not sure. didn’t expect anyone would want to subscribe. i do plan on making more, but it will be awhile. you can always follow me on mastodon @buru5@mstdn.games or follow the blog which i post some of the magazine articles in: oncomputer.games
took about two months. i have a full-time job and two kids as well, so would have taken less time if i didn’t have Grown Up Stuff to do.
that’s what this is – except it’s free! hope you like it.
Censorship is a valid moderation tool, no one necessarily disagrees with that; but censorship without a valid reason is not valid moderation. If you don’t like Meta, then I guess that’ fine; but I don’t necessarily have any problem with it from a “it exists” perspective and sharing space with users from that space may (or may not) add to our communities; we don’t really know at this point, but for some reason we are already advocating FULL censorship of the platform? I don’t see valid reasons from you or anyone else in this ““THREAD”” outside of fearmongering.
And yes, you’re right; de-federation EXISTS in the tool, so does blocking; why not use the latter on an individual – personal – user level, instead of this massive preemptive censorship campaign that is really – just – based on personal politics and almost nothing else? And just because a tool exists doesn’t mean it should be used; you use it when it’s appropriate, not because it simply exists.
*you also vastly overlooked my point aobut biggotry and hate speech regarding censorship; don’t really appreciate being strawman’d but whatever.
thanks for the basic lesson in freedom of speech. had never seen that xkcd comic before so it was extremely enlightening. i feel 100x smarter now.
do you think the creator would be ok with just censoring millions of people for no reason other than they happen to use threads, though, do you think that is what the comic is promoting? or maybe it’s more of a commentary on hate speech and the consequences of bigotry in a society with free speech, ever think of that? just a thought.
anyways, enjoy your mass censorship.
what? all federated servers i use have a block function. again, why are you telling me what to do? and this discussion on “server standards” – if we’re being honest – is really just a discussion about censorship. you’re promoting censorship. congratulations.
extremely weary of any call to arms like this, especially when i am exclaimed to “need” to do something. the block function exists in almost all federated platforms, including the ability to block entire instances; use it and, like META: stop pushing YOUR OWN AGENDA on everyone else.
i am trying to figure out if this had some clever intention behind it related to the ouroboros or if you’re really just an insufferable human being – can you confirm, please?
why's he playing in these conditions?
great insight!
for you, none; why would you sign up for more than one to begin with? this is for anyone who hasn’t signed up for multiple yet-another-indie-writing platforms and is looking for a federated write freely instance to join (considering write.as is closed for registration).
