@Pawlicker@bae.st what's the reputation status on mastodon.art? "i use it because everybody is here"? " going somewhere else makes me prone to being cancelled"?
@mata_aimasho It already has IMO, but do you think they give a shit? Their goal is to get the world to follow them. "I am, of course, hoping that maybe by us silencing them, we can initiate some kind of change in the moderation there."
That's the quiet part out loud. That's why they do this. If the network does not bend over to them, they'd rather have no network.
@Pawlicker@bae.st that's downright obsessive. why the fuck would you try to be the most popular visual artist instance and procceed to block the most popular one, after blocking every instance you can possibly justify
that's going to the point of insanity and clearly could make massive damage to the network
@mata_aimashomisskey.io, the infamous western shota artists of baraag, and the next walled garden hoping that someone will like them there. Bluesky? Threads (lol porn is banned haha)? I don't know of too many fedi artists tbh other than ones banned from Twitter, artists stayed on Twitter hoping to get fame or to network.
@mata_aimasho Still a big deal for discoverability. Normies don't want to deal with any of this bullshit. Nevermind the fact Twitter block chains existed, it was hidden at least.
