Oh god don't tell me about gemini I don't need another project to rabbit-hole into.

@freemo @realcaseyrollins Wouldn't presume to tell you how to moderate things. If you think you've struck a good balance, then that's great!

I just wanted to give you an impression on the ground, as a new user joining the instance. When I see a federated timeline filled with disinformation and lolicon, my first thought isn't, "wow, this instance must have a minimal moderation policy", it's "wow, no one is looking at what the timeline is showing our users, and new users are getting shown lolicon and disinformation."

I'm just happy to have reasonable discussions Online!

@freemo @realcaseyrollins

But that's what moderation is. Are you suggesting this instance is unmoderated?

Abomination on the back... "Acceptable" on the front.

> I see no reason we should be dictating who our users want to follow or interact with though from other servers

But we just discovered a reason here, right? Plenty of people didn't even know how to mute domains until this thread. So there's a technical onus to having people decide on their own which domains to mute.

By activate moderation of fediverse connections, you're relieving the onus on users to deal with objectional content on their own, each time they see it.

Okay, clearly I need to find a way to schedule these posts.

Academic instance largely populated by people with a display name from antiquity and some profile image of a bust of Socrates or whatever, this shocks me.

Adulthood is being able to buy a brand new MacBook as an early Christmas gift, but not having the time to even set it up. Gave it a name, at least. Yggdrasil.

They fixed everything about the keyboard, so that's something.

"Diving" back into Subnautica! Ha ha ha!

Can't wait to get fucking torn into pieces by some kind of weird fish alien.

Walking around a friend's apartment helping them process everything.

Point to a dresser whose surface is packed to the brim with *stuff*.

I ask if they're comfortable with everything here, if it all looks good, she just kind of nods explaining that it all belongs there.

I point to about four rolled posters, pinned between the dresser and the wall. "Are you sure? It looks like you may want to hang these up."

She looks at them. "Oh. Yeah."

"It's amazing how quickly the things you want to do just become part of the scenery."

Christ almighty is there a ton of porn and lunacy on this instance's federated timeline. This may have been a mistake.
