I know, I know, "this will just put the project into the hands of someone who WILL do it"

Maybe I'm a rebel, but instead of thinking of ways to slowly fuck with a tech company that's asking you to make something evil, as part of your job

Maybe just quit and find a job where you won't be asked to do evil things

The fediverse cannot be banned, the fediverse cannot be shutdown.

The fedi also doesn't have an algorithm that's gathering information on every single thing you do and say, but that's besides the point

@puppygirlhornypost2 yeah, and i can speak to that from personal experience, back when i was newly out as a trans woman, and a certain ... person in the trans community latched onto me, used me, manipulated me, and it ruined a lot of community I could have had before things started going sharply down-hill

if I had someone looking out for me then, maybe I wouldn't have understood it, but I would have, at some point, and I think the same is true for people in these communities. they'll know, eventually

@puppygirlhornypost2 you did do the right thing, i saw all the evidence that was presented, and i saw how she acted when faced with it. it's a shame that people are still on that instance, but protecting the people you're responsible for definitely should come first, even if they don't understand it right now

@puppygirlhornypost2 yeah, sometimes hard decisions have to be made, and it's a shame that that's something that could potentially tear friendships or relationships apart

@puppygirlhornypost2 reminds me of someone i followed for years and then thinking she went missing, only to find out she blocked my instance

You're gonna see a lot of people in the next couple of days spreading misinformation, that Musk is alleged to be looking at buying Tiktok

would absolutely not be surprised that misskey.io went nuclear and disallowed federation from Mastodon instances

probably getting tired of the reports on CSA content coming out of their instance

For Instagrammers jumping to #pixelfed did you know you can take the atom feed from your profile and slap it onto your website to display your most recent posts?

Wild we're into the new year and I think it's been almost 3 weeks since Tumblr erased my account without any notice (I mean I know why they did)

Their team doesn't even respond to email I guess?

I'm considering re-blocking Threads from federation over here, since they've pretty much cemented that it's just going to be Twitter 3: Zuck's In-charge

But, to the people who play fedi-police, do you hold the same standard to large Mastodon instances that largely have normal people on them, with a mixture of trolls and bad actors running about?

@KimCrayton1 I looked at your instance and it appears to have a very bare bones moderation policy and no suspension list to speak of (unless it’s private). I don’t know if this is the main reason these things are happening but it’s probably part of it (there are quite a few nazi instances that are routinely evading blocks and it requires active administration to keep under control)

@KimCrayton1 I’m curious what kind of moderation policies dair-community.social has, because this shouldn’t be happening. Any good instance should have the racist/bigoted instances blocked and suspended
