🇳🇱
A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
its so much easier and safe that way
Those who literally can't see an opposing viewpoint or potentially offensive language without experiencing a mental breakdown lost their agency long ago and probably do need to be managed by an outside force
They are totalitarian cowards who aren't nearly as smart as they think they are, and they aren't being trolled so to speak, they're simply getting honest feedback for the first time in their lives
Those that were decent people and could ignore the trolls did just fine. They just are not visible because they're not as loud as the morons.
Normgroid NPC cattle will receive the exact same treatment as journos
I agree with this! I've been on Twitter since the early days and I post about war and geopolitics. If anybody is going to be harrassed it's someone like moi. It easy to deal with and the Birdsite of late included tools to restrict comments on posts etc. Methinks many of these folks are used to the echo chamber and some probably need reassurance by the choir. That's my take - It's life, just because we have a new medium doesn't change human behaviour. I'm still on the Birdsite and will be on Mastodon. Different crowds or was until the Birdsite hordes came over. I also agree with the poster who was pondering why they left the walled garden of the Birdsite and came to the Federation where things have always been a bit wild - Think Usenet before it became all spam/UCE!
This isn't hating on them, just wondering why they have to be coddled so much. <shrug>
Oh and @freemo, I appreciate all that you do providing a great server service - You're quite reasonable and I'm sorry that folks have been complaining to you about me. FTR no one complained to me personally about anything I said. :-) I'd like to contribute financially, but will have to wait until the new year to sort things out. Pension is increased next year. ;=)
Simple twitter refugees were not brigaded without provocation, journos were
@Corfiot While I agree it isnt a good idea to blindly block based off a list without looking into the reasons for entries being on that list, I disagree on the point that you dont block/curate servers. If a server allows bad actors, and you dont want to see bad actors, blocking the server is onne of the best things about the fediverse, that you dont need to block 100,000 people, you can just block 10 servers.
That said, if seeing vile human beings pop up from time to time and you just ignore them is something your ok with, then sure, dont block servers (I dont).
Man, I want to see what happens to these people when the electricity goes off for the last time
No you misunderstood, I am not saying people get mental health issues from fedi.. Im saying some people may not have much mental health to spare and are very sensative to hurtful comments, and they simply dont want to be exposed to it because they donnt want to cry themselves to sleep because something hurtful you or anyone says happened to work... You might call that pathetic, I call that human, and some people have mental health concerns.
I got the sadbrains and a lot of stress in my life, but I don't break down into tears over people being shitty on the internet. That isn't a mental health concern, that's just infantile.
lol
@Jackuu @Corfiot @freemo @sj_zero
The idea that everyone who is not exactly the same as you and doesn't make the same choices should be mocked simply doesn't hold water.
If you can't be bothered with some basic empathy that goes past measuring someone against your one and only standard then you should really refrain from evaluating their decisions.
❄️🥶
And now that they are finally being called out for their behavior, they are losing their minds over it and going back to their fainting couches.
>they chased us to the banned nigga zone and tried to do it again
>"Wow I can't believe you're throwing shit back! I'm going to ban you! Terrible person!"
Gaslighting is a very effective way of dealing with dissent. It will certainly be even more effective when the power goes out for good during our lifetimes and you are suddenly surrounded by people you made enemies of and there are no more cops to save you. Please continue to be this way. It will end well for you in this life and the next.
I just had a fight with jakuu for him being a dick. I publicly said I dissed you by mistake cause of IRL stuff going on tonight and i got mixed up, pissed off for other reasons - sorry about that. So you stop being a nigger and turn off the playback on your tape recorder
why are you fags all so terrified that someone might disagree with you? the weird ideological purity spiral shit has left you all barely functional as people
@sj_zero If you know an instance on there that moderates against bad actors and therefore shouldnt be on the list feel free to let me know.
@sj_zero It isnt meant to be exhastive, but its a good start if the goal is to get rid of the bulk of the trolls.
While there may be some examples lacking (and in fact im sure there are), its not true to say none of them.
Spinser deals in quite a bit of hate towards males and is specifically an instance designed for a mostly female audience. Yet they are on there.
@freemo I have imported that, but how do i see the domains blocked in the gui? Nothing shows up anywhere apart from saying 123 domains are imported?
Fediblock does not work throughout the fediverse.
Alternatively, use hubzilla. Build slowly a list of connections ("contacts") of people of general personal interest. Use content filters appropriately with each connection (e.g. you appreciate a person's content about maths, but not cats, so you create a filter to remove posts about cats and see everything else)
@freemo Thank you!
These are site users genuinely sharing their opinions and feedback. Isn't that part of the point of journalism, to have a relationship with the people you're reporting to? Or are you just admitting the point of it is to create state level propaganda and narratives to rewrite reality into whatever the ruling class wants it to be?
Reminder
