@dorney Yell into the cave, ignore your echo, and listen for a response 😀

@floby Totally agree, it's ok to differ. I am not trying to judge how one person uses Mastodon in comparison to me. Sorry if it came off like that @lukemartell @seldo

@hikerfromva you will get used to it to. Baby steps, then I will show you some extra features you may like.

Hey @elonmusk

buy discord next plz i want people to migrate on matrix.org instead of using that shitty data miner

@jaysonmassey Interesting. So like all systems, with growth over time they all devolve negatively. Is this due to exploitation during growth?

@kreyren I think @freemo said last night that kiwifarm doesn't exist anymore.

Because people don't know that instance admins actually have *real* power on the Fediverse, here's the many things they can do:

1. Ban you
2. Silence you
3. Automatically force all your posts behind a CW
4. Delete your posts
5. De-federate the instance you're on

But also, they can do pretty much do whatever they like -- they own their instance. 🧵

@javifields I'm sure that economic growth coupled with the changing cultural norms over the past half century are the leading causes.

@lukemartell Without the local timeline, it's just twitter really. @seldo @floby

@MessengerFlats it's always solicited in my timeline. Beautiful setup.

@curiousgawker I've never encountered a Nazi, there or anywhere. I guess I am lucky in that sense. Sounds like you are following the wrong kind of people maybe, if that's what you see. Or perhaps your perspective of what constitutes a Nazi is a bit too lax. This kind of lax representing of people as Nazi's diminishes those throughout history who were truly the victims of the Nazi regime. The word, unfortunately is losing it's power and seriousness globally, because of this. Unfortunately, as with this post, Godwin's Law applies.

I agree with you on the underprivileged and underrepresented communities there, unfortunately those of all political persuasions who are in privileged positions of occupation and random celebrity seem to have the most power.

@curiousgawker So is your speech about holding these "motherfuckers" accountable for their complicity hate speech. As those "motherfuckers" are a group of people? It sounds like you hate them, or at least have prejudice against them.

@Romaq I've tried them all. Tusky is my personal favorite, FediLab is my 2nd favorite, and has a lot more features (that I personally don't want on Android) .

@seldo Also, a user can take their local timeline out of existence, so again, I don't see the problem. @floby

@seldo We differ there for sure. That partially negates the reasons people join instances. If that's the case, Mastodon might as well be centralized. Which is unoriginal and boring. That's just my opinion. @floby
