Okay. So, someone made a song of Alex Jones rants in the form of an Indie Folk Song.
And. Wow. Fantastic. https://youtu.be/uWd6XgBVIcg

Yeah, sex is cool, but does anyone know where to find Scottish mastodon?
@MarinaOL do you actively use this then?
Billy burger at Broughgammon farm near Ballycastle. Highly recommended.

The local ravens have been using our birdbath to store their dinner (delightful things like decapitated parrot heads) so every time the dog goes outside he heads straight to the birdbath to see if there are any new “treats”.

The notion that FOSS isn't political and/or shouldn't be political is completely absurd because the whole existence of FOSS is to achieve outcomes that many people who don't subscribe to FOSS philosophies are opposed to.
As such, if it's anything, FOSS can only be political.
Being anti-political is just a bizarre notion that can only emerge in supreme lack of education in cultures where having a political opinion is considered a bad thing because that can lead to negative economic consequences.

What a social network is for:
- See interesting stuff from friends and people that interest you
- Cute animal photo of the day
- Feel a positive human connection
What it ain’t for:
- Witch hunts
- Make up bullshit about strangers you never met
- Brand engagement
@Expat1975 one should only say “no pun intended” when there’s no pun actually there. This confuses your enemy.

Well either that or when you "see it" a moderator talks to the person first to get them to stop doing whatever the amoral act happens to be. As long as you don't insta-ban then strict codified and objective rules arent needed.
With that said not having objective rules can be a turn off to a potential new user since they dont really know if their personal expression is one that is later going to be held against them or if they will be demanded to stop later. Once they are already invested and a few thousand posts in they may not want to find out they are on the wrong instance for them.

I agree, for the most part. Not sure I agree that self-harm is wrong. While it is something we should try to prevent I do feel people have a right to self-harm if they wish without being deemed an immoral actor.
But for the most part I think we agree.

bofa
@trayofbees QOTO doesnt silence any instance. But I can say that after seeing the way bofa is moderated that if any instance deserves a silence its bofa.
@trayofbees @Ademan @arteteco @absolutus though I currently see the strength of Mastodon being the fediverse and the ability to interact across instances. If that is prevented the platform loses its appeal to me. I guess it’s the equivalent of blocking a spamming smtp server, but who gets to decide what should be blocked.... I guess we have to trust admins on that. @freemo what’s your line for blocking an instance?
@trayofbees @freemo @Ademan @arteteco @absolutus it also wouldn’t surprise me to know there are people here (generally the fediverse rather than specifically #QOTO) with the purpose of fragmenting things by starting fights and then trying to get instances blocked.
