I'm enjoying this interview of @alex by @realcaseyrollins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaHu3dvluJI

It demonstrates why I think Alex is going in the right direction for helping to make the Fediverse thrive.

An example: "The best operation of the Fediverse is to moderate your own users and not block specific instances". Related is judicious deployment of a simple feature of "Mute this conversation", rather than unfollowing users or instances.

I think that the successful evolution of civilization is dependent on having a dynamic competition of ideas, with citizens having the opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of ideas, and taking personal responsibility for managing their belief systems.

On the subject of cancel culture, I think that cancel culture can fade into obscurity when the condition of being offended becomes non-effectual and the skin of citizens thickens such that they no longer over-react to ideas that are not currently in their belief systems.

On the subject of radicalization, I think that radicalization is self-moderating in the Fediverse.
@Husky @realcaseyrollins I would be excessively interested in that. I do not know how to compile an Android app at all from source :(
@realcaseyrollins @farhan there is very basic rebranding support but you need to rebuild app from the source for that.

I don't plan changing the way how it works but extending it -- yes.

Remember when Alex Jones got into a one-sided argument with Amazon Alexa

@farhan @Husky Yes; by adding settings. The XML would just be in the app's settings files and get saved with the changes.

If an instance wants to brand their version of , they could either share their customized version of the XML, or share their copy of the APK that has the customized XML bundled with it.

@farhan That's interesting. I do know that the styles are different, but you can change the emoji styles in the settings
