I seem to remember the creator of Wolfenstein asking that question shortly before the release of one of their games, in the late 2000s I think. We should have seen the writing on the wall.

In other words, these veterans did what was asked of them.

They could just have not.

An important lesson to learn. People in position to do something these days in the face of Nazism are weenies. All the time I'm hearing "this or that judge or officer resigns to give way to Nazis / Doges, instead of planting their feet". Heck while not meaning to offend, it's got to be said, if Eastern Europeans can do civility better than you, my boy, that does say something big.

Please at least (or, well, at most) make it 8.1...

Something like catching the oppressors for public displays and having some guillotines around would also help. The MAGA dipshits are only proud when they are hiding behind their online handles or protected by the safety of "I was just following orders", but I severely doubt they'd flaunt their principles that much when stuck with the IRL consequences of their actions addressed at their names and faces (and necks).

Is it really biblically accurate? The scissors are not open...

For "voice chats with text", Mumble. Hopefully Jabber or in the worst case scenario Matrix for the general use case.

Insert "they're the same picture" corporate picture meme. Also, cry me a river.

Shorter but just as good, there was The Speed of Time.

Suspicious, that's exactly what Trump said would happen.

 
 
 

More or less title.

The idea is, one can already excise the corporation social media somewhat, or limit their reach into your content, if you self-host your social media (or at least if you participate in the Fediverse, say on Mastodon Lemmy etc) and instead link or cross post to corporate ones such as say Twitter or Discord.

But I'm looking for something to self-host that is better geared to do this with small snippets of text that (mostly) stand by themselves. Something that would fit in a original!tweet or even smaller and would not have much use for the "conversation workflow" UI of corporate social media.

The two use cases I'm aiming for are:

  • instead of posting something creative directly on eg.: Reddit or Discord (by which in the latter it would get locked and lost in that blackhole), I just post it in $THINGY and then link it on Reddit / Discord. That way I also retain license.
  • having a "local" archive of my comments on various stuff that I can tag, query or consult on, or even easily share with other people.

At first I thought "maybe what I'm looking is micro-blogging" but on second thought it feels like I'm looking for something even smaller than that? I'm not at all sure, so I thought to ask around here what would you guys self-host for this kind of thing or if it's even a Thing.

Cheers.
