@wjmaggos@eriner@John@Darren@adam you realize most of the reason people do stuff like that is because it gets a reaction right? People make themselves way to easy to troll sometimes. It's easy enough to mute and move on if something really gets under your skin. Maybe the reason I think this way is because my first interactions with the fediverse were as an admin of my own instance[s]. I am of the mind that users have all the controls they need to curate the content of their feeds to their liking. It is on admins and mods to help people find those tools and learn how to use them I suppose, but I would rather have control of what I see personally and I don't understand the idea of NOT having that while also often complaining about x (formerly known as birdsite) at the same time. Also, blocking is done for much more trivial things. Like adam pointed out even just NOT blocking the servers on a list someone else came up with can get you blocked which is kind of beyond censorship really. Fediblock has become an opinion filter and nothing more.
@Darren@wjmaggos@John@eriner@adam tbh I have rarely visited the local timeline on any of the instances I ran or here. I follow people that make my home timeline interesting, and if they stop doing that I drop them :shrug:
I like what @John said about #NASgate on yesterday's show. The second wave of people who joined NAS fucked up the whole thing and a little moderation is all that was needed. Makes me wonder if we couldn't boot up https://noagenda.social with mods and just some clarity that it's run by Dvorak, removing @adam from any responsibility. @eriner should have the domain. without moderation, NAS2 is just gonna be a shit show too. with moderation, it might get to federate widely. https://pca.st/episode/85c095f9-9046-410c-8f68-a6b22cb9a675?t=9405
@adam@wjmaggos@John@eriner I think it's going to be great. NA.S (I think that's what the cool kids say) is now their own place, @Darren has his own place which is cool, and the fediverse as a whole is a little bigger. I was originally of the mind that the whole thing seemed unreasonable but in retrospect it might be even better. I don't agree with the idea that NAS needed censors going around bonking wrongthinkers, but I think the outcome is a net positive for the fediverse.
@C I still have a few sweet potatoes left from fall. I had a few pumpkins start growing (volunteers) but they started a bit late and I think the ducks got to them. Is it called a stacking pumpkin because it's kind of squat?
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
