Just Twitter mastodon etc |

Put anything interesting up your bottom recently? |

It was a tense engagement, but RusellDust clearly comes out on top with the homosexual innuendo. Mermaidman slinks back into the darkness to regroup. Extra points awarded for using the term "bottom," but the judging panel informs me "rear end" or "anus" would have also been a victory. |

these guys are out here playing for keeps, folks. this isn't your grandmother's xltronic. |
