Correct, I do. And I will continue to do so as long as their posts are free from content I've distanced myself from

Why? Because I'm doing what helped me settle down and dispel some of my own extremist views. I learned nothing by being cancelled off Twitter over 100 times by neolibs searching for blood. I learned a whole lot from a "post-leftist" willing to give me the time of day and engage in dialogue, even as I was jannying poast. Open federation helped me become a better person

Your fediblocks are worthless as a corrective tool, and all you're doing is sweeping the issue under the rug under the guise of "safety". If you just want to be left alone, then say so. But don't pretend that your stupid lists are "fighting the fash"

RapidBlock: :npc: "Lolicons is not allowed because Mastodong is worldwide, therefore we must comply with all 193 governments!"
Me: :yes: "The vast majority of those governments don't allow LGBT, so that means that LGBT is banned too right?"

>using Linux no longer feels like running a free and open source alternative to proprietary peasant OS’s, it now feels more like running a freeware version of those proprietary peasant OS’s

No. Even using a shitty distro with SystemD is a 1000x better than using Windows because since at least Windows 8, you are required to register for an MSN account just to set up your computer. Windows 11 took it one step further and requires you to provide a mobile phone number. Windows markets itself as a service. It has forced updates, requires an MSN account like I just mentioned, and integrates itself with OneDrive or whatever they are calling their cloud service these days.

I don't know about macOS but I assume it's the same thing, but with iCloud instead of MSN/Outlook/Hotmail.

A century ago, almost half a million people died on average each year from storms, floods, droughts, wildfires and extreme temperatures. Over the next 10 decades, these deaths declined 96%, to 18k. In 2020, they dropped to 14k.

@beardalaxy Don't. The fact that they still require a phone number is enough to avoid it.

>only works on real computers with all good operating systems, and macOS.

Probably does work on Windows/DOS/ReactOS with the right programs installed. Pretty much every *nix utility has been ported to Windows.

Something I like about #Fediverse over twitter: way more people are here for longer, more thoughtful posts; people talk and conversation flows naturally; way fewer peoples' accounts consist solely of RTs

This is why propagandists and the school system like to get kids young. They want kids to grow up to be good little tools of the system until they're ODing in a Discord call again with their crusty friends and jobless because "the world's gonna end in 5 years anyway". Except it doesn't, you're still here, and you wasted 5 years on video games and RPing.

In case you're wondering how the Mastodon side is doing, I got shown some "Mastodon Moderation Puzzles" as a >Google Doc. Oh boy is this comedy gold.
