What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.

Bitcoin Is Crashing So Hard That Miners Are Unplugging Their Equipment
futurism.com/future-society/bi
Bitcoin is crashing hard, reaching historic lows of well below the $70K mark. At the time of writing, the token is hovering just above $63K, levels we haven’t seen since Oct 2024.

The ongoing plunge has made it far less economical to mine the digital token, a notoriously compute- and energy-intensive process — to the point that large-scale computing companies are starting to unplug their equipment

I would contend most moderation in the fedi is poor because it focuses on obvious hate and pretty much ignores the conditions that allows hate to thrive.

Blacksky’s moderation is effective because it follows a community model that takes cultural context into account that is able to recognize hate vectors and eliminate them before they take root.

The lack of diversity in the fedi combined with its general aversion to decent tooling has made this almost impossible.

We can’t even agree racism exists here even if one doesn’t explicitly see it despite the reality of people constantly leaving because of it.

In this context, the ugly truth is that it’s just easier to deal with corporate social media despite it’s many deficiencies.

古今東西、「移民」がミックスさせて更新されてきたロックミュージック、ポピュラーミュージックの世界に住む者、恩恵にあずかる者たちは、排外主義の政治を絶対に許すなよ。お前が好きなその音楽は、「移民」がお前の元に運んできた音楽なのだ。

Hey fellow admins, here's something you can do to make the fediverse massively better for anyone who's a woman and/or Black: ban "reply guys", mansplainers, and sea lions (wondermark.com/c/1062/) on your server. You know what I mean. Make a rule against it. Encourage other people to report it. Go into the comments of a popular post and proactively block or ban the people engaging in this behaviour. If a particular server is known to be bad for this because the admins tolerate this behaviour from their users, preemptively mute or block it server-wide. Consider public shaming.

Just because it's not outright harassment or slurs doesn't make it okay. It still actively drives people away.

If this is an undue burden for you or your moderators, your server is too big. Stop accepting new users and add more moderators.
