I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂

I think we agree on the limited capability of (what is currently passed off as) “artificial intelligence”, yes.
According to that research mentioned in the article, the answer is yes. The big caveats are
Let’s take that etymology one step further: “fan” comes from “fanatic”, so a stan is a stalker fanatic. Which somehow has become a positive term in some circles.
Need to read up on smoke signals and/or carrier pigeons 🙂
Welp, there goes the [online] neighbourhood! It was nice knowing you all.
Was my first impulse too, but looking at their app selection now, it seems kind of … inutile? Unsexy? Old?
Very interesting comparison! I watched The prisoner a while back, and I was blown away by it, especially given the show’s age. I never considered this angle, though. Thanks for giving me an excuse to rewatch it 😆

I’m confused, which is it?
The quality about the fediverse that I appreciate the most is the fact that nobody on any of its platforms raised an eyebrow at having a rainbow-coloured pentagram for a logo, until the first Twitter exodus when some newcomer primed for spotting the mildest of outrage-by-proxy gasped, “Have you seen this? Somebody might get upset!”
Meanwhile, the pentagram has been warding off hyperbolic fundamentalists since 2018. The fediverse is much chiller without them. 🤘

Give it three days, it’ll rise again.
