@alex I feel like this is a more culture thing than a policy or design thing, right? People are gonna do what they're gonna do. If the (or even) was filled with nice people, there wouldn't be any anger to peddle.

Part of the issue is that the attracts people from both ends of highly polarized scales, and most people interesting in pop culture and fun aren't turned off by or other platforms yet.

But will. So probably the best thing to do in the meantime is make the a better place by building better software (which you're doing rn) and instances. In my opinion.

P.S. It seems that Joanna's qualms come from 's tendency to drive users to controversial and angering content. By design the has already fixed this problem.

I think she is probably right. Internet outrage drives mainstream social media. Twitter seems just as bad, if not worse.

I'd like the Fediverse to be a place of laughter, not anger. How can we design it to encourage that behavior?
@freemo @dsfgs @lnxw37a2 @realcaseyrollins the difference is that BTC's inflation is bounded and monotonically decreasing whereas a central bank has no such limitations.

Why not?

Why? Can't Americans do whatever they want with their own private property?

Protesters in #Seattle have taken over a section of the city (#CHAZ) including a police precinct building abandoned by police. The chief reports emergency calls have more than tripled in the zone, many for violent crimes like rapes & robberies, but police weren't able to respond. twitter.com/KRHogan_NTD/status #News #Protesters

@nik
It depends on the tyranny. Hebrews 10:25 says "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." and there are many Christians who think lockdown laws that kept them from going to church put them at odds with this. Others think doing service online is a good enough substitution.

This is a good passage to remember while thinking about Earthly authority: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"
