One thing disappointing about the #Fediverse is that there are very few instances that don't ban "hate speech". The #Fediverse is often painted as a decentralized free-speech utopia, yet most instances ban hate speech.
The #Fediverse frankly is better suited for developing safe spaces than true free speech online, where you can say anything you want, and anybody can read what you say.
@Meeker Trans-identified people are less likely to be murdered than "men" when adjusted for population size. This suggests that men who identify as women are actually better off for having done so. Scroll to section 5, "Trans deaths": https://blog.alexgleason.me/trans/

Serious pun game on their behalf. That said I’m waiting for Kanye to open a megachurch and hold rap sermons every Sunday
Kanye West dapper as he ditches Yeezy sweats and sneakers in favor of blazer and Birkenstock shoes - From Discover on Google https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7875529/Kanye-West-dapper-ditches-Yeezy-sweats-sneakers-favor-blazer-Birkenstock-shoes.html
@shpuld wut?
@snow We as users can certainlu voice our opinions. The culture there in Japan is certainly different, there are things alloweed there that would be jail bait in a western country.
One of the main reasons instances were concerned about some of the Asian instances - and many blocked them wholesale, just to avoid having copies of those media files in their own servers (as normally, copies of images end up cached locally in many places because someone in that instance is following a remote user).
There is a good article I found the other day that you might enjoy reading - it explains some of this and the admins reactions to it, the culture in Japan.

@snow @puzzl would you be willing to provide a list of these instances you've blocked for NSFW pics? I'd like to block those as well.
@sda I mean like that's the only logical reason for saying "the South was wrong", so like...💁🏾♂️
Anybody remember this * classic * video by #StevenCrowder? He apologizes for everyone he's offended on the show.

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!
Headspace indicators (inspired by @pizza):
🔵 = I'm in a good headspace
⚪ = Not doing great, but still ok
🔴 = Terrible headspace, feel free to ask me how I'm doing but no accusations or political or societal discussions pls or I'll rant lol
