@mngrif Happy to help. It's only eight episodes this time, but the story is tight!
@Elfie Worst case scenerio is that you OD and go to another happy place.
@kura Ice cream is a magical food.
@kura I would need help eating that before it turned to soup.
@freemo True, but on the bird site, you don't start off banned. Defederation impacts more than the individual. Neither case is perfect, and admins making decisions on behalf of all their users is just the same parenting problem as before. The whole point of having the local timeline is so people that want to shelter themselves from the global one can do so, and still follow individuals from other instances themselves. Defederation and handing that control over just defeats the purpose. @design_RG @mngrif
@freemo It's a bit disheartening, because I initially thought that decentralization would get us away from the bird site problems, but it seems that some people just want their own bird site instead. @design_RG @mngrif
@freemo @design_RG @mngrif Pressure from their users? Huh.
@design_RG @mngrif The list seems extensive and arbitrary. Users will eventually notice the disadvantages of being there and leave.
I'm actually kind of comforted by this, and there's no reason to leave QOTO for another instance, since they'll probably eventually make the list anyway.
It's just people crotchety about not being able to admin instances that don't belong to them. It's indeed petty, as people have said.
You want me to be free, but all I want is ice cream.
