Downfall to the fediverse: You know what your friends see when they look into this stuff? Oh, wow, they use that site that has the pedos on it.

It’s a serious issue. Most people don’t and won’t understand the decentralized thing. When these come to light in the media, and stuff like this ALWAYS comes to light in the media, someone is gonna say at some point “Hey didn’t pigeon suggest that site to me once?”

As a mod of a few big subs, that doesn’t really work either. Lots of us ban those on sight because of those stupid t-shirt bots.

And that is nothing compared to corporate emissions and air travel, but the internet LOVES telling you that how you live your life is wrong for moral reasons or due to some panic.

I say this as a chef that’s generally vegan friendly. We gotta stop blaming each other when we’re a drop in the bucket compared to big business. They got you attacking other people so they can do what they want with impunity.

Oh we’re doing the anti-bike thing? Fun! Riding a bike to work for me would take 3 hours. Not everyone fits in the same mold.

Just deleting the account keeps the comments there, though.

You gotta use one of those wipers to fully nuke your tracks. Otherwise you show as [Deleted] and the posts remain.

Oh, it blocks the genzedong reddit crowd (who are worse here because there are no admins to tell them to stop openly advocating genocide) and the alt-right skinhead types. They tend to come from a few specific instances. What’s left is a blend of progressives and socialists and anarchists and moderates that can generally talk about things without treating you like you should be put to the firing squad for not loving Stalin or Hitler.

You’ll come across it at some point and know immediately what I’m talking about.

Rock and stone!

General, another settlement needs help.

Yeah. In the end I think it’ll be beneficial, honestly, to put more control in the hands of the user. If you notice all of the problem people are coming from on place, blocking them all feels so counter-intuitive when you can just block the source. And every argument I hear against it is the same tired “free speech means you have to listen to me and give me a platform” thing you hear from just about everyone who has an opinion most people really don’t wanna listen to.

And they take over every new social media site until people find a way to filter them out. That’s why they fight so hard against said filters.

How much does this dude have to do before everyone sues the pants off of him? We should be past that stage months ago.

Respectfully dude, it’s not everyone else’s job to police content for you. Paywalls are everywhere, it’s the internet.

I didn’t until I found Beehaw. I’m enjoying it now.

I wish you could block servers personally, though. Like some of the stuff that’s blocked here makes this place a lot better to be around. There’s less hate and reactionary fear mongering. Everything is more chill.

You know what tickles me the most about this? It’s very possible that we might FINALLY get the game Peter Molyneux promised us way back in the day.
