I've been around these parts for awhile, using alt social media since April 2018 and joined the Fediverse on July 4, 2019.
Let the 2020s be the decade of positive vibes and supporting each other, bios!!
I also have a podcast now w/ Counter Points Media btw, sub here bois:

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

@freemo@qoto.org First off, I am confused as to potential ramifications to the Gab community but I get it

The doctor is "real in"? What does changing my local instance on #Halcyon do?

I have no ethical issue with them making money. I just find Ads to be disrupticve of my personal enjoyment and as such go to great lengths to avoid them. If FB were a paid service I'd likely pay to get rid of ads and not have any issue with that.. presuming they were stealing my data too (I'd also pay so they dont in that case)
@freemo @design_RG I don't have an issue making money. FaceBook must be funded somehow. At their scale, ads might not be necessary. (It must be noted that Wikipedia doesn't have ads.)
Precisely. What I am protesting is the controls to fight fake news.
Fake news is a problem, I just don't trust #Facebook to tell me what news I should and shouldn't be using.
My preferred solution, unmoderated news, uncertainly leads to * more * fake news, admittedly. But it also leads to more user freedom, and cedes less control to Big Tech.
#Mastodon and the #Fediverse works in this way, which is one reason I like it so much.

@realcaseyrollins @NekoAmps A lot of people prefer to have no association with gab or their peripheral instances, as they are perceived negatively.
My own opinion of them is not favourable, ans I have chosen to not federate with them at all. But, that isa personal user choice, and the instance here has connections to them unimpeded.
I just discovered (two days ago in fact) that I could not boost one of my blog announcements from a large instance where I have an account. Dismayed, couldn't see my profile either, or any content here in Qoto.org.
Turns out that instance (a Tech oriented one, to make it worse) has blacklisted Qoto. I read their Terms of Conduct, and it looks like it is because we don't block other instances the local admin has objections to.
So, guilty by association.
I am dismayed -- and plan to write and appeal that, but if this is ithe reason for it, unlikely we could get un-banned. As an author, I find it sad - the place has 20,000 users almost, and a Tech orientation; a perfect public of possible readers for my themed blog.
Once I have made communications with their admin, and whichever the results, I think it will give me material for a reporting blog post. No secrets, just documenting the functioning of the fediverse and these odd things we encounter.

We disagree on two points. The obvious one is Trump being a bad president, but thats also a bit of a tangent.
The other is that its the elites in Silicon Valley that are the issue. Most of the news agencies arent Silicon Valley Elites running the show, though it is Elites. The issue is far simpler than that... News is for-profit. That means they will do what makes them money and that is secondary to Truth or Honesty. Since people in the USA are all extremist they basically WANT bias, and what the paying public wants they get.

How dare you create a hellthread in my name 😤
I wonder if I angered any of them for some reason. I first ran into neckbeard.xyz when I came across a thread about instance recommendations and claimed that #Gab is a total free speech instance
@freemo @design_RG I don't think #Trump has been a bad president. There are only a few things I can point out that he's done I don't like, namely the trade war, not promoting responsible spending, and supporting the FDA's ban on certain ecig flavors.
It also of course must be mentioned that Obama was the subject of fake news too.
The issue is, when you have elites in Silicon Valley determine which stories you can and can't see, they will undoubtedly push for their own agenda.
😂
Seriously, we need to take out any threats and just leave, not sit around building military bases. 💁🏾♂️ Just my two cents.
It doesn't mean we don't protect our own.

@realcaseyrollins That site is on my radar screen too - we had users reporting their content.
I am not pleased with what I saw there, lewd things with children images. Borderline criminal, imo.
Luckily we have the option and the power to fully block any instances as Users - and I do use that.
Will prepare a blog post on Content Filtering and Blocking, my To Do list is merciless, but I like to have those done.
@kumicota @proxeus we really shouldn't be in the middle East rn, on that we probably agree. But in the case where you have someone plotting to kill Americans... it's probably justified to take that guy out.
What is the alternative? I don't see any other solutions in this thread that would save American lives 🤔
