I've seen people make up worse stories. So yeah. 😜

And I think it's your bird which is sick, I suggest to bring it to the vet.

@freemo
If you can't really tell anymore, it wasn't really funny. ;)

@bara

I haven't seen him raving about that and I can hardly believe a random internet stranger now, can I? First time I see your name around, so if you'll pardon me... I'll give Freemo the benefit of the doubt as I can not judge him from a random comment of a random passersby.

They must be asleep then.

I still hear nothing.

@freemo
That image is making my head hurt.

@SteveZissou Free is what it's all about! Have fun! 😁 (Though it's really about gaming, but free is a nice bonus!)

@rhyn0bytes Just a tiny upgrade indeed. I mean, what's really changed? A bunch of numbers, that's what. '960' to '3090'. Psaw, that's nothing!

@freemo
What noise?

😇

@lucifargundam

@freemo
Yes, I totally blame you. After all, it's the cool thing to do. Half the Fediverse does it!

@lucifargundam

@rhyn0bytes Oh, right. Time for those games with an insane amount of units!

@lucifargundam You're irrelevant!

Or since we're on Mastodon.. irrelephant!
@freemo

@rhyn0bytes That's quite a lot of GPU power. Are you going to simulate rockets for the NASA with it? ;)

@demitasse@pleroma.narrativerry.xyz
Alt-left hates us, now we got alt-right berating us too.

Damn, we must be doin' something right! 😋

@Gargron @stux @freemo @peterdrake

@freemo Alt-center all the way baby.

If people can be extreme left and extreme right, then I'm extreme center which averages out so I am.. well.. not that special really.

I love being True Neutral in games. ;) Although it might end up in chaotic neutral at times, ah well!

@peterdrake
I have seen all those messages as well. Like a half hour ago. I was tempted to respond to them, but it'd be not really an useful endeavour. The way we discuss right now wouldn't be possible there as they'd do the equivalent of putting fingers in the ear and go 'nanana'.

For starters, they won't be able to see messages or boosts from the bad actor instances. They blocked them already, remember? We wouldn't be able to change that. Whatever we'd boost, they'd not see it if it came from those blocked instances.

And just because Qoto doesn't block the bad instances itself, Qoto users are suddenly 'people who literally want them and their friends dead'? That's quite a hyperbole.

And if I recall correctly, all new users got the recommendation to use a Fediblock to import if they don't want to see the bad actors. The federated timeline looks fine to me, I use blocks liberally myself.

Everyone you happened to quote there, those are likely people I wouldn't think worth my time to interact with as it'd be complaints most of the way anyway. I'd rather have a more positive outlook on life. And I'm sure so do you as your posts have proven. :)

@freemo @QOTO

@peterdrake
I agree in general with your sentiment.
Except for one thing:

> 'Saying it's up to individual users to block things they don't want to see feels a bit privileged.'

We don't mind other instances blocking other instances. The problem is that the toxic ones do so for the wrong reasons. Like blocking others because they don't block the same instances as they do, and then trying to convince other instances to block the same.

If one instance wants to block half the Fediverse, that's up to them. Totally. They can be a walled garden for all I care. But then to spread their blocklist and say 'this is the one true safe blocklist' seems ... well, they basically become the very people they hate.

@freemo @Gargron @stux @QOTO

@shareefjackson Ah well, better luck next thanksgiving? 😁

@hvangalen Succes ermee. ;)

@crosswordman My first thought was 'there is an imposter among us'. ;)

Nice tails!
