I wish us users had the ability to block entire instances. I don't buy the argument that people are "too sensitive," nor do I buy the argument that defederation from instances that platform things like Nazis (exploding-heads, shi.itjust.works) and/or bestiality/pedophilia (burggit) is a bad thing. If we want a platform for all, then there are certain worldviews that are just not compatible with that.
Do we really want another reddit? Reddit sucked. Bad.
When did sh.itjust.works platform Nazis?
They initially allowed the_donald, and they only removed the community after receiving significant backlash from other instances
I think they may also not heavily vet registrations, but perhaps you could correct me if I'm wrong about this
One dude makes a community doesn't mean the instance platforms Nazis. Let's not spread lies now. Just gonna add the discussion link here
They platformed the community, so it is not lying to say they supported Nazis since that is literally what they did
i mean if it was one guy saying 'nazis' literally is lying
which is besides the point, because saying they platformed nazis because the single-user, non-issue community that no one even noticed except for the person that made a post calling attention to it, on an instance that allows anyone to create a community, was deleted after a day is so ridiculously misrepresentative of reality that its practically a lie anyway
What's the big deal? This sort of thing happens frequently. That's why you have moderation and rules.
This should be a safe place where we can all discuss our belief. Hateful disagreement must not be allowed.
I still mandate that people are far too sensitive - stop with the victim mentality or go join an echo chamber like beehaw (or go back to reddit).
I think users being able block instances will help ease the pressure and calls for defed.
You mandate it, do you?
We have no choice but to bend to the views of our mandated lord emperor
"Stop your whining" - Someone who is whining.
lol bunches of folks here can't handle dissent
