So in a conversation that was relevant I went to check how long I've been int he Fedi. Turns out I've been here for 4 years so far and QOTO is about 3.5 years old. Its been a long run.

I wonder how long the fediverse has been around overall.

@Jojothegoodperson

Yea I started on Mastodon.social and a few other alts I had early on. Then after a few months I started QOTO.

@freemo
Oh alright, I don't like mastodon social because it's trying to not offend anybody but at the same time it's censoring people's speech and civilized discussions.

@Jojothegoodperson I dont mind M.S in terms of their users, they are ok enough users. I also dont mind gargron, he is ok enough... but I dont like being a user on the server as they are a bit too quick to ban people for silly things.

@freemo
I do, as I said, I don't like liberalism, I think it's worse than the right.

@Jojothegoodperson I suspect its more american liberalism you hate more than the right. and I would agree with you.

But keep in mind I'm a world traveler. The liberals in other countries are much nicer to talk to.

@Jojothegoodperson neo or classical? And the people or the ideals they claim to follow?

@freemo
What is neo? I don't know about classical, but I did a political spectrum on myself one time, and I was a classical liberal.

@Jojothegoodperson neo-liberal is usually what people mean when they say liberal. classical liberals are people who beleive in minimal government intervention (also called libertarian)

@freemo
Yeah, but I'm just tired of America politcs, it's fucking retarded oml.

@Jojothegoodperson yea american politics is quite inbearable.

I hate american liberals, I agree they are usually worse than conservatives, at least in the real world. Their ideals on paper arent too bad (though i think misdirected)... but in person they just act like the extreme right does but worse.

@freemo
I don't kmow, I think liberalism needs to improve on themselves, it shouldnt be about extreme politcal correctness (not trying to offend anybody). It should be about democracy and respecting minorities while also maintaining freedom of speech. Yeah, I won't even get into the LGBT community, it's a fucking mess and I'm homosexual! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Jojothegoodperson americans anywhere on the spectrum need a lot of improvment honestly... America is falling apart.

@freemo
Yes, I talked to my friends about having a system where presidents should have an IQ of 200 or above, that's how done I am with America. It has the geography, the protection, the freedom of speech, BUT THEY AREN'T USING IT CORRECTLY

@Jojothegoodperson I'm not sure an IQ will fix the problem honestly... its more than stupidity.

@freemo lol, japan has a very high intelligence, and it has strict societal norms which fixed the country.

@Jojothegoodperson While I think japan is a lovely place for those who wish to live in a place like that I suspect I would find it very unenjoyable personally. Its not the way I'd want to see our country "fixed"

@freemo
Why not? Don't you want to be done with politics and dumbasses?

@Jojothegoodperson Sure, but I would hate to live in a socially restrictive culture where there is a very strict sense of formal social interactions

I much prefer cultures where people accept the idiosyncrasies of others.

@Jojothegoodperson The netherlands is my favorite place to be so far in terms of people.

@freemo
I had a ex boyfriend that was from the Netherlands, but I think germany is better.
