@cambridgeport90 yea shouldnt be too hard. Sadly current cross-posters are a bit primitive.
@cambridgeport90 I dont think for a second it was your intent.
You are welcome to cross post from twitter. Its just the swarmapp that felt a bit spammy.
No worries I know your well intentioned.
@cambridgeport90 Either that or you could set your posts to unlisted by default and just explicitly list your other posts?
But yea right now it mostly looks like advertisement spam in the timeline. Even if we didnt moderate that directly it would get you or even the server blocked most likely.
@foks And gained 3 more from this conversations alone. Amazing how being mature and respectful in your discourse as the standard rather than acting like a child having a temper tantrum can get you followers who actually engage you. Who would have thought.
Also im not white im Native American.
I love all cultures, white culture, dutch culture, french culture, vietnamese culture, indian culture, any culture you can imagine. I find them all so rich with lessons to learn from, delicious food to try, unique ways of looking at the world and morality.
It is why there is nothing that will send me running from a person faster than to hear them be hateful towards any culture. Those people have issues and while I hope one day they grow past them I dont need that shit in my life.
@cambridgeport90 Can you please switch your swarm-app posts to unlisted. They dont provide actual content, act as advertisements, and dont really need to be int he federated or local timeline.
Thanks.

Sadly I understand. I periodically do find the sort of people you reference in the EU. Thankfully the Netherlands is one of the better countries in the EU in that regard, perhaps due to the practical nature of the Dutch.
But it does scare me to see the country I love to be infected by this sort of behavior, to any extent.
@irstm
I currently have a house in the Netherlands. I spend half my year in the EU traveling around (calling Netherlands home) and half in america.
While I can agree it certainly has gotten worse in the EU than it has in past years. As I said it doesnt even come close to approaching the levels we see in america. I can say this as a person who spends significant time in both cultures so has a real gauge to measure it by.
@irstm
While I do agree that it happens everywhere, the issue is 1000x worse in the america than anywhere else I've been.
I've visited many countries in my time and not one of them seems to even approach the levels of insanity we find in america.
@Christian
@Ferretsyndicate@radical.town normally I'd be more than happy to discuss that point, it would be a worthwhile point to discuss for sure.
But since you opened with clear immaturity I am more likely to think that it would just be a conversation involving me listening to you throw a temper tantrum on any point I might make that you would disagree with, rather than a discussion.
As such I'd rather just exit the conversation.
@Ferretsyndicate@radical.town No one should ever be taxed at those insane rates. Especially when there is more than enough money to go around just most of it is wasted on things we shouldnt be spending on (like military). Fix the budget, lower taxes for everyone, including the rich, and you get my support...
@tjemni That doesnt make sense. If you download the code to a flash drive it would be no different then cloning to that same flash drive. Or even just having the git repository on your computer.
No one can tell when your working with a git repo that already exists on your disk (unless you push or pull).
@Christian
I cant speak to his motivations. I'd have to watch more of his videos to get a sense. It could be a political leaning, it could be just for dramatic effect, it could be he has "insights and draws conclusions and tries to back it up with data later.
Whatever the cause I think misrepresenting facts and data (usually with good intentions or for a good cause, and often even causes i agree with) are probably the most harmful thing for america right now. We need rational logical consideration, no more of these emotional tantrums. For that we need honest data.
@Christian
My mistake then, which is why I asked, it just seemed odd.
