@RL_Dane I like doing things like that. Unix was designed flexible and versatile for a reason! Instead of a new convenient utility, oftentimes the solution is already available.

Wowza -- I just got a security update for `passwd`!
CVE-2013-4235: cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.
I'm always surprised when an old internal tool is updated, one tends to think it is as stable as stone.

Blocking servers risks creating echo chambers.

Never blocking or silencing servers risks bad things as well, I do realize. I'm just saying we need to be careful. I fear for the future of the Fediverse.

I'm visiting home for Thanksgiving. We have Smash 4, the version I would play before I was introduced to Smash Ultimate in college.
Oh my, going back to it, it feels *so* floaty and slow-motion! I couldn't believe I used to play Smash at Smash 4 speeds.

Maybe the block of qoto.org is warrented, I'm just worried. Everybody disagrees on everything it seems 🫥

@FediThing This doesn't mean that you should block them, necessarily; you block a server if you need to not see what any of its users are posting (including replies!). Just because they don't moderate against *other* servers correctly doesn't mean that their users' posts need to be silenced! Even when they moderate incorrectly internally, we, across the Fediverse, disagree on how to moderate so if we are going to take this policy this strictly, we will fragment the good as well as the bad.

@FediThing Qoto.org silences four servers currently. qoto.org/about/more
These aren't blocks, but this is worth noting...

@RL_Dane @Big_Diggity No you don't sound like a snowflake to me. Toxic is bad! It is one of the reasons I moved from birdsite, too.
