Thanks!

It’s not so much about wholly removing webgl contrasted to at least having some sort of fallback that allows the site to be experienced, but thanks again for at least tackling the change.

This is something that would make for quite an interesting Internet Archive.

Heh, forgot to account for that!

I seem to remember an instance somewhere had a quite great idea, they would have their admin team request a bottle of wine or similar plus a picture of the payment voucher as a form of adult identification. Their argument was that if someone can legally buy drinks then they are legally adult, and thus they could verify with that without ever requiring any sort of PII.

Heck if I know, but at least we know of the ones who are (eg.: feddit.org are “good German soldiers”).

It’s been on the public fediverse eye enough that I don’t need to do your homework for you, but just look for mentions to piefed in this same sub. One of the exemplary things that was found was that you can’t eg.: “upload a picture that contains the word ‘anonymous’” and that Piefed lies to you about why.

Oh that’s absolutely understandable. The more with how bloated interfaces tend to be these days.

Just mind, you have to consider what does it mean for your instance to be open enough to serve you everything in one account.

the situation in Gaza is actually different than the situation in Nazi Germany

Last I checked, the genocidal state of Israel is actually using weapons to vaporize Palestinians, thus leaving not even a trace of a war crime. Would you like to amend your statement?

“By their actions you shall recognize them” and all that.

You know you can just have multiple accounts on multiple instances, right? That gets you just about as full a view on the Fediverse as you might want. Heck, the only reason I’m not doing it is because I’m lazy.

Also, whining about db0 then moving to the instance that literally implements CCP politics and shadow profiling and comes from a dev known to have had a chip against heteronormativity and weirdness (if not against neurodivergence) is… not the win you think it is.

Oooh the irony!

That’s literally the best and fairest way to deal with that kind of stuff here. No risky permissivity, no manhunts / withchunts, no putting the onus on other people. db0 as an instance is weird for a lot of thigs, but honestly, compared to the rest of the world, not on that.

So, they are basically announcing that they are

forming a committee

to figure out

how to talk about

how to understand the stuff?

…Honestly, it could have been a lot worse.

Sure why not, avoid them all you want.

Just sayin’, we don’t need no stinkin’ tiktok style censorship around here.

To be fair, I should have stopped drinking coffee 10 years ago for my blood pressure.

Once again, something that is absolutely not needed to explain what a forum software is and thus, should degrade gracefully. To a static png or something.

The era of not judging the means ended in, like, 1066 or smth. Vibe-coded stuff for example means burning down a couple of forests just so the AI can propose where to place a semicolon, long before a “result” is even visible.

It’s 2026, being vibecoded is a self-explanatory problem.

This is the fediverse. You are FREE to use swear words! Shitshow! Cuntwad! Shitter!

As for

Why do they have to convert any nice product into a s.itshow?

Money, dear boy. Those VC shekels don’t pump up in value to support genocide by themselves!

Oh, so it is, hadn’t noticed it at first.

And, sure enough, disabling webgl in about:config causes the page to throw the error, instead of degrading gracefully. An animation of random dots is not at all necessary to expose about a product that is a web forum.
