**Comunicazione di servizio: Poliverso.org sta per bloccare l'istanza mastodon.cloud

@fediverso

Entro qualche giorno provvederemo a bloccare l'istanza mastodon.cloud così come hanno già fatto e stanno già facendo altre istanze del Fediverso. Poliverso ha già provveduto a "silenziare" mastodon.cloud dal 14 aprile, ma finora non avevamo ancora praticato il blocco, perché noi moderatori volevamo capire se il drammatico peggioramento della moderazione di quel server fosse dovuto a un problema temporaneo.

Come indicato da @iftas i moderatori di mastodon.cloud non sembrano essere più interessati ad applicare politiche di moderazione per arginare trolling, disinformazione, pornografia e suprematismo:
mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/1164…

Purtroppo molti utenti di quella istanza non si rendono conto di quello che succede nella timeline locale anche a causa dell'ergonomia dell'app "ufficiale" di Mastodon che ormai rende estremamente raro per un utente affacciarsi nella timeline della propria istanza.

I nostri utenti che hanno ancora collegamenti con gli utenti di quella istanza potranno decidere se contattare quegli utenti per invitarli a spostarsi altrove o se migrare via da Poliverso.org.

A questo proposito, approfittiamo per avvisare alcuni degli utenti di mastodon.cloud tra i più seguiti dagli utenti di Poliverso.org, invitandoli a trasferirsi presso altre istanze: @marcantonio @OpenForumEurope @illogical_me @gianmix @ilgigante77

This is something that drives me nuts: "eating healthy is more expensive".

Here's a good example: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2026/apr/20/ultra-processed-foods-diet-healthy-eating

"We decided to cut down on UPFs" — okay, I'm with you.

"So now we buy everything Organic/Pasture/Artisanal from a local farmer's market" — well, of course that's expensive! But it has nothing to do with cutting down on UPFs. You can still buy cheaper raw foods from your grocery store.

Stop tying one to another and scaring people away from eating healthy.

Not to put it all on tech, but I do wonder how much of the reduction in donations to non-profits Seattle arts organizations is a direct result of so many local tech folks losing their jobs, and with it the disposable income that would've fueled those donations.

okay Vee, you win today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda with this magnificent TL;DR of USians’ ignorance of politics:

❝ What American people think the political spectrum is:

Far Right: Trump
Right: Bush
Center: Bloomberg
Left: Warren
Far Left: Sanders

What actually is

Far Right: Trump, Bush, Bloomberg
Right: Warren
Center: Sanders
Left/Far-Left: anybody here gets killed by the CIA ❞

ps: this is why #California #Democrats need to nuke into oblivion billionaire parasite and Bloomberg buddie, Tom Steyer

Substack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.

So I went ahead and made a browser extension.

Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.

Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.

All you nerds stuck with Palo Alto firewalls, I have a request: Would you please submit a feature request / enhancement request with them to be able to block by ASN similarly to how they enable geoblocking? I keep getting told that I am the only one who requested it and there is no interest from other customers. I know that's a lie so if more of you created the requests, that would be great. Even better would be if you were able to DM me the ER number so I can throw a stack of them at my rep if they claim no one else is asking for it.

Dog because it's always a good day for dog.

ok, some education for cis people

"taking estrogen has a risk of cancer" - because you grow boobs. Having boobs means having a risk of breast cancer, same as for cis women

If somebody says estrogen should be gatekept because of cancer risk, they are spreading misinformation

hopefully it's not news for anybody who follows me, but hey, might as well

The Onion completes its acquisition of InfoWars, with creative director Tim Heidecker!!!

Tim has already been practically making a parody of InfoWars-like podcasts as part of his show On Cinema at the Cinema (search for “Xposed” or “Zero Hour”)

That’s gonna be awesome.

An interesting experiment, maybe: Answer the poll, and then consider that the person talking about using the LLM is a recent stroke victim, suffering from aphasia, sharing that their LLM use is enabling them to communicate clearly for the first time in a month. Would that change your answer?
