@realcaseyrollins Just found out after some digging that your mstdn.social account is taken down.

Is feddit.social safe? Since it's run by that same stux guy. I'm trying to find a instance that's pro-freespeech but not too extremist

Follow

@vetharvester 's rules are definitely more lenient than dev.lemmy.ml, the only other instance I know of. Right now I'm only posting links to the site, so I'm guessing I probably won't cross any written (or unwritten) rules on the site. But some people aren't that happy with the software. Not sure why tho.

Probably when the project matures a bit, we can expect to see a instance.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @vetharvester "feminazi", "ladyboy", and "restarded" are blocked?? 😂😂

Shouldn't be too hard to fork tho if somebody wants to fix it.

Funny part is tho they should make that modifiable, for flexibility, and power on the admin side. Like imagine some dunderhead wanting to ban, say, "Make America Great Again"? They can't really do that with the current code.

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester @deadheat @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo jogger is very recent IIRC. It comes from the incident where a jogger was shot. Seems like the person was trespassing but the media ran with that he was just jogging. I don't know what ended up being the truth behind

But yeah, jogger sounds a lot like the n-word, so it started being used as a censor bypass

that's the origin of it. I might be wrong tho' but that's how I've seen it being used recently

Ahmed Arbory, AKA "Armed Robbery", was shown in footage to be scoping out suberban construction sites for things to steal (a regular activity for him, according to locals) before being followed out of the neihgborhood. He then wrestled with a concerned citizen attempting a citizen's arrest. Ahmed grabbed at the man's gun and got the raw end of some self defense. He was later featured in a memorial bump on Adult Swim along with a name I didn't recognize and the famous mass marketed gent who aimed a gun at a pregnant woman's belly and later was killed by an old coworker from a club.

This was all spun as "systemic racism" to get clicks, and now countless are dead. "Jogger" means robber, from how I saw it used, but it could have easily gotten milage in a more derogitory way for all I know.
@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester @PorkCow @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @deadheat wow, it's that old?

And lol, surprised this was even in the autocorrect to begin with! I got smartphones really freaking late but I couldn't even swear without the autocorrect wanting to to correct it to duck

Ducking crap
@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo >racists are probably the only ones who know it then

Progressives also like to give publicity to racist groups and websites that no one ever heard about but the handful of people in them, making them grateful for the spotlight.
@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @realcaseyrollins @vetharvester I tried to write an n-word regex for the movie night server and found that fedizens are more creative than I can regex.

I wasn't excepting cocksucker, twat, bitches, and pussy to make this list

@dielan @aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @realcaseyrollins @vetharvester I wasn't expecting nip either. That's part of common phrases with no negative connotations. It's also difficult to discuss Delaware politics if you can't mention US Senator Chris Coons.

This reminds me of getting in trouble for mentioning my Matsushita CD-ROM in the 90s because it had "shit" in the word.

@chaekyung @vetharvester @realcaseyrollins "mongoloid" is not a slur. It's outdated. It /can/ be offensive depending on context, but the word was never used in a widespread derogatory way. The word was even used in scientific papers (e.g. the study that compared IQ to brain size IIRC).

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @realcaseyrollins @vetharvester That kind of thing should be in a config file or database that the sysadmin can easily add/remove words, not hardcoded.

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester #Feddit is not run by #freeSpeech proponents. When the only co-branded Discovercard was discontinued, stux censored a post asking if any alternates exist: feddit.social/modlog/community

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @vetharvester Yeah I know; I don't trust it as much since Stux kicked me off mstdn.social (which he also runs) for the sins of being called alt-right (without evidence) and not liking 😂 so this doesn't surprise me. I don't post there anymore.

isn't software by any means, but news.inditoot.com is a better instance with far freer rules.

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester well news.inditoot.com is a #CloudFlare site so I have to nix that. dev.lemmy & feddit are censorship nazis, gix.uk is dead, inditoot is CF'd.. what else is there?

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo @vetharvester Nothing yet. I've thought about asking P (from FSE) to set one up, but I know he's super busy setting up instances for people for free (the guy is a champ, he's making one for me too)

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester Personally I'm against banning words because that ignores the context. Better to just restrict speech which incites hatred. That really pisses off the snowflakes though because they're actually big offenders in that regard with their "stale pale male" slogans and so on.

@Korsier @vetharvester The definition of what exactly is hateful changes with the wind. Best to allow as much speech as possible.

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester Incitement to hatred based on race, biological gender (male or female) or sexual orientation (gay or straight) is how I define it. Essentially innate and immutable individual characteristics.

Most everything else is open season as far as I'm concerned. But if you want to criticise capitalism or Christianity or certain politicians, then be prepared for us to hammer your bugbears too - socialism, wokeism, lgbtqiwtf, etc.

@Korsier @vetharvester I still wouldn't give hate speech powers to anyone. Not everyone is as fair and balanced as you are. Most definitions of hate speech are intolerant.

@realcaseyrollins @vetharvester That's the fundamental problem with "hate speech". As a concept it's far too open to the bias of the interpreter. In a democratic society, it's very important to be able to say things which are unpopular.
