@realcaseyrollins I heard that soapbox is pretty good, never used it myself.

I wonder if it is possible to have both the pleroma FE and soapbox at the same time.

@rgx@muensterland.social @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @realcaseyrollins@fedi.absturztau.be 😂

I'm not quite sure what to think of yet tbh, I might try out an instance. I really enjoy BE instances but trying out can't hurt 😜

@seanking Thank you! Your instance appears enticing, it will very likely be the next instance I join!

@rgx@muensterland.social @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world Thanks for the support! I currently have an alt on FAB @realcaseyrollins@fedi.absturztau.be that's dedicated to posting my emotions in blob/blobcat emoji form although I don't update it as much as I aught.

@realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world I just did some research and apparently, Eugen Rochko was (I don't know if he still is) working on a social credit system like what China has.

I will continue to use but I have ZERO respect for him and will not donate or contribute to the Mastodon project.

@shebang @mewmew @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me Yeah! And I'm but have multiple trans friends here (you're one of them lol). Agreeing To Disagree Is Cool™

While yes harassment exists here, there are enough anti-harassment tools here to combat that. Say users started harassing you for being trans, you could just block the instance.

Honestly it's getting quite apparent that the mentality propelling the current (Civil War II) was already in the minds of many; "if you don't agree with me, we can't coexist" predates 2020. It's just that now with the lockdowns everyone's too antsy to keep their opinions to the internet and are acting them out in the streets.

It's teen girl antics, really. Never been a fan of intolerant cliques.

@realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins Its really fucky, the bannings. They are almost always political — “wrongthink”.

Its terrible, and you miss out on a lot of good folks. Look at say @mewmew at myself, we’re politically very different — but we get along just fine. Politics is one thing, someone being a person is another entirely.

This kind of thing is why I explicitly allowed people of all politics on :freespeechhost:

@realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world Okay, I'll end on a positive note:

I've been kicked off of instances without warnings or reasonings before. Even apparently barred from signing up on the only instance I'm aware of, theres.life, and the admin refused to tell my why I haven't been able to get the confirmation code (over a span of over a week).

At least the mstdn.social folks had the balls to email me and give me their excuse for banning me. Props to them for that.

@sev @xianc78 @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world Awesome! I'll keep that in mind, as I have a feeling that after this rant I'll get kicked off of kafuka.me too, as their speech rules are a bit stricter than mstdn.social's IIRC

@realcaseyrollins @xianc78 @realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins Give it a few months, and we’ll have a few different UIs that slot in atop Pleroma, like Soapbox, and instructions on how to do the same with pinafore or halcyon. There’s definitely a diversity of thought, in the fediverse, even if some centers of thought server-block others.

@realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world If you search "twitter without the nazis", articles on Mastodon are the first to show up. It's clear that this is what Eugen Rochko wants the Fediverse to be. While I personally prefer Mastodon over Pleroma (mostly due to the interface). I clearly see why people have a problem with Mastodon due to the dev behind it.

I just hope that Pleroma will bring more free-speech instances and by proxy, more diversity of thought.

@realcaseyrollins@kafuka.me @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world Is software inheritly ideological? No. But show me another instance that won't ban people for making jokes, being Conservative and not supporting a Marxist black supremacist group that wants to destroy families and I'll consider joining it.

Or maybe not, because fact of the matter is is the superior FE and is the superior backend.

I am out of excuses to consider joining anymore instances, sorry.

Oh my fucking fuck. Reddit really fucking despises women with a passion. The sub that has been asking reddit to ban horrific women hating subs has been banned.

r/BanFemaleHateSubs has been banned.

I really didn’t think they’d do this.they’ve sunk so fucking low.
