@dusnm My solution is **not** to convince anyone not to use defederation.. so your making a lot of assumptions about my intent here.

You might want to ask yourself, why do yo already find yourself disagreeing with me when I havent even made my proposal public yet?

@freemo @kev @da5nsy @mike

Thank you for this update, I am planning to stay here on qoto,

If need be I can block people / servers who support or who are posting inappropriate content easy enough

What I have seen has NOT originated from Qoto, which makes it far easier to block the server it does originate on.

White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her.

#helloworld! I like it when the #internet is for everyone and am trying out the #fediverse. Please bear with me; I was told I should use lots of #hashtags and am trying out the features.

I'm using #fedilab on Android. I already have a #noobquestion: can I add hashtags in Fedilab to my home feed? Right now I have some hashtags in the top bar but I have to view them all separately. #thx!

How many characters are too many? Can I just go on forever? I heard there was a limit but I still haven't reached it. Maybe it's 600 characters? 1000? I guess at some point the numbers will just go red and I will know what's up. Ok it wasn't 600. I'll just search online then because this is getting way out of hand. ...GREAT SCOTT I'm glad I did: it's 65,535 characters on my instance. #qoto 😂

@QOTO ok ther eis actually a bit of a problem.. need to fix our s3...

@evan

If you or anyoine might be interested in getting involved in a solution (social not technical) hit me up.

@danhon

It's perfectly reasonable and possible for *both* of these statements to be true:

* it is better here than on Twitter
* this better *isn't good enough*

Federation and decentralization *as currently and inconsistently and idiosyncratically practiced* while better, are not good enough.

Digging in and saying that decentralization and federation *is* good enough is really, really unhelpful.

Also, the potential for better does not mean the practical experience is better.

@freemo Yeah I too run a Friendica instance and I never de-federeated. This is getting old for me already, and I kept screaming about this for a while now. A bunch of admins on the fediverse act like Musk I swear. Quickly block other instances in the name of thousands or millions. Non transparent too.

I have no clue what's the issue here....I've been on the fediverse for 2 years now.....where are these trolls and idiots and nazi and child porn? I have seen none. Maybe because I carefully select who I want to follow and if anyone is a troll I block them immediately. Simple. Works great. Thus, users has a tremendous power at taking care of themselves and new tools/options can improve the situation, such as the ability to mute comments on your posts or only accept comments from your friends, or block lists that individuals can enable for themselves, and so on.

De-federation is a very primitive and destructive behavior.

@freemo Defederation can be a threat for decentralization, I'm glad there are other fediverse admins who understand this.

@Pat @LouisIngenthron @trinsec

Using the f-slur as a general insult, very progressive I see.
Luckily this guy is not on qoto but its really fucking unfortunate that going against censorship so often attracts hateful rhetoric.

@freemo *suddenly the alt-center army turns against itself, as former comrades draw hard lines against each other for having hard lines*

@freemo
My alignment is irrelevant

@freemo Wtf is "alt-center"?

"Oh, we want to demonize and restrict the rights of someone, but we just can't make up our minds about who to do it to..."
