Extremely with @steveklabnik.com here. It’s been months and months of seeing people I respect say easily demonstrably false things. People who are reasonable except on this one topic. Not just a different opinions or preferences, but things that are not real. It broke me a bit.

You should be able to use the "new" binary to generate a new challenge file: github.com/ebfull/power... It's been a while since we used this code so I can't guarantee things will work well.

only in the mind of an extremely online internet hall monitor do any of these “scandals” matter. yes, they have to play whack-a-mole with abusive users. we accepted this reality when we signed up

people who feel it’s “inexcusable” for a dev team to not have implemented whatever feature are welcome to start their own instance and write their own clients and figure out all of the missing protocol level details for federation and figure out the emergent economic incentives of the protocol and

bottom line is nobody has the power to kick other people off the internet. but infrastructure providers can decide what is allowed on their infra and set rules there.

i do and i have but i’m sure there will be cases where it looks like they’re engaging in good faith and i won’t know what to do, and everyone will start yelling at me. the moderation policies here are not going to be “ban whoever the loudest group hates”
