I disagree with Purism's hands-off moderation approach and I have urged them to re-consider their stance.
@Gargron they should stand strong. Censorship is no good. As I mentioned in another post. They should be allowed a voice, just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean it should go away. While I may not agree with that content, I am intrigued when I read it as I am astonished on how a segment of the population can not advance. Gotta have love for all sides. This is how we grow.
@a @Gargron you have a choice. Block or mute. When did you decide what was acceptable? Who said I can? We can all be responsible for the content we want to consume. The big eraser unfortunately is not the answer and should not be a universal one. But I respect your opinion and thank you for the interaction. This is what it's all about. 👍
@a @Gargron if there is a group/instance that want to censor so be it. The point missed here is, who should decide what is better for the whole? Most instances let's be honest contain a collective of like minded folks. So go for it if instance XYZ feels the need. Those that disagree will find a new instance. But that doesn't mean instance X should be damned and the operators stoned. Because they choose to go unmoderated. The essence of a truly free communication.
@mpg @Gargron Moderation is not censorship. You keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means.
There is no “deciding what is better for the whole” here. The operator of the largest instance is giving advice to another instance. It seems odd to me that folks can get so worked up about that.
@a @Gargron beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I appreciate the feedback and the discussion. At this point it's redundant, I will go in a circle. As I stated in another post. Let's move on and focus on the real problem like the Gov't who as we type are futher plotting the removal of out fundamental right to privacy. Have a great one brother. 👍
@mpg @Gargron You’re missing the point. Yes, individual users can decide they don’t want to see. But platform operators can *also* decide what they don’t want to host.
