   Just muted a load of toxic hugbox censorship instances.
   
   You either support the open internet or you do not, and there is no middle ground.

     If you can't tell the difference between deciding what you want to see, and someone deciding on your behalf, then I will refer you again to the piece I wrote about this, which was published on the machine that is currently down, but which I can attach here.

     you muted them? would blocking a server full of spammers be ok? doesn't sound very free speech absolutist to me.

     @amerika @wjmaggos They're really fuckin' cool.
     
     Slightly on that topic, I have a floppy image for LHX Attack Chopper. Used to play it a lot as a kid: basically Libya, East Germany, Vietnam, you're flying around and doing stealth missions while trying to stay low enough that MiGs don't catch you on the radar. The medevac missions were fun, but did involve shooting people. The medevac missions were cool, but usually did involve shooting people, especially in Libya where the thing you bump into if you fly too low is a stick figure with an AK.

     I always wanted to fly medevac choppers. If you want a chance to prove you have some guts without shooting people, that is one way.

     the open internet. IRL you're for killing commies. banishing so many others. excuse me if I doubt that you'll advise some future monarch to keep these lines of communication open once you've accomplished your larger goals, and some bad ideas are getting through and gaining purchase with the people and threatening stability.

     > You forgot that Twitter is not neolibs heaven anymore,
     
     It's his style of interaction: pithy internet slap-fights where no one reads. He keeps attempting the slap-fight thing and complaining about MILLIONS OF WORDS. Maybe he hates Elon, but he can't value the decentralization and lack of censorship if he keeps arguing for it. He pulled that shit as a reply to my words about being sad because my dog died and then complained that there were TOO MANY WORDS in my reply.
     
     > all the super liberal hashtags that kept trending were all fake shit pushed by Twitter itself
     
     Oh, shit, if there's confirmation, links plox.

     > what about a server with lots of spammers?
     
     What I did was write a filter for the spam, because there were a lot of people on Pawoo that I talked to and did not want to stop talking to. Junk mail comes in buckets: did you remove your mailbox?
     
     > I'm a tiny server and don't have your higher standards for free expression.
     
     This is the difference, not whether spam is good or bad.
     
     > if admins didn't do that, the fedi would be full of them I assume.
     
     There are a lot of open servers where the admins are asleep rather than malicious. Fedi doesn't turn out to be full of spam. There's plenty if you can find it, but it is trivial to set up an instance, spam, and then hop domains, and spam is still pretty rare on fedi. Fedi effectively has no admins: instances do (for now). Here you are, using it like normal.
     
     > people would know we are principled defenders of everybody's right to be scammed by Nigerians.
     
     I'll have a conversation with you, but if you're going to be an ass, I've got more pressing matters to attend to. You repeatedly ignore feedback and proceed to beat the strawman, then you mock the strawman. This leads me to the conclusion that you are just doing an internet slap-fight, and I've got no interest.

     @amerika @p

     what about a server with lots of spammers? I have to police those on liberal.city every once in a while. but I'm a tiny server and don't have your higher standards for free expression. if admins didn't do that, the fedi would be full of them I assume. I'm sure you'd spend just as much time here if you had to block them regularly. and it would only make us more inviting to the world cause people would know we are principled defenders of everybody's right to be scammed by Nigerians.

     The fediverse, like the old BBS network, runs on mockingbirds.
     
     Look at all the people making information available, running servers, doing crazy movie nights, making memes, even just posting content everyday to make people think.
     
     These mockingbirds are trying against the odds to save this species from itself, even in their small corner.
