title: Dear Musk defectors, here's some Fediverse basics to help you understand what it's all about author: 寮 date: 2022-04-27 15:30:00 tags: blog,technology,darknet,anonymity,privacy,internet

I perfectly understand you really hate the fact that your favorite soycial media platform Shitter is being "run" by an Afro-American, so you're finally discovering the Fediverse.
This is great, because we're an all inclusive bunch of motherfuckers from all sorts of hobbies, birth places I mean countries, skin colors, sexual orientations, genders (even though there are only 2 of those), political beliefs, languages, and so on.
However, Shitter is not the same as Fediverse, and vice versa.
Let me explain the differences:

Twitter Fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey)
Usage of the word "NIGGER" Illegal and punishable by artificial "law" Depends on the instance
Live and let live standards None Any instance run by adults of capable of doing so
Discrimination Only allowed to discriminate straight white men Depends on the instance, ranging between fully allowed and fully bannable, with quite a few having double standards
Which rules apply Twitter TOS Whatever instance you're using or viewing its content from
Who runs the instance? The Twitter CEO Whoever the owner of the instance in question is
Bannable offense Anything Depends on the instance
Takes reports seriously? Only if the reporter in question is anything other than a straight white male, otherwise no Depends on how reasonable the report in question is
Racism and sexism Only against straight white males allowed Depends on the instance
Do instances have to comply with the rules of other instances? There's only 1 instance, so of course nope.
Type of service Centralized corporation owned by BlackCock and Vanguard (and Tesla lol) Decentralized and federated

We understand it's very hard to understand the fact that virgin Web 2.0's Shitter isn't like chad Web 1.0's Fediverse, so if you can't adjust yourself to the new environment, then go the fuck back to Shitter, you've already destroyed Shitter, and we don't need you to do the same thing here.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Kind regards.
