@JuliusGoat I just want to say that after years of reading crappy takes it feels almost cathartic to read the word "Nazis" referring to actual literal Nazis.

Good point too, but man I'd never guess that a mention of Nazis would ever have a positive effect on me lol

Question I've never considered before: where the fuck do babies get gut flora from? It's not like there's any digestive system connection at any point and we're not koalas for our babies to literally eat shit.
Answer gained from some cursory searching that may be more or less accurate: they might be intentionally transported from the mother's gut to mammary glands by immune cells via the lymphatic system.
huh.

@dascandy42 @foone pattern matching at home:

So I've made a negative of a friend's profile picture for a meme and TIL that the Ukraine flag in negative basically just turns upside-down.

@andcam @feditips I'm not trying to interact with them, I'm opposing a public tip that's terrible for the others to see. Trying to block all critique to create an illusion of lack of opposition is one of those very dangerous practices their approach to moderation advocates and we as the community have just as much of the right to publically oppose it as they have to publically post it. I'm sure you'd agree if the situation was reversed and it was a freezepeach tip to stop all moderation opposed by someone advocating for a more reasonable approach; there's a difference between personal accounts/posts and public service accounts/posts such as here.

As for moderation I don't think we disagree, we're just approaching it from different sides. Servers have complete freedom of the way they do moderation and they shouldn't be pressured either way by profiles claiming to speak on behalf of the Fediverse as a whole. What "**really** needs" moderation is subjective.

@cichy1173 damn they got me good xD

@andcam @feditips exactly, which is why advocating for even more moderation across the entire Fediverse goes against its ideals.

@sammy how on Earth is that racist? Do you consider the French a race? I fully expected the kind of people I described to go through my profile looking for anything they can over-interpret to declare me a racist/bigot in an attempt to disqualify my opinion and you still managed to surprise me.

@feditips the most common example of radicalisation on fedi I've seen is caused directly by over-moderation creating echo chambers where people who think they're always 100% right saviours of the oppressed and humanity overall lash out with aggression, racism and sexism upon encountering anything that doesn't confirm their worldview, or even just casually because nobody's gonna contest them.

It's **really** important for the Fediverse admins to block only the material that **really** needs to be blocked and not just anything they don't like or agree with.

@caekislove have you ever seen the inside of a government agency? Doing nothing and still getting paid taxpayer money is their target operating model.

@jaz users are humans using something, be it software, network or whatever. There's nothing dehumanising or alienating about it, please stop trying to redefine and shun words just because you don't like one of the ways they are used. That's like saying "travelers" is dehumanising because it's also used by crappy travel corpos.
