@envelopeme This is how I made my way into the real fedi. I'd joined on a low-block mastodong (that's now dead), and was looking around other mastodongs with bird-related names, but most of them were references to twitter. One of them published its blocklist so I went "well that's a list of instances I should join" and ended up here.
@Zerglingman@envelopeme It’s always a little surprising to me. You’d think these people would be itching to “own the nasties”. I mean they are the “good people” and all. :rainbowthink:
“Streisand effect, phenomenon in which an attempt to censor, hide, or otherwise draw attention away from something only serves to attract more attention to it. The name derives from American singer and actress Barbra Streisand’s lawsuit against a photographer in 2003, which drew attention to the photo she was suing to have taken off the Internet”
