LOL....

I think the end result might be better than spoiled and entitled kids and grown ups, from too open and unrestrictive parent.

As a teacher, we had to deal with this daily. And mom's calls to the office if we said something they considered nasty or demeaning, etc.

Glad to be off the trade, it's becoming harder and harder - even at the university level.

Good tools for any trade are worth paying for. And once you get used to them, it's hard to give up and keep productivity.

So, if it is good I think perfectly natural to stay with it.

God thank you for Bing.

No idea what a flying or not chappal was until now! 😏

@freemo
Yes, being in a moderation position, its more difficult since you need to see the traffic, like it or not, to respond to it if necessary.

There are stories on the net about how people working in content moderation for Facebook (under subcontracting, low pay, many hours and quotas to meet) have had their mental health affected by constant exposure to some of the worst content, which they were obliged to recognize and deal with.

Your position is admirably open minded and fair, imo. Responding to another network node's refusal to act is perfectly natural.

No damage resulted, as I am still able to follow a post to its source there if I wish; I did follow a thread and visited a spinster profile yesterday in fact.

Contrary to some wil largue, this is not censorship. Some people use the 'free speech' and 'fist ammendment' lines as catch all, justify anything lifesavers.

Many others disagree, and we all have opinions and thanfully live in various jurisdictions with different philosophies and legal structures.

I find Europe the most sane and civilized place to live at this moment in time. Wish I was there, when I return to North America from a trip there, it's always hard to cope. 😔

You are welcome for the mention I placed above, I see you took it in stride and produced a large and thoughtful response to it - wonderful.

WE need to think about the issues, and how one can react and continue on with their own activities. Plus there is the mosre difficult wider discussion, which can turn noisy, and worse, nasty, unfortunately.

I enjoyed that you mentioned the tribes; it's one of my beliefs that true humane forms of governing a community went downhill from that, the tribe level.

Ideally, government wouldn't be necessary - but that seems not to work above the tribal level, if it ever does.

I will have to reflect on the points you made and return to them. Glad we have nice discussions like this.

The technology that enable the internet was made to be distributed, by design - to survive a nuclear war, as the protocols and routing were created on projects funded by DARPA, way back in the 70's and early 80s.

Soem great people worked on this, and the suite of protocols, TCP and IP are still robust, alive and well, with the deluge of traffic we have today.

Technology can be used for Good or Bad, it's inherently neutral in my opinion. However, the development of any programme can be funded and directed by political or economic interests - and that largely molds what they result in.

My opinion is that a lot of Net content has gone downhill since the mid to late 1990s.

@11112011 Muito obrigado, Blitz! Muit gentileza sua. Vou visitar e ler o artigo, tenho varias bookmarks no site do ministerio de relações exteriores tambem, excelentes paginas com muito detalhe, bem explicado.

Uma boa tarde, amigo. 🌆

@freemo
Wonderful.

I thank the stars who guided me here, a brand new user in fediverse very recently, and finding my home at a place with this very essential control -- I had noted it and used it to block an instance I object to already, days ago. Made a public post and explained it to other users too, because I think it's a great tool to keep things sane.

Kudos, Dr Freemo. This is first class work. 🥂

Part of the problem, a big one, is the parent's themselves being frayed and distracted by incessant media and notifications, imo.

It is a real concern indeed. WE have too much information, and struggle to cope. A lot of it is worthless, some might say planted for distracting people from more serious issues.

Sometimes it seems that things would improve if we lost some of the current deluge, massive communications overload.

Great article on this from The Atlantic!!

@freemo @mngrif @iamo Just found it, was a long way down the notifications thread. Busy day and night yesterday! 😺

@freemo @mngrif @iamo 😺 I am infering gender by the flag listing about sex. I found all of them quite amusing and cool, the 'flag' one particularly. 😉

@Rovine @mngrif @freemo @raining_night

OMG, gld to see that I am not the only one to care for this issue. 😺

And thannks for confirming my impressions so far, mngrif - the only clients I have found supporting longer posts are this Web interface (built in, mastodon instance hosted); and the Fedilab Lite client I tested and reviewed last night.

RN -- see my thread about Fedilab, including the option of FREE downloads. And the Lite version, which is NOT on Google Play at all.

https://qoto.org/web/statuses/103150710482564170

I was able to post ~700 chars long post from it, during testing. The settings panel allows a post up to 3,000 chars max.

I am planning to somehow ask the developers of Pinafore (which is FAST and pretty, nice) to maybe include an option on it's settings, allowing user to input a Higher post limit, in characters/Bytes.

I had a conversation with someone and she mentioned some software on the instance server, which might allow larger posts in the clients --- glitchsoc if I am not mistaken.

Do we use it here? Is it configured to allow larger client posts? Is this possible?

Fedilab Lite seemed nice, but I can't post from a mobile and do the volume and length I am used to; it's just too inneficient. Ocasionally, ok, but my laptop or desktops can run circles around mobiles.

@freemo @mngrif @iamo Good morning friends, I am back in action, first cup of coffee on hand.

I am glad iamo has changed her mind, we had some discussions over her concerns last night, I responded to some of the posts via DM. (pronoum choice guided by iammo's profile content)

I did she a crude, obnoxious person respond on a thread where we discussed the democratic candidates and 2020 election. This 'person' irked me to the point of muting, so I don't know it that continued. I can post a link if needed.

There seemed to be a quite personal attack coming from that guy (only a man could be so nasty, me thinks. Piles shame on my own gender). From the gist of it, I would say this guy had interactions with iamo in the past, and two accounts at least he posted from, posted a screenshot with two profile pics and names.

I am glad too that iamo has decided to trust the administration here to handle things without heavy hand, but still compassion and sensitivity.

Good morning, afternoon for those in Europe.

Who sees What, Where does my post Show?

A good guide is on the Privacy page: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/usage/privacy/

The page also has good explanations on muting or blocking users if needed.

Good read!

@amangupta Oh, you are very welcome.

You might find background information in the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, one of the largest in the country. They do have many articles in English as well as the native Portuguese.Here:
