I have opened a thread on discourse, mostly for future reference

@zlax
Hi Zlax. Let me jump in at this point. I want this to end in the best ways possible, without any friction.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, your questions were:

* Why do we tolerate that kind of advertisement?

* Why don't we ask/force @sptnkmmnt to unmute you?

Is that it? If there is more could you please add it, in a few words? I promise I will do my best to answer them.

@freemo

@ae
You post the best damn pictures man. I would so like a source link, or/and a little note about that place it is (or what species, more often). It would add a lot to it, IMO!

@zlax
Also, as a mod, doesn't matter if I like him or not, that's not how we deal with fellow human beings here.

@freemo @Surasanji

@zlax
He's published a book and wanted to let the world know, without even a 'buy here' link. If I'd publish a book I would be so proud as to even shout it out in the street to strangers!
That's, by our policies, totally fine as long as it is not his only interaction. I'll skim through his post history later to make sure this isn't the case.

He has little followers and following, if he's just trying to advertise stuff he's doing an horrible job at it.

While we give high value to respecting a disengage request, as I see it he's free to follow, and mute, who he pleases. If you don't ever want to see him again or have him to stop following you just block him.

@freemo @Surasanji

Sorry for my late reply, I'm just catching up on the matter. I'm 100% with @freemo

@sptnkmmnt @Surasanji @zlax

@zlax @freemo

As a mod, as you asked for help figuring it out, I'd say: you do not like the guy? Block him and forget him. As simple as that.

He's free to mute, unmute, follow and unfollow whoever he feels like.

(I hope I'm getting this straight, the whole thing is pretty weird)

@SeventhMagpie Oh, I didn't know that... it's still in early stages, I hope it improves.

@SeventhMagpie they just released app support... give it some time and it will catch all the others fediverse players at least.
Let us know your new address when you're done moving!

@whirli

Nice! I use a similar allwinner a20 board, the cubieboard 2 they do the trick.

Very happy to see @olimex@fosstodon.org is on the fediverse too, didn't know that!

@whirli Nice! What are you using as server?

@SeventhMagpie
I don't know basically nothing about Chopin, but this music is so nice, thanks!

@Erik
This is what mastofeed.com does, the dev is @fenwick67@octodon.social , i use it in my personal website and it works like a charm!

@tuxom@mastodon.at
I mean, basically everyone knew about climate change 40 years ago. We surely improved our understanding of it and the consensus has grown stronger in the past 30 years, but the evidence was not that disputed afaik

@ae
Ahah, yeah of course! I meant if you know the species

@ae uh, who is this guy?

@SeventhMagpie The whole Ma Vlast is such a masterpiece... thanks for bringing it up, I was so happy to hear it again!

@SeventhMagpie You ever feel like you want to practice your Italian feel free to tag me for a conversation!

Looking forward to hear some of your music =)

@Downes
Do you really think there is such a neat line between "part of the problem" and "part of the solution"?
Everyone is part of the problem, actually I don't think there is, a line, it's a matter of grade.

And, I probably didn't manage to mark my point here, I am not saying protesting does not have an impact, I was saying that what I saw was counterproductive, irritating, and badly done. You want to move masses? You don't sing for shooting other people, or make death threats. I simply can't walk along those people. And all the points I touched still stand.

Even here, I won't be sure as you are on considering protesting "the only way", this being a very complex matter on every level, and solutions are not that obvious, IMHO
