@awg @sjw @matrix @djsumdog @dirb @feld kind of easy when sjw is named sjw in addition to the domain and just keeps posting hentai
@sjw @xeno @dirb @djsumdog @matrix @feld @awg Sorry if I'm missing something but were you someone else before you had this name? i've been trying to work that out for a while

like your name and instance seems like something kitsune would have done, but I don't think i've seen anyone else on here link that twitter

@DetectiveHyde @feld @matrix @djsumdog @awg @dirb @xeno >I don't think i've seen anyone else on here link that twitter

Not sure why they would since that's my Twitter.

I setup a test server for a few days just to get a feel for how everything worked, what optimisations I could do, etc. before I put this domain in prod.

Then I was @gay@urmum.gq. I only got 1 follow tho.

@sjw @xeno @dirb @awg @djsumdog @matrix @feld Oh okay, so you ARE comparatively new then

You seem to fit in very well in our corner of fedi though <3

@DetectiveHyde @feld @matrix @djsumdog @awg @dirb @xeno Well, I grew up on 4chan back in it's golden age.

4chan taught me how to churn out quality content at high rates. It also taught me how to not be in a perpetual state of butthurt.

I also look for quality domains to shitpost like Feminism.LGBT TrumpIsLoveTrumpIs.Life and FakeNewsWithTheJews.gq

@sjw @xeno @dirb @awg @djsumdog @matrix @feld Honestly, golden age 4chan was the best internet upbringing.

As I said to someone about it when I was recounting those days, "because nothing mattered, EVERYTHING mattered." We actually became adept at creating our own meaning. "Nothing is sacred" quickly gave us our own sacred things.

How strange it was. People who started on social media can never get it.

@DetectiveHyde @feld @matrix @djsumdog @awg @dirb @xeno I feel like this is the reason I just can't relate to younger generations. The internet they grew up on is completely different than the internet I grew up on.

They complain about getting "bullied" online whereas I think I'm doing something wrong if I don't get called a faggot at least every once in a while.

@sjw
I think you are right. They know how to use the internet, but they don't get the internet. You can learn it. I think I have learned it fairly well, even though I grew up on social media. However most people actively avoid learning it.

Not much you can do about willful ignorance.

@sjw
It's hard to break the conditioning since all mainstream places are sanitized and some people still want more. One of the reasons people go to Mastodon isn't because they can have fun, modern and uncensored Twitter. They go to Mastodon, because Twitter doesn't censor enough for their liking.

@matrix @dirb @awg @djsumdog @feld @DetectiveHyde @sjw tbh theres nothing wrong with tailoring what content you see, or what your users see - if youre transparent about it and have reasonable - scratch that, understandable - motivations. for example, if igel decided to defederate knzk out of nowhere, i probably wouldnt stop them.

the problem is Those People tend to do shit like blind banning all .moe instances, or, my all-time 10/10 favorite, that time the admin of jorts.horse found out lain is a 14 year old anime girl so they assumed lets all love lain means lets all fugg lolis and banned lall without even talking to nik and essie about it.

everything would be fine if admins talked to each other; i dont think theres a single "problematic" realm with an asshole admin out there. even FSE, as abrasive as they can be, have @p the absolute cutie who's so kind and cool they make MRFs that exclude them from fse blocks. but on the other hand you get these power tripping assholes and i just wrote three paragraphs and yet im so sorry but im not going anywhere with this! i literally dont know what to do about it :NotLikeThis:

@xeno @feld @dirb @sjw @p @DetectiveHyde @awg @matrix I agree with being open about it; specifically if you have friends on an instance who suddenly can no longer see anything you say, and there's no warning to them from the admin about it. (I'm still sour about @cambrian_era, who didn't even fucking talk to me before banning me from her entire instance. She could have just muted me for herself and let others decide for themselves as well).

@djsumdog @cambrian_era @matrix @awg @DetectiveHyde @p @sjw @dirb @feld that's such a perfect vertical slice. this, dzuk and the jorts horse lall situation is basically all i wish we could get rid of

@xeno @feld @dirb@social.beepboop.ga @sjw @djsumdog@hitchhiker.social @p@freespeechextremist.com @DetectiveHyde @awg@pl.smuglo.li @matrix@gameliberty.club Hey pals, what's going on around here

@xeno @feld @dirb@social.beepboop.ga @sjw @djsumdog@hitchhiker.social @p@freespeechextremist.com @DetectiveHyde @awg@pl.smuglo.li @matrix@gameliberty.club Yeah i figured it was some people being angry about managing to get blocked.

@xeno @feld @dirb@social.beepboop.ga @sjw @djsumdog@hitchhiker.social @p@freespeechextremist.com @DetectiveHyde @awg@pl.smuglo.li @matrix@gameliberty.club lol seriously?

@cambrian_era @DetectiveHyde @sjw @feld @dirb @djsumdog @p @awg @matrix well to be perfectly honest, not really, at least not with you personally, since i don't really know who you blocked aside from @djsumdog or why. but anxiety makes me quite irritable and having to manually copy and paste all the tags of the people you blocked is kind of getting on my nerves already.
@xeno @cambrian_era @DetectiveHyde @sjw @feld @dirb @djsumdog @awg @matrix They're into blocking based on domains over at radical town, because they don't know what "radical" means (See image) and everyone is nazis: https://radical.town/@pisschrist/100997934095662072

@sjw @matrix @awg @djsumdog @dirb @feld @DetectiveHyde @cambrian_era @xeno "You wouldn't care about freedom of speech unless you were a Nazi" is the new "You wouldn't care about privacy unless you were a terrorist".

@p @sjw @matrix @awg @djsumdog @dirb@social.beepboop.ga @feld @DetectiveHyde @cambrian_era @xeno
Would agree if it was about free speech - That people should not be arbitrarily persecuted by the state for shit they say or write. That shit must be well defined and minimal.

But in this case only the wording is bad. If You say:

"People who absurdly scream about freedom of speech when someone call a nazi a nazi are probably a nazi."

or

"People who scream about freedom speech when someone don't federate shit they don't like are probably a nazi or severely confused."

Then it would be just quite correct.

@LaH @xeno @cambrian_era @DetectiveHyde @feld @djsumdog @awg @matrix @sjw

With all due respect, what you have written is a crock.

> That people should not be arbitrarily persecuted by the state for shit they say

State censorship is one form of censorship. It is legally prohibited in some countries, like the US. Prohibiting state censorship is excellent.

"Because it isn't mentioned in the First Amendment, censorship is legal as long as the state doesn't do it" is actually completely false. There's an entire body of law that contradicts this meme. I can explain if you like, but generally you are liable for what you control, a platform with editorial control is (legally and ethically) distinct from one without, and your ISP is a private company but cannot (legally) abridge your speech, and you can protest in Walmart's parking lot.

> People who absurdly scream about freedom of speech when someone call a nazi a nazi are probably a nazi.

It doesn't matter who made an argument. We figured this out long enough ago that we say "ad hominem" in Latin.

I'm sure you know as well as I do that people will call anyone a Nazi nowadays. Does it just take an accusation?

If that's really your argument, then you have failed to understand the devastating effects of McCarthyism, but McCarthyists tend to turn a blind eye to McCarthyism when their team does it.

> People who scream about freedom speech when someone don't federate shit they don't like are probably a nazi or severely confused.

And I think people who are authoritarian/paternalistic without transparency, or anyone who would support someone like that, have significant overlap with Nazis, no matter how little authority they actually have. I'd say that what you wrote sounds like something a Nazi would write. I don't know you, maybe you were drunk when you wrote it and you woke up thinking the same thing I'm thinking.
@p @LaH @xeno @cambrian_era @DetectiveHyde @feld @djsumdog @awg @matrix @sjw hey, i don't know who half the names in this convo are. i'm assuming it's a bunch of communist tranny faggot broken-brain pieces of shit. hey, trannies, here's an idea: nazis are actually the good guys.
