@dcc @eriner

I guess so. not for "taking calls".

@eriner

not matrix?

@amerika @p

yes

@amerika @p

the open internet. IRL you're for killing commies. banishing so many others. excuse me if I doubt that you'll advise some future monarch to keep these lines of communication open once you've accomplished your larger goals, and some bad ideas are getting through and gaining purchase with the people and threatening stability.

@p @amerika

I wasn't talking to you. maybe someday I will feel it is appropriate because I will have by then read all the millions of words you write and link to. but until then, I am unworthy. please stop.

@amerika @p

re hug box instances, don't you believe in people changing their minds? what if they do and try to reach out? try to get your opinion on diversity and the failures of democracy? quite a loss for society you're risking here.

@amerika @p

what about a server with lots of spammers? I have to police those on liberal.city every once in a while. but I'm a tiny server and don't have your higher standards for free expression. if admins didn't do that, the fedi would be full of them I assume. I'm sure you'd spend just as much time here if you had to block them regularly. and it would only make us more inviting to the world cause people would know we are principled defenders of everybody's right to be scammed by Nigerians.

@amerika

you muted them? would blocking a server full of spammers be ok? doesn't sound very free speech absolutist to me.

@p

@p @amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

I'm still confused.

you don't allow spam. you consider such things as tagging people with "die slur" to be spam so don't allow that either. yet you refused to explain that to me because i didn't ask correctly and was rude even though you know what I meant and it's not explained in the stuff I could find on your site and links you sent. and you go on about how moderation is bad and you're building a system where it will be impossible...

@amerika @p @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

did you read what I wrote? I didn't say anything negative about him or his dog. I pointed out that we know people on his server would say horrible shit if the dead was a minority etc. everybody knows that. and everybody knows that this means it wouldn't be posted in the first place. you get a network where you never have to hear about these minorities (as they are forced out of the country like you hope happens). w/o direct censorship.

@p @amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

did you answer the question? less text please. do you allow spam?

@p @amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

do you allow spam on your server?

@amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

"Humanity needs to get past this illusion that we can all get along. It has done nothing but create conflict."

when you say this and I know your bigger concepts on how we should live, it doesn't line up with a free speech fedi. it does line up with a fedi where the norm is freeform harassment and ultimately the people you don't want to live near you don't use it, and the conversation is all negative towards those groups. your views reign.

@amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

no, most will just not use it. you will pervert/kill this place. same with your concept that forced exile of people unlike yourself from the US and Europe will finally give everybody peace and prosperity. it's ridiculous selfish propaganda.

servers block/mute spammers and illegal content etc, even jerk fedi servers do that. and that doesn't make us a less free speech network. it makes it more welcoming.

@amerika @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI @Bunnyslope @arcanicanis

you are anti community unless it's people like yourself. stop pretending. and as I always say but people refuse to acknowledge, we can deal with the kind of harassment that deters many from speaking up without having hardcore old-school Twitter censorship or the ads/algos that feed celebrity culture. we do this all the time IRL where we make space for speech but not threats or even ads. you don't want that.

@Bunnyslope @amerika @blamellors @nam

I get how NAS might be like usenet, but I am talking about the fedi generally. that's the biggest part of where his comparison doesn't make sense imo. unless there is fediblocking, what one server does can affect others. that's not true on a bbs afaik. even NAS instituted a check process to try to make sure new accounts were listeners. imo people who want almost zero rules on harassment on the fedi (and no server blocks) just want it to stay small or fail.

@amerika @blamellors @Bunnyslope @nam

could you tag people?

@amerika @blamellors @Bunnyslope @nam

so what I'm hearing is that it was/is a very different system that would not allow a worldwide network of anonymous people to easily search out others to tag with die slur in such a way that their only recourse was to individually block/mute them, only for them to use another account and do it again. correct?

cause that's what I have a problem with and think the "no policing" people here want. and it seems comparing the two doesn't shed light on anything.

@nam @blamellors

this is why NAS gets blocked, not genius comments that lefties don't want to see cause they prove their ideology silly. but saying it's the latter makes for a much better complaint re free speech etc.

@nam @blamellors

cause he continues to push the Sandy Hook conspiracy and apparently has no idea how fucked up that is to those families. so I made a joke and maybe he felt some tiny percentage of what those families feel. when people are unrepentant bullies, you don't just let them keep doing that shit. he thinks AJ shouldn't have had to pay anything. you guys think the left should take the abuse. the only reason this shocks you is cause most lefties just run away by blocking the servers.
