No problem! I had the same issue and was losing my mind trying to fix it. It still doesn’t update the timestamp like it should automatically so I’ve been doing it myself.

I believe anything prior to that timestamp will not federate. New stuff should.

Try select * from instance where domain = 'popular.instance'; and see the last time it was updated via the updated column. I’ve been having to update that column with update instance set updated = now(); because once that timestamp becomes older than 3 days your instance assumes it’s “dead”.

I follow a rule that I saw written in sharpie at a hipster bar bathroom in Calgary, Alberta: piss in the sink or sink in the piss.

I have an embroidered, velcro-backed patch of this for my range hat.

That’s different than arguing with people on the internet. Daryl Davis shows these people their shared humanity face-to-face. All I’ve ever seen from letting fash “debate” people on the internet is them slowly spreading their ideology to vulnerable people who are viewing the same conversations. Saying stuff that sounds reasonable on the surface like, “not everyone you disagree with is a nazi” even though they want to kill minorities as if that motive vs not wanting that to happen/doing everything in your power to make sure it doesn’t happen is a simple disagreement.

Nazis/extremists don’t respond to rational arguments against their ideology.

I half agree with his gun regulation stance. While ideally there would be more caution given to who owns guns that is unfortunately not the world americans have been living in the last 80 years or so. The fascists have guns, lots of them, and I’m not giving mine up while they have them.

Everything else he said is 100% based.
