I thought the iconic logo of Catodon :catodon: called 'Psipsipsi' could be made an emoji set to complement its rebirth. So anyone feel free to copy any or all to your own instance.

I was curious about :threads: Threads (as compared to :X_twitter: and :bluesky: Bluesky) but I deleted my Facebook account years ago and want nothing with them. Thankfully others have made the sacrifice and I'll leave you with great insight from a quote from @matdevdug@c.im:

"Threads was worthless because it’s the most boring social media website ever imagined. It’s a social media network designed by brands for brands, like if someone made a cable channel that was just advertisements and meta commentary about the advertisements you just saw. Billions of dollars at their disposal and Meta made a hot new social media network with the appeal of junk mail."

"Somebody made an analogy that calling LLMs AI behavior is like getting close to creating a conscious computer is like when people in the 18th century discovered galvanism and though because they could make a dead frog's leg twitch with electricity that they were close to being able to raise the dead."

That is not a great analogy. Even though I was informed by multiple people on a recent similar post that Defibrillators only reset the heart of a person experiencing cardiac arrhythmia meaning that is not a true revival. That it helps prevent a person from dying; not bringing a dead person back to life. That is a modern medical understanding and perspective.
But let me ask you: If you had a cardiac arrest before the 1950s, what were the chances of being revived? If not cero, close to it.
Before modern medicine, cardiac arrest was viewed as an irreversible process. CPR and defibrillation blurred the lines of what was considered “death.” It became possible to “bring back” individuals who had seemingly met the traditional definition of being past the point of revival. Modern medicine redefined death. So technically, 18th c. people who believed that were right.
In fact, nowadays anyone that experience a cardiac arrest and does not get CPR or defibrillation, you're essentially dead the moment it started.
And that is why from that perspective, electricity does revive the dead.

@jeawhiz@woof.group , @imalcolm@mastodon.social I could not reply on the other post as I was muted but, if there is anything wrong about my perspective please feel free to reply. Or not, I just wanted to let it out.

I might start a collection of Implicit Rules on the Fediverse.

1. When replying to others, if you are not a 'Yes man' you are a 'Reply Guy'.

@Overgoddess@bardicperspiration.club That make sense for instances made for small to medium communities but if there is no big instances with open registration, I fear that will eventually result in the death of the Fediverse as a whole. As the saying goes "We cannot have the cake and eat it too". I see the tedious work of moderating and regular cleanups as the price to pay for accessibility and growth. Instead I believe a focus on optimizing and improving the process of identifying and removing the spam accounts is a better approach to the problem.

@Overgoddess@bardicperspiration.club I understand, this is the kind of problem that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If the removal of Spam accounts becomes much easier, then dealing with the harassers would be too because the mods won't be as occupied as before. I seriously doubt a "vibe check" would stop committed trolls & harrasers and the more you harden the "vibe check", what will it become? An exclusive instance. People would be stopped at the door not because they are harrasers or trolls but because they think differently or have different values.

I think I know what you mean. Is this a better description: Catodon is an open source platform for building federated communities. In other words is a software that helps you build a social network that connects with other communities, in what is commonly know as the Fediverse. For reference the User Interface or layout is similar to other social networks platforms like Mastodon but with added functionality and a much nicer UI. By default the experience is Microbloggin but it also has functionality of Forums, Blog, RSS, Direct Messages page with chat-style threads, and many more features. The User Experience is focused on making it easier to use, easier to understand, and comfortable for daily use.
