| schestowitz | [01:12] <Source> I will say Alex and I got into this bizarre debate about what it means to be a libertarian | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:13] <schestowitz> ah...libertarians... | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:13] <schestowitz> a bit of a cult | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:13] <schestowitz> macho and pseudo-machos | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:13] <Source> I have some of my own origin story there, but I've distanced myself from the label | Feb 15 04:17 |

| schestowitz | [01:14] <schestowitz> I finish my work shift in 2 mins | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:14] <Source> anyways, Nat also considers himself a libertarian | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:15] <Source> he tweets about Austrian econ sometimes | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:15] <Source> I suspect he's related to the seasteading guy Patri Friedman | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:16] <Source> but Alex thinks that being a libertarian means you can say whatever you want and nobody can get offended | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:16] <Source> and getting offending is a free speech restriction | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:17] <schestowitz> Austrians do have a reputation for this | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:17] <schestowitz> Mises etc. | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:17] <schestowitz> Kinsella is one that I follow | Feb 15 04:17 |

| schestowitz | [01:18] <Source> who enforces the patents? | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:21] <Source> I hardly care anymore. I mostly just want to be able to live my life without someone trying to ruin me because I won't fuck them | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:22] <schestowitz> hacker culture in the coding sense focuses more on engineering | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:22] <schestowitz> sounds like alex was just a nutjob of sorts | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:23] <schestowitz> so he compensated with connection and faking it "till you make it" | Feb 15 04:17 |
| schestowitz | [01:23] <schestowitz> like the bitcoin charlatan thing | Feb 15 04:17 |

| schestowitz | [01:28] <schestowitz> not just white | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:28] <Source> like a white woman using her privilege to hurt a POC is one thing | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:29] <Source> But I keep hearing this theme that white women basically need to shut up about feminism until WOC have rights | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:29] <schestowitz> btw | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:29] <schestowitz> we wrote many things about those issues as well | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:30] <schestowitz> it's a partisan and polarity issue | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:30] <schestowitz> in rotting society, sectarian conflict is a thing | Feb 15 04:18 |
| schestowitz | [01:30] <schestowitz> FB and Twitter inflame that | Feb 15 04:18 |

| schestowitz | [01:40] <schestowitz> not that I care | Feb 15 04:18 |

| schestowitz | [01:42] <Source> the only reason I brought Alex's comments up was he used it as a defense for saying something hurtful to lesbian friends of mine | Feb 15 04:19 |

| schestowitz | [01:46] <Source> but, yeah... Miguel is very performative and it's annoying. | Feb 15 04:19 |

| schestowitz | [01:54] <Source> yeah... if Alex was ever honest with me at all, he seemed a bit envious of the world outside of that circle | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:55] <Source> because he's essentially a loser in that group | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:55] <Source> we went and looked at the Porsche 9/11 and he almost let out tears over not being able to afford it | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:56] <Source> btc was like 3K at the time. I was always super confused about his money situation | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:56] <Source> he had the fake mastercard blackcard | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:57] <Source> it's like $500 annual fee. I could have one if I felt like wasting money | Feb 15 04:19 |
| schestowitz | [01:58] <Source> some things he said, it sounded like they would bully him for dating someone like me seriously. it's very weird brand of toxic masculinity | Feb 15 04:19 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Maybe they should mention to Miguel that they pretty much disappeared Hispanic/Latino people in the Super Bowl ads this year, as well as Asians. | Feb 15 04:19 |

| schestowitz | @Doc Edward Morbius (defunct account) @Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) guys, seriously?! Okay, I’m usually the kind of nice guy, trying to understand others, being always polite etc. But wth are you doing right now? It’s the very first time since 12 years that I’m using diaspora* that I’m actually about to loose my calm. | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Why are you writing things like "The bottom line is, we’ve quite likely found a new “podadmin” ", even worse, publicly?! | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Where on earth did you read that Denis would take over joindiaspora? He won’t, and joindiaspora will be closed, as planned. What the foundation (not only Denis, stop pointing one person when we’re a community) is offering right now, is to help Lukas fixing the bad state of joindiaspora so that exports can be made. As you understand from the discussion above, the state is so bad that it will take more that 15 days to do this, this is why Dennis | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | said the closing won’t be the 1st March. He is not saying at all that the close won’t happen, nor that he is taking over as the new podmin. | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Seriously, you guys are pushing everyone to the limits right now… Why are you speculating on everything? | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Fla | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Fla - about 6 hours ago | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Just to be clear, because Denis indeed proposed 3 years ago to take over joindiaspora: this offer isn’t valid anymore. | Feb 15 19:47 |

| schestowitz | Your point on who’s committed to what is well taken. I’d not made the claim in question. | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | Claritiy in communications and not making inaccurate or unsupported claims is a large part of what I’m advocating from those involved here, and is why I’ve been calling strongly for clear and regular statements as to status, even where that status is “unknown”. | Feb 15 19:47 |

| schestowitz | @Fla @Dennis Schubert There’s a good nutshell guide to crisis communications in the sense I have in mind in this January 2022 interview with Zeynep Tufekci on pandemics as a communications emergency (NY Times). Edting lightly for clarity: | Feb 15 19:47 |
| schestowitz | [A] pandemic is a communication emergency. You have to be right. You have to be first. You have to be credible. [Y]ou have to be out there with the information … and you have to be right about it. [That] could be “we don’t know”. [The] idea is not that you [provide] false comfort to people. You say, “all right, we got Omicron. It looks like antibody evading could probably cause breakthroughs. We don’t know about severity. But here’ | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | s what we need to do for the three different possibilities”… | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Those principles largely apply here: | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Provide regular updates. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Provide accurate information. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Address specific concerns. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | If the answer is “we don’t know”, then say “we don’t know”. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | I’d suggest that the goal here should be for people to plan and execute effectively: | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Will I be able to continue using JoindiasporaCom? THE SAFEST ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION NOW IS NO, YOU CANNOT. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Related: who will take over the Pod if it is to continue operation? Presently: nobody. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | If not, when should I move off the pod? THE SAFEST ANSWER IS “AS SOON AS POSSIBLE”. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | How do I export my data? Use the Profile Settings /user/edit link. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | If I am unable to export my data, what assistance process is there? PRESENTLY: NONE. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Will there be an attempt to publicly archive JoindiasporaCom? I’ve tried to alert the ArchiveTeam about this, I’ve yet to hear back. They’d be interested in tools for effectively spidering the entire site, and potential pitfalls which might occur. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | What happens to old content, and will it remain visible where it’s been federated, and interactive (new likes, comments, reshares) or not? I’m unsure of this, though suspect non-deleted data will remain visible but cannot be interacted with. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Based on the recent-actives, I’m presuming that roughly 500 – 1,000 profiles are likely of interest to be preserved, though that count might go higher. I’m presuming that most of the 300k or so accounts never had appreciable traffic. Some groups, such as the Internet Archive and Archive Team take a “preserve everything” approach, my own philosophy is somewhat more pragmatic. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | There’s a question of how the site will respond to heavy spidering, and whether or not a dump of public content and transfer to one of the Internet Archive’s Collections might be more appropriate. I raise this possibility. Given responses to date I doubt that’s in the cards, but I’m open to pleasant surprises. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | I’ve stated my own actions in my planning comment above. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | I strongly encourage others now on JoindiapsoraCom to do likewise: | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Create a new Diaspora* or Fediverse profile elsewhere, immediately. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Announce this from your current JoindiasporaCom profile, both in posts and in your profile biography. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | If you can export data, do so. If not … hope for the best but anticipate that those data will be lost. (Regular backups and archives are useful for a reason…) | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Reconnect with your followers. That’s a fairly manual process, but in most cases goes smoothly. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Continue on with life. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | On data archival, tools to automate external extracts from Joindiaspora* might prove useful and I’ll look into that possibility myself. A challenge is that basic site functionality requires Javascript, so that simple web-scraping approaches … don’t quite work. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Tilting at windmills is a great deal of fun, and I engage in this myself. Sometimes we simply need to do the needful, however, and focus on what can be accomplished, and do all we can to accomplish that. Recognise when you must let go of things, and then let go of them. | Feb 15 19:48 |

| schestowitz | Folks, chill. The diaspora* project’s core team is actively engaging, and we will make sure that nobody will loose access to their data. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | At the moment, there are no details to be announced because we’re still working things out. We will announce the plans as soon as they are ready. We don’t need any help with funding or anything else. If there is any input from y’all required, we will explicitly ask for that via a channel you will not miss. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Don’t worry about the March 1st timeline - even if our preparations are not done by then, everything will be fine. Please refrain from spamming Lukas, me, or anyone else. That doesn’t make things go any faster. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Make yourself a hot chocolate or something and relax. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | That is all I have to say at this point in time. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | Stop mentioning me, you’re starting to get on my nerves. As I said multiple times already, there will be an update once there is something to update. And as also said multiple times, I am not going to engage in any kind of speculation about what “might” happen until the team knows what will happen. | Feb 15 19:48 |

| schestowitz | Those who don’t care to be mentioned can … probably help the situation by not mentioning that they don’t care to be mentioned. We’re aware you’ll check back on Saturday, and really, unless something absolutely explodes, that is fine and sufficient. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | They might also consider potential enhancements for Diaspora* itself which make such crisis communications more viable and less annoying. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | This is in fact a crisis, and there’s going to be a lot of communication and discussion. Much of it will be noisy. The point is to minimise the pain around this point. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | During the peak of the Google+ exodus, in which I also played an informational role, I was seeing upwards of 200 notifications per site on Diaspora*, Google+, and Reddit, per day. Yeah, that got a bit old. | Feb 15 19:48 |
| schestowitz | My approach was to note (usually in a post to my profile) when I’d hit saturation and simply cleared out notifications, declaring “notification bankruptcy”. I also made heavy use of Diaspora*'s ability to clear by type of notification. Likes, reshares, and comments aren’t so important, direct mentions I would at least try to take a look. | Feb 15 19:49 |
| schestowitz | I suspect Diaspora*'s design intent is not as a crisis communications tool. Design intent and actual use frequently diverge. See Desire Paths. | Feb 15 19:49 |
| schestowitz | And to be clear: no response is expected or necessary. | Feb 15 19:49 |
