@wjmaggos @p @PakkonenCT @amerika @Moon

@wjmaggos @realcaseyrollins @p @Moon that's not a public space. Different context, but nice try.

@realcaseyrollins @p @Moon finally, a justification for centralized censorship, @wjmaggos !

@wjmaggos @PakkonenCT @p @Moon @amerika additionally, my opinion of the state of fedi does not, to me, justify actions to police the actions of others beyond the already complete suite of content management tools available to me.

@wjmaggos @PakkonenCT @p @Moon @amerika you're putting words in my mouth. I literally said: if you want pristine threads, defederate.

@wjmaggos @PakkonenCT @p @Moon @amerika the tools you want are literally there, right now, but they're just for you. What pisses you off is you don't get to manage the switches for other people, which is what this is about.

@wjmaggos @PakkonenCT @p @Moon @amerika ok, if some people are primarily here to be assholes, then they're assholes. Under our present architecture, they have as much right to be here as liberals, since we're speaking in categorical terms.

To this, you want to add probability, so now we're policing categories by likelihoods, and you bear the conceit that you're fit to judge who deserves to participate and who is "an asshole."

Scratch the surface of a liberal, and you find an authoritarian.

@wjmaggos @p @Moon @amerika that's a fine idea, and can easily be implemented by the mute block features. You can start right now!

@wjmaggos @p @Moon the MSC is someone's definition of a middle ground. The middle ground are your block and mute controls.

Arbitrary notions of any given person's "comfort" is not relevant in this context: they have the same two comfort adjustment buttons mentioned above, so that's out of the equation.

If someone can't post nigger, they can't post the lyrics to a non-trivial fraction of pop music lyrics, so this isn't about nigger, it's about censoring perspectives you don't like, simple as.

@wjmaggos @p @Moon so this quickly becomes a fundamental philosophical question:

Do we, or do we not want governance?

Fedi has governance is built in at the user and administrative levels. What you are pushing at is something beyond this and your justification is, "but if we don't, people will be people."

If pristine threads are important, defederate your server, but it's fairly authoritarian to suggest that the rest of the world needs to toe your line.

@p @Moon have you guys considered an alternate Fediverse Server Covenant (vs. MSC) ? Like, same thing, but not retarded, frozen peachy, etc? If nothing else, offering a well-known counterpoint and critical position...

@Moon @p you could easy rephrase that is:

"we support a diversity of opinion such that a simple covenant or code of conduct is a disservice, therefore we recommend you use the sensitivity flag."

Some sort of statement that defines a counterargument, if not a mirror of its form.

@Moon @p can you elucidate it a bit and differentiate it from or relate it to a pile-on, two minutes hate, factional fighting, doxing, etc?

@Moon @p now we might have a line item for a covenant. "I will neither use nor contribute to blocklists", ditto doxing.

@Moon @p maybe don't need more than 2 and a general statement.

@coolboymew my dad had #5. It's where I learned that chess playing computers basically suck.

@jeff I kinda wonder what ritalin peterson would be all about.

@binkle @jeff so heroin peterson would be kinda like oscar the grouch?

@jeff are we crowdfunding a psychological intervention for JP?

So interesting webdev whatnot crossed my path today.

First, a resurrection of hypertalk, browserized:
https://hyperscript.org/

on pointerdown
repeat until event pointerup
set rand to Math.random() * 255
transition
*background-color
to `hsl($rand 100% 90%)`
over 250ms
end

Secondly, HTMX
