@andymoose But I'm so glad you're "happy"
You're worried about my blocking you, but you're "happy" that you've frustrated the hell out of me.
Patience gone.

"#Mozilla has missed so many boats that it's not even funny to #catalog them, but sadly, I must."
"Most of the #web runs on #advertising, as it has for 20-plus years. You might think Mozilla would, say, buy and integrate an #adblocker. Acquiring #adblocking #companies has been a thing for a #decade. Other #browsers integrate ad-blocking, and you don't even need something controversial like #Brave – for instance, #VivaldiBrowser has offered it for years. Many of the #team behind #Vivaldi previously made #Opera, and it #blocked #ads too. (Soon afterwards, the company sold it to a #Chinese group.)
But no. Instead, Mozilla goes and buys an #ad firm and then removes its promise not to #sell your #data. Once again, it's as if the #leadership were actively trying to work out the worst direction to turn."
"The #AI trend is a cult now for many.
Whither Mozilla? Oh, it built a #bot into its docs #server in 2023, then promptly had to turn it off again. Its #chief product #officer was quite gung-ho about AI in early 2024. He left the company soon afterwards.
In 2024, Mozilla made more layoffs and announced it would invest in open source #AI. This year, Mozilla finally integrated a #vertical #tab bar into #Firefox and, you guessed it, built an AI #chatbot into it. You can, at least, turn it off."
@GottaLaff today has been a day… ffs #blocked @yianiris @HistoPol @SnowshadowII
I’m not a big “blocker” even on #X, though I do have my limits -- slurs, threats, etc. Tonight, I #blocked someone on #Fediverse for the first time after multiple attempts to end a discussion well were met with out-of-thin-air slander and crudeness from an individual who had commented on something I'd posted. I mention that because I actually think that speaks well of the Fediverse: such things seem almost surprising on here. Thank you, Fediverse, for being different -- even when we don't always agree on a subject!
@GottaLaff #blocked her too. I read the first convo and that was too much. Now she comes back with another account? Wow @SnowshadowII @HarriettMB
@jeff @TheAdmin can u please assist w my concern re #threads access to our postings & #fediverse per this update #Threads is largest app to adopt #ActivityPub, protocol powering the fediverse, worrying some that Meta will take over decentralized, open source social network made up of interconnected servers. Though Threads isn’t yet full integrated, already some #Mastodon server operators have preemptively #blocked Threads, so their users can’t interact w Meta-run social network and vice versa.
@GottaLaff @SnowshadowII can’t take it truthfully? How terrible @mwguy #blocked
@GottaLaff already #blocked @ducker@union.place already. I read the response and felt he was mischaracterizing what you were saying-
@Wileymiller
@huntingdon thanks for not reading my response #replyguy I’m not wasting anymore effort #blocked @GottaLaff
@GottaLaff I #blocked her too. She jumped to conclusions whilst judging you for the same- I changed my comment but clearly others understood what I meant

@GottaLaff #blocked them both. The one guy did look familiar so I wonder if he had another account that I’d already blocked. Happy to block again if so!
@GottaLaff @Snowshadow
#blocked at least he wasn’t a woman in a bikini
Here's half your answer, right here:

Looks like a very small Japanese instance, probably (maybe) with wide-open signons
#Muted and #Blocked and #DomainBlocked the lot of it
Ah, the classic tale of tech bros mistaking #AI for their personal Picasso, only to be thwarted by a #CAPTCHA and a "blocked" sign. Maybe the real creative genius was the security protocol they met along the way.
