@cake suggested a rate limit of 5 posts an hour. It might improve the quality of NAS, and we're already limited to 500 characters so it's not crazy. Limiting posts, but not replies maybe?
Haha yeah @justinerickson a lot of anime, bots and shitposters is right. Plus M5M reposts and porn... There's more than I can get through already, so I'm fine with the fediblocks, but I don't really know what I'm missing since I only look at Mastodon through noagendasocial.
@justinerickson@wjmaggos@amerika@PNS@cake I've muted a bunch of people, all from other servers, after looking through their posts and finding nothing of value. I agree with William about echo chambers, but Feral Housewife brings up a good point about posting rates, it does drown out a lot of other stuff. I only have so much time to spend dicking around on NAS... But the home feed is sort of a solution to this, I can get through my follows first and then wade through the Live Feed.
@wjmaggos@amerika@PNS@cake maybe people just want a place where they don’t have to hear the obnoxious leftist echo chamber that exists at every turn in everyone’s life in entertainment, public education, universities, big tech, mainstream media, etc etc.
We’ve all heard their opinions over and over again.
To be fair, the right way to use the #fediverse seems to be to block/mute content you do not wish to see.
If Leftism is irrelevant to her, then she should mute/block those accounts that promote it.
Same way I just muted 8,192 accounts which are shilling blogs, containers, podcasts, python, ruby, rust, haskell, go, Apple, and other irrelevant stuff.
mute/block assholes. that includes people who constantly tag you with stuff you clearly don't want to see and those saying things for money. but don't mute/block people just because you occasionally see the information or opinions they post and you don't like it. that creates echo chambers that will make you more misinformed and closed minded. just don't follow them.
NAS mutes a lot of instances too, and that will fuck up a thread. You can't see the replies of anyone you're not following. Plus, over there, follows from muted instances don't show up in your notifications. You have to go into your account menu to see them and manually accept the follows. NAS doesn't tell you this.
I think I now understand what Adam was complaining about. I follow 1k accounts but they are mostly on servers I think you're fediblocked from. Most of them rarely post but following so many keeps my personal feed lively. I don't think I could get that experience on NAS. If I tried, it would probably be a lot of memes from the same people. The problem isn't NAS but that the fediblocks mean your diets get too concentrated.
I leave it up to the users. To each their own. I just don't want to risk cp coming across my server, so that's the only reason I have limited instances blocked. I know the risk is low even from those instances, but I can't risk it given my profession.
@wjmaggos@Humpleupagus@amerika@cake@justinerickson@PNS@SirLuke theres plebty of places where u can have an account that doesnt do that the only contingency is they dont kowtow to feelings usually. Sealcafe, eveningzoo, detroitriotcity, nyanlabs, clubcyberia, cumsalon theres a pretty extensive list
@Humpleupagus@wjmaggos@PNS@SirLuke@amerika@cake@justinerickson most def drc and cum salon both defed for csam and child porn cause thats a legal thing but they let instances in total alone as far as im aware. I think pernia and nimt have certain coding stuff in place to properly block out stuff before it reaches me. I love akkoma cause wheb u mute someone they completely disappear its wonderful
quick question , isn't all fedi TL the same? I would think that Fedi is wide open and your mutes and blocks would be on your local server tab. apologies for nubi question in advance.😀
@Brianwarden@justinerickson@amerika@Humpleupagus@cake@wjmaggos@PNS@SirLuke your a stupid nigger every instance has its own federation based on repeats which make items visible on the timeline. If you EVER make such a retarded nigger statement in my presence again ill personally come to your home and rape you to death with a steak knife
@justinerickson@Lyx <-big talk for a little penis. maybe you will make it further than the last piece of shit that tried but maybe you won't. my bet is you'll get slocked by a hail of brass as soon as your mom drops you off. then I'll warm up the chipper and shove you in feet first and feed you to the hogs.
