Certain mastodon instances/groups shouldn't just be able to come onto the fediverse and change the culture and narrative here. There was a long history here before them. But this means that we need something to counter this, we need to be talking about the truth more and countering their ignorance and lies.
I wish that I knew everything but there were many years before even I joined GNU Social. If we're not careful, we will lose that history from our living memory too.

@sim interesting, thanks.
I'll try to keep that in mind.
@volkris "There are a broad variety of users on SPC, from "normal people" to edgeposters, to creatives. Mostly we want to have a good time. You have free speech on SPC but at the same time, we don't want the server to turn to shit and flamewars and Heil Hitler All The Time. So try to relax and have fun. This isn't a rule, but a plea. We've been around for almost five years and the server's got a comfy vibe and we want you to be a part of it." This is the official stance on our culture.
@sim Well put
@volkris I think we've found a good middle ground here.
I should probably add that this was written a while back now. We've been here longer than five years at this point.

If the only thing that I posted were shitposts then that would make for a boring timeline, indeed.
