Also known as fascism. The fasces was a strong weapon compared to it's weak constituant twigs. Ironically this is also where the word faggot seems to come from.
@Hyolobrika@Darren@John@adam@eriner@wjmaggos I also get the impression that most of the instances quick to block whole servers are running mastodon not pleroma or soapbox which are considered racist or bigot software or something.
@Hyolobrika@wjmaggos@John@eriner@Darren@adam I don't use it often enough to say one way or another I guess, but when I've used it things quieted down, or at least so it seemed.
@wjmaggos@eriner@John@Darren@adam I hope people don't think blocking actually prevents people from popping around it easily enough to see what they are saying. That'd be silly. Expecting to live in a world where nothing offensive ever occurs is also kind of silly. I don't know I think people take socials way too seriously sometimes.
> unable to consider the experience of others
I'm saying that their experience is personally customizable to their tastes. I don't know how that's not considering their experience.
> servers full of harassers
There is no reason for spinster to be as hated as they are. For a while (perhas still) they were one of the most blocked instances around. You can't even use certain software to log in to spinster because they are so bad apparently.
Also bear in mind I am saying I think the move is ultimately a net win for everyone (including the show). I also never saw the NAS public timeline because I'm not an NAS user. Like I mentioned further up I follow people that make my timeline interesting and don't follow people who annoy me. I don't accept every opinion of every person I follow (Amerika would send me to africa) but when you don't react like a fool to silly trolls you can have interesting conversations with people you disagree with.
I am a guy that does things. I used to run charlestown (dot) social along with a handful of other fedi sites (I've run peertube, pixelfed, mastodon, pleroma, and a few others) but I couldn't really get local adoption to pick up and the server costs were starting to run away so I downsized and Moon invited me over here while I regroup.> You are a manipulative liar and I have seen enough from you to have figured this out at this point. - Jeff Cliff
