Just a short while ago I made a new friend on the fedi (yay!) and we got talking about Dr. Who, so have a bit of this: (see picture)
Some of these episodes I still remember years after I've watched them, while the latest Marvell superhero concoction tastes like a flat chewing gum.
Hat off to the creators of Dr. Who, a truly great show!

Seems there's a figure that the establishment hates even more than Trump: Bernie Sanders.

No more need to argue that Gab is garbage
You all know it
Come with me if you want to post
freespeechextremist.com
Or keep trusting the plan (pic related)
@poetgrant@fosstodon.org I definitely agree with the sentiment of what you stated. I wish you would reconsider as it will further yield the #fediverse to those people. Still I respect your choice. I hope to see you back π

Thanks bro.
I want everyone happy. The problem with that goal is that people on either extreme feel the other doesn't have a right to be happy, and left to themselves.

Free speech is when you can say things other people donβt like.
Thereβs nothing free about the exercise of speech that is approved.

@terryenglish @baguette I really worry for them.
If they think censorship and curtailment of personal freedoms for the "greater good" is a thing to strive for, then they're going to have a rude awakening.
Now I completely understand that there are individuals who abuse these rights for malicious reasons, yet it's important to learn to differentiate.
Can't fight fire with fire, etc.
Freedoms, once gone (or given up) are so hard to get back.

I'm kinda mushing all my replies to your toots into one:
> and that'd require some serious advances in AI
Strongly disagree. As I've said previously, tech that makes choices automatically, or tech that tries to guess what users want, is inherently broken.
I say, while enjoying the music suggestions youtube gives me.
But that's all they are: suggestions.
The choice should always be mine.
Users have to feel (and more importantly, actually be) empowered, not incapacitated by tech.
Shoutout to gogl and their filter bubbles here.
> 'federate ONLY with instances I allow' definitely needs to be an option.
Absolutely agree.
> just because I'm Irish.
Has nothing to do with anything ;) The best way to play with racists is to take the cards out of their hands.
> Oh boy, here's where I piss off the other side and have nobody to talk to :(
Not at all, at least not me. I'm just telling you what I think about your idea.
> the list of "global" blocks for an instance should be public.
That should be an absolute given. At least there should be a choice. If disabled, people can then go and ask the admins as to the reason(s) why. Transparency.
> Dude's goal seems to be "I will never ever see anything I find detestable", and I'm saying "You may have to see it one time, before never seeing it again."
I understand that you feel attacked, because, well, he did attack you.
But don't make this about him. I just read his original post again and wonder who could something like that seriously. Of course this is easy for me to say, I did not get attacked, but don't put too much weight into his words.
>We need to be able to "Takeout" out entire accounts, and import them elsewhere.
Absolutely!
The fediverse is far from being feature complete, if indeed that can ever be achieved. As you point out, there are crucial features missing.

My problem is that the *latest* person to give their opinion on me is always assumed to be correct.
That's one hell of a bug.

That's the other bit: Dude was subtooting talking about how "this guy doesn't know instance blocks exist OMEGALUL"
Dude's goal seems to be "I will never ever see anything I find detestable", and I'm saying "You may have to see it one time, before never seeing it again."
If that's unreasonable, that person's gonna have a super hard time functioning in society.
