Someone sent a PUBLIC post on a hashtag I follow, a bot boosts it -I follow bot as well-, and then protests "don't use my mastodon profile for this kind of talk".

Someone sent a PUBLIC post on a hashtag I follow, a bot boosts it -I follow bot as well-, and then protests "don't use my mastodon profile for this kind of talk". But they were the first to bring up the subject publicly! It's like having "we will rock you" playing out your window then complaining if a group of Queen fans passes by, hears the music, stops there and sings along clapping hands. #fediverse was born to be public and democratic, We Will Rock You was created to be sung clapping hands!

@talksina If I may be a bit light hearted for a minute...Can I just say I'm rather amused by the metaphor you chose and wonder if there's a specific reason you chose it?

@nick "we will rock you" has been written on purpose to make people sing and clap their hands in unison. And some topics on the Internet are triggering (good or bad) so if you bring up them publicly, you can't protest if someone replies! Back to music, if you place the speaker out of your window and pump up the volume, it means you WANT people to hear. And you should accept consequences - finding a group singing along is a fortune, usually it happens a scream "I CALL COPS!"

@talksina Ah, OK. I'd wondered if you might have had a funny story from your past that made you use We Will Rock you as your example.

@talksina I understood the point and the thought process behind the metaphor, I just thought it was creative and wondered if anything inspired it.

@nick It's instinct. Some kinds of music just make you sing, or dance, automatically. Back to triggering topics, if they trigger badly I tend to be rude but the fact Fediverse is public, forces me to take more care because unpoliteness generates more unpoliteness then it becomes one, two, three and more rude people getting angry with each other. Better singing along at this point!

@nick I am a blogger so I love creativity, however the only real thing happened here is that a guy triggered me bad, I (politely) replied, he protested and I sent him to Siberia with a one-way ticket ("block" procedure). And I have used a triggering famous song to give the idea. Usually I use pizza smell out of the window, as a metaphor. But a stadium-like song is more noisy and fits better.
