@majorlinux GoToSocial added "Interaction Policies" or "reply control" and it's the best thing ever.https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#default-interaction-policies

@majorlinux “A vote for X is a vote for Y,” has always annoyed me, since by definition a vote for X can only ever be a vote for X.

@majorlinux They DON'T?!The fuck am I gonna do with 20GB symmetrical then?

@majorlinux love when the supposedly less racist faction is literally saying "brown people arent human and their deaths don't matter to me" lmao

@majorlinux That asshole has like 9 different accounts spread out all over the place, and I've blocked every one of them.

@maegul @majorlinux It’s why I fight tooth and nail against the narrative that “Mastodon is the nicest social network” It’s nice for while people of nearly all backgrounds and if you assimilate and capitulate. I’m sorry you had to deal with the nonsense. It’s chased so many Black and Brown folks out of these spaces. It’s what pisses me off when I see people criticising users still on #X #Twitter In reality where are people going to go? Cause it sure as hell ain’t the #Fediverse I challenge anyone to research #BlackTwitter and you’d immediately see how at odds it is with how a great deal of people want #fedi and #Mastodon to operate. This space is the last space I want to be involved in some of the greatest social movements of our time, most of them would’ve been DOA

Blocking works that way except when it doesn't. On blahaj.zone I can still see the whole thread. It could be because blahaj uses Sharkey (which has very sucky muting and blocking) or maybe there's something else going on. ‍️@[email protected] @[email protected]

@majorlinux To be clear, I was able to upgrade Mastodon later, but not with Ubuntu 24
