Just to give you an idea of how bad the whole "we block anyone who doesnt block who we block" has gotten, someone sent me this:

I would **love** to give M.A a script that goes over all the instances in the fediverse and alerts them of every instance that doesnt follow the exact same block list as them and spit it out. I'm sure they will realize they have to block 99% of the fediverse... its getting laughable at this point.

@freemo I got nothing to do with this?

@stux@mstdn.social @freemo@qoto.org I think it's about mastodon.social, not your instance
@freemo@qoto.org @stux@mstdn.social mastsn.io, not social 🤔
@Natsu_Kaze @freemo 😮 Can you not see this reply?
@freemo @stux I came over with a bunch of gamedev friends, so I think I'll stay for now because I generally like the community and vibe here, but thanks for running an actual free-speech server. I think letting the user decide is the best way to run things. 👍
I think I'll probably spin my own gamedev/art focused one at some point, too. 💪
@Natsu_Kaze @freemo @stux online freedom of speech is important because of spooks and oligarchs and whatever, but also because there are McDonald’s wagecucks and middle schoolers who want to spin up a discord server and wield their make-believe authority over strangers. On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog… us actual humans need to make it clear that such petty, Reddit-brained, extremely online behavior isn’t acceptable.
@b_chocolatey @freemo @stux I wouldn't put it *exactly* like this, but I agree with your basic idea, yes. 😅
Free speech can be just as easily attacked by a loud, vocal, semi-anonymous minority as it can governments or rich people. I think it's important to go "no, I'm going to say what's in my head, go away if you don't like it" to unreasonable people. 👍
@Natsu_Kaze @freemo @stux I don’t have a SoundCloud… but follow me?
@freemo wait, what?
