@happyborg@fosstodon.org @jonny@neuromatch.social As I understand it, cheap community-sized services are well supported for the PDS and relay layers. There's at least one suitable AppView (database for caching subscribed feeds et c.) implementation, but for obvious reasons it gets much less use and resources than the corresponding Fedi component.

@krans@mastodon.me.uk @humeanbeing@mastodon.social As far as I understand, the historically illiterate right uses that word to describe authoritarianism perpetrated by their political opponents. If @humeanbeing@mastodon.social really wants to interpret Starmer as a communist, I'd say he's closest to an accelerationist: attempting to create revolutionary conditions by worsening the conditions of the proletariat.

@SteveBellovin Coulda fooled me. https://thehill.com/news/3256719-47-states-require-the-pledge-of-allegiance-be-recited-in-schools-here-is-a-breakdown-of-each-states-laws/

@moshimotsu@floss.social @urlyman@mastodon.social Agreed: I think all but the biggest Fedi servers come with a kind of community, that both defines and is reinforced by the limited post visibility.

@JdeBP @cstross So will this impact the number of students pursuing these degrees, or just the cost (and hence by default the quality) of their education?

@moshimotsu@floss.social @urlyman@mastodon.social ” Following” and user-defined Lists have chronological feeds, but Bluesky also has a ”Discover” feed that I glance at every so often. The ATproto system architecture is pluggable, so anyone can process the firehose and generate an algorithmic feed (or multiple personalized ones) that people can subscribe to; I only follow one. The way comment propagation works here on Fedi makes the place seem smaller than it is, since you mostly don’t see others’ conversations.

@8r3n7@mstdn.ca @bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot @cstross@wandering.shop @Green_Footballs@mastodon.social The evolution deniers usually don't deny that evolution (variance and selection of heritable traits) exists. Their red line (motte in the motte-and-bailey meme) is whether the origin of humans was due to evolutionary speciation or divine intent. An awfully narrow crack for a wedge issue, especially since the misunderstanders aren't very historically or scientifically inclined.
