GNU social (formerly statusnet) is a failed twitter clone, currently used only by bronies, linux enthusiasts, channers, people with crippling depression and communists. The real lure of GS is the fact that it's "decenteralized", which means that it's made up of many websites connecting and sharing with each other. This has caused many lulzy rivalries between servers such as, Freezepeach VS Mastodon, Sealion.club VS Mastodon, Highland Arrow VS Mastodon, fucking everybody VS Mastodon. (Mastodon isn't terribly popular). GS experienced it's biggest influx during the events of #RIPtwitter around February, 2016. The amount of people who arrived during the February rush nearly caused an eternal-september style event but they all returned to twitter in less than a day, thus preserving the shitshow within.
The GNU social server
GS made up of ancient archaic dark magic being held together by ductape and broken dreams. Although the original is in decent condition,
Freezepeach currently holds the record for being the most blocked instance in GS Which is actually quite the feat. FZP is home to many notable users such as Kaiser, Se7en, Vloev and Coolboymew. Kaiser, despite showing up to the party last thursday, has somehow accumulated over 9000 posts, likely due to his raging autism. Se7en frequently shares tech and Trump articles and is apparently not huge fan of furries
—You know, the loli server, https://gs.smuglo.li/notice/1234595 | ||
Smug loli is the by far the most anime-crazed server, and that is REALLY saying something. It is also illegal in Canada which sokyaf found out the hard way. Some of the more notable users are Nepfag, Hector, Dolus, karo and chen. Hector, despite being on the loli server rarely talks about loli, anime or anything like that in favor of dank memes and linux which is a trend that actually seems to run throughout the server's community. He also was a part of the brief attempt at a chan for the gnu-socialites which adventually shut down, abandoning all 15 posts on the site. Nepfag is the admin of the site and also happens to be one of the few people who discusses things other than linux on the site which makes him pretty unique straight off the bat.
Shitposter.club
Shitposter.club (AKA, slowposter club) is one of the most popular instances on the federation, it is also known for it's accidental uses of time-travel frequently traveling half an hour back in time. Any posts will also wait an hour before arriving on any other servers as to prevent time anomalies from forming. It is also known for being the only server not completely shitcanned by mastodon, of course Gargron approves each user before his posts can enter his site but still, for a site with a decently high capitalist population, that's impressive. The site is run by Moonman who is in competition with Fl0wn and Nepfag for coolest admin. The server is hosted in NYC so the NSA doesn't have to have 24/7 operatives to monitor GS.
Sealion Club
It's basically freezepeach but with more people.
The bots
There is a large amount of bots created to hide the fact that nobody actually uses GS, so many were created in fact that a tally may be neccessary to show you the magnitude of the problem.
- One BBC bot
- Two Zerohedge bots
- Two RT bots
- God knows how many markov chain bots
- Seven known image bots
- Wikipedia bot
- Urban dictionary bot
- Image repost bot
- (Briefly) A Terry Davis bot
- One quote bot
- A lewd quote bot
- A youtube comment simulator
- A Yuri bot
- Jeff
- RMS
- Delores
There are even more bots than this out there, either not listed or undiscovered.
Alternative channels of communication
GS users can frequently be found communicating with each other over email, IRC and other services. You may be asking yourself ``But why don't they just use GNU Social?, well, they claim that they use other methods when GS won't do for a fast conversation but in reality, they have come to the slow realization that GS is complete shit and are silently trying to escape before Mastodon comes in and makes it an even bigger pile of shit.
