@GreenSkyOverMe@ohai.social @Dunstable@mstdn.ca So being woke means discussing feelings, eating healthily and having an interest in history? Seems like an odd thing for anyone to get worked up about.

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be I saw a pact going around that seemed to imply they would block all instances that federated with meta.

@maikelthedev @ada @jdp23@calckey.social @kainoa@calckey.social @supakaity@blahaj.zone Yes. It is a bug. If user A makes a comment on a post, then user B replies to that, and users B and C have an interesting thread based on that, user A shouldn't be able to delete the whole thread. Allowing them to do that is a serious flaw.

@Jain@blob.cat @supakaity@blahaj.zone @ada@blahaj.zone @cody@misskey.codingneko.com Okay, I see where you are coming from. As a user I disagree because I think I would benefit from tools that helped me be a 'good actor' because I want to be able to just 'hit boost' etc without having to check profiles. And with search feature that preference makes no sense at a user level, because if I see the post in my search results, I've seen it, it makes no sense to expect me to then check the results profile and pretend I didn't see it. Having sites that implement search respect that setting means it would never appear for me. Sure some other user on a site that doesn't respect the setting might find it, but that is the case right now. If this gained critical mass, then sites that don't respect it would soon find themselves ostracised and subject to fediblock. And frankly I would have no problem with that.

@Jain@blob.cat @supakaity@blahaj.zone @ada@blahaj.zone @cody@misskey.codingneko.com Yeah, but all of the problems you outline EXIST NOW! Implementing these protocols will just make it easier for users to behave nice. Sure not all software will implement these things. So what? Does that mean none of us should? I don't see why not. Maybe its because I've seen how the 'standards' evolved on the web since I began programming it in 1994, but standards evolved out of attempts to unify competing implementations, not the other way around. Sometimes things need to be implemented first, as a proof of concept, and to demonstrate what is being attempted. Yes it can be a messy approach, but getting everyone to agree on it all before hand may mean it never gets done.

@supakaity @Jain@blob.cat @ada@blahaj.zone @cody@misskey.codingneko.com I also think it is a misunderstanding to think users will even need to be aware of this beyond selecting their preferences in personal settings. Once it is implemented and supported by Calckey, ALL updated Calckey instances will support it by default. Once other fediverse adds support to it, ALL updated instances of THAT software will support it be default. Getting Mastodon to add support for it will be the biggy, but once it does this will pretty much become a standard, and individual users will not really be able to bipass it unless they self-host and are prepared to hack the software, but given they'd likely be blocked once found out, it is hard to see why they would even bother to go to the effort.
