Yes, that @oliphant@oliphant.social, now running olifant.social on a droplet.
I sometimes work for the fedi and code stuff. I write about blocklists, and island networks and don't like nazis. I'm unfortunately a US citizen. Vegan for the animals and environment, not to lecture you with.
I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 , Palestine 🇵🇸, and Canada 🇨🇦, for the sovereignty of Greenland, for the rights of the trans community :Flag_Trans:, as I stand with any group denied rights or bullied by an aggressor, I oppose and will always oppose all wars of aggression regardless of rationale or excuse; and while my government is overrun with Nazis, I also stand against it.
I'm also a native of Minnesota, and fuck ICE.
Things I've Made/Am Making:
- Posty - Mastodon (and Pixelfed) export to static HTML site generator!
- Pelago - Community moderation, island management, allowlists, blocklists, and island networks. All the stuff I wish had already existed for managing allowlists and creating easy networks between GTS islands, via the use of a single subscribeable feed. It also integrates with the FIRES protocol.
- FediCheck - Subscribeable Fediblockhole that pushes blocks to your Mastodon instance. This one is not open source (at least not yet, but I do have the code and permission to open-source it, so that's coming.) I did some contract work to create this originally for IFTAS, but now I'm trying to find the time to take the code and properly open-source it.
I also host a few things as public services for others. That means you! Use them!
- FIRES - Island One - Composeable Moderation for the Fediverse
- Blocklists - A mirror site for blocklists, including an "ad hoc" blocklist I have for my own use, stuff from fediblock or the like. The Tier0 unified list is there, too.
- Posty - The Live Version - Turns a Mastodon or Pixelfed archive (whatever that looks like today) into a static HTML site.
- Pelago - On the Web - Community Moderation, FIRES server, and Island Network manager
- Darkwire - E2E encrypted chat in-browser, ephemeral, and everything gets deleted when the last person leaves the room. (I did not make this)
- Phanpy - Island One - This is currently pointed at a dev version of Phanpy with local-only post support for GoToSocial.
- De-Disinfo - Culture hacking, countering disinfo, cataloging the disappeared
- Lingva - Basically a proxy to Google Translate, but without the tracking.
Note: Only Posty, 'Pelago and De-Disinfo are made by me, I can't take credit for the others.

Just going to reiterate this shit.
"Human shields" means hostages. They are holding hostages.
You're never the good guy when you shoot the hostages.
Somehow the media and political class has transformed this into more of an excuse than a deterrent.
"You blew up a hospital."
"Well, they were using human shields."
That's not a period at the end of the sentence, or it shouldn't be. The immediate reply should be, "So you're saying they are hostages, and you blew up the hostages."

I know one thing that's different about here and other places:
I can say "FUCK TERFS" and it's the Terfs who will be scared to reply.
That's not nothing. That's a by-god distinguishing feature.
Go, go echo chamber.

Fuck, it's just 'madman' this and 'unhinged' and 'off his rocker' and 'psychotic' and we just don't have any words for this, do we, that don't lean all the way into "he's gotta be mentally ill!"
I'll say it again:
Mental illness is what we have dealing with him. Motherfucker has repeatedly traumatized us and the entire fucking world. Abuse is all he knows.
He's an abuser.
That's the word you're looking for.
And he's insecure. Most of his cabinet is. They are all terrified to change shoe sizes, FFS.
He's a insecure abuser and cult leader who has things going very bad for him right now, and he's flailing and lashing out the way any abuser and cult leader will when they see that their strategies are no longer working.
Sure, he has absolutely no self-restraint, no executive functions that tell him when to stop bloviating about bullshit, he has never gone to therapy and has a huge complex about a lot of things (penis size, windmills, etc) which might encourage you to start psychoanalyzing him, to explain what's "wrong" with him. To diagnose him with 'madness' or some kind of 'disease'....
As if an abuser needs or deserves that abandonment of accountability.
You could argue that abusers are fundamentally damaged, that there is something 'wrong' with them. That 'normal people don't act like this' or whatever it is that you say but what you don't realize you're doing at a time like this is throwing every person with mental illness under the bus.
And we have a need, our own obsession, with proposing explanations for why someone does something. And it's a quick trip to 'there must be something wrong with his brain.'
It's the same fucking brain that banned Muslims in his first term, threw out wild accusations of fraud based on nothing other than his feels, separated families as a policy of cruelty, and declared that sticking ultraviolet light up your bum might cure you of the covids.
If you want a single guiding thing, like if you're looking for the reason, the mechanism, the thing that drives Trump, MAGA, and the entire Right, it's not "madness".
It's insecurity.
That's it. It's the fear that 'everyone is laughing at them'. It's the desire to be so 'tough' and 'manly' that no one will ever dream of laughing at you again.
So it's 'department of war' and 'hardcore' videos of video game violence and bro high-fives and 'finally we an say the r-word again' and tradwives, and all the other insecurity-driven fetishes of the Right.
The absolute terror that they are, underneath it all, small and shrinking. And that we can all see it.
And so they overcompensate.
If you want to psychoanalyze, fine, but do it in the context of truly trying to understand, not to apply a dismissive pejorative label and dehumanize everyone with mental illness.

He's not "out of his mind."
He's deeply inside of it. An entire industry exists to ascribe to mental illness what is more readily explained as him just being a shit human being.
He's been "losing it" for a decade.
Maybe he never had it? Maybe you're still chasing the tail of this story, you think?
Maybe the answer was somewhere back at how he treated the Central Park Five, rather than trying to figure out what new malady might explain his being an insufferable fuckwart.

It's up and running, Pelago ingesting blocklists and creating FIRES advisories.
https://archipelago.1sland.social/blocklist/IFTAS%2DDNI
If you scroll down, you can see the entire FIRES snapshot and subscribe to the dataset.
As changes happen over time, you'll see retractions in the feed.
cc: @thisismissem@hachyderm.io
You can also see an example of 'filtering' on this page, if you scroll down. Rather than silence which can mean anything, there's a suggested list of filters to be applied.
https://archipelago.1sland.social/blocklist/IFTAS%2DAUD
Note that the existing labels were surfaced from IFTAS: Shared Vocabulary - Labels, along with the translations (when available).
The filters come from the FIRES project itself.

I like to remind people periodically of one of my favorite days on the fedi:
A new person publicly asked, "Am I allowed to say Fuck TERFs here?"
And not only were they told it was okay, they spawned an avalanche of supportive folks all publicly proclaiming "Fuck TERFs!".
And unlike literally every other social network I could mention, not one person popped up to argue or complain or harass the person in question.
It was pretty awesome.
And so to this day I often say I'm on the "Fuck TERFs" side of the fedi. Like, if you can hear me, you're on the Fuck TERFs side of the fedi.
