@antisophon also the whole anti-soapbox shit is awful, its impossible to find tolerable fedi software from a technical standpoint. it's a really silly expectation to expect everyone to put up with mastodon

@antisophon i dont know whether i should give an apology or even if anyone deserves one, i'd like to think that a promise to act more reasonably around people would be enough, but it is never enough for some people

@opal why do people hate you so much, anyways? you seem chill

@opal @antisophon It's literally the pettiest of drama and it's going to look even more foolish considering I've seen plenty of left leaning people with political views the opposite of Alex using Soapbox more and more.
All that's going to do is pit people against those instances.

@opal @antisophon Then again, being blocked by nicecrew.digital says a lot about how neurotic they are and moreso with that reason that's literally on the level of calling anyone "fash". It's funny watching the poast/similar instances be just as block happy as those they claim to hate.
It's also coming around to bite poast as some thread I'm tagged in already treats being blocked by Graf as an achievement and poast defederating people/instances for the most minor of reasons has become a meme on this side of the fedi. I'm sure harassing any new account who joined didn't help one bit.

@pawlicker @antisophon i see graf coming to his senses (slowly) not just because he ended up undoing the defederation against my account here, but in general the reality of hosting a large instance is settling in for him

@pawlicker @opal @antisophon
its fascinating to me that ppl coming here because they were banned from somewhere else are the easiest ppl to trigger
-

@rats @opal @antisophon You can tell who was banned from somewhere else because the ones who aren't would crawl back to Twitter when they got triggered by dumb shit.

@opal @antisophon i kind of wanted to start a genre "watchlistcore" where you just rap out celebrities / that you are going to kill them and you are right to because they are reptiles / addresses

@rats @opal @antisophon I heard negativexp changed his name from school shooter because he kept getting FBI visits for calling himself school shooter.

@rats @antisophon i cant wait to make music that will get people genuinely concerned about me

@rats @antisophon personally im here because i need a space to be unapologetically loud about music, video games, and art that matter to just about nobody

@rats @antisophon anyway back to the talking point i really hope a community forms here that can be fairly standalone and the inevitable effects of federation wont hurt people's possibly-first experiences on fedi too badly

@opal @antisophon 100% the way people respond to this stuff felt like total spectacle / annoyance of having to consider it instead of actually caring about harm reduction
i only see this dynamic continue to increase, people talk about CSAM in ways that utterly baffle me

@rats @antisophon yeah i never believed that pushing these things under the rug would give any true justice to anything

@opal @antisophon
it makes sense to me in the context of a.w was and the goals/principles for it (at least to my understanding) but without that context it could def come off the wrong way yeah

@opal @antisophon
instead, all the ppl that i remember were behaving in legitimately concerning / dangerous ways are all still around and we lost a place that cared about freedom of expression

@rats @antisophon i realise that someone might come across this and conclude that i care about spam more than what worldmap was posting, but the fact of the matter is, imageboards would have allowed the very same content. hell, there were web addresses watermarked onto the pictures
-
Embed this notice
@rats @antisophon i think what graf took issue to specifically, was when i was poorly handling worldmap because i didnt have full context of how much of a dick he was being. but keep in mind, im one person, i practically woke up to this happening, and people were coming at me from all sides telling me to deal with this person who was posting legally-accessible shit, albeit in really bad taste by spamming the fuck out of everyone
if it was reported as spam then i would have gotten the message immediately and not had this falling-out with anyone

@opal @antisophon for the time i was around I always viewed you as confrontational but genuinely well-intentioned and then you got fucked over by people taking advantage of that generosity to post illegal shit and then you shouldered the entire blame

@opal @antisophon
it was so legitimately disheartening to watch this play out because everything was handled in the best way possible
you were available, in communication, present - you were informed about legality around some images and responded by removing them + went above and beyond in posting md5 hash so people could check if it had federated to them and remove it
people flipped out so hard about it that iirc graf was telling ppl the md5 hash itself was illegal, possibly deeply confusing a lot of onlookers as to what they were supposed to do with the hash and how it was there to help them

@rats @opal @antisophon except most of the pedophile jokes make fun of the abusers, I remember people mocking pedophile musicians a lot at one time (especially as many got away with it, especially the ones banging teenage fangirls).
They just don't like the Catholic priest jokes because it's mocking a very real problem that many dioceses covered up by shuffling priests and everyone there larps as it.
