@Suiseiseki @alex contractual terms are not always enforceable, especially if they are illegal. For example you can't sign away your life or become a slave in many countries.

@alex surely there are legal consequences if one's spouse is suddenly disappeared by a third party

@Sherri_Ingrey I'm a generally available male, I think

@tk now, try "transwomen are men" on mastodon.

Looking for a fedi instance that does not let a minority of authoritarians dictate the speech of everyone else.

@Suiseiseki what does C-S-l do? Yes, mandatory nonfree js is one of the main reasons for me to switch to tor for a site.

ptv.vic.gov.au is now hiding behind cloudflare, which blocks all tor traffic, great.

#Melbourne

Just noticed that github got worse. Now I can't even see the readme displayed at a project main page without nonfree javascript.

South Australian Upper House will vote on the Nordic Model in February - looks like there's a good chance it will pass.

More on the Nordic Model:
https://www.catwa.org.au/the-nordic-model/

Nordic Model vs full decriminalisation is like free software vs open source. Proponents of Nordic model (resp. free software) view prostitution (resp. nonfree software) as inherently oppressive. Opponents view "sex work" (resp. "closed source") as ok.

#FreeSoftware

@heyd
proponents of Nordic Model:
- prostitution is inherently unjust
- aim to eliminate prostitution
opponents of Nordic Model / proponents of full decriminalisation:
- "sex work" is fine

proponents of free software movement:
- nonfree software is inherently unjust
- aim to eliminate nonfree software
opponents of free software movement / proponents of open source:
- "closed source software" is fine

Does that make sense?

@Suiseiseki that would require the year of gnu/linux on the desktop first

@Suiseiseki what happened?

@Suiseiseki ah, I guess you mean this https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Boot-Drops-Non-Free-Bits

In hindsight, the RMS cancellation was but one attempted woke colonisation in the broader context. Thankfully the FSF held the line and stayed focused on its core mission, unlike SFC or FSFE which have both become (stayed?) woke. It is important that charities stay on its core mission and avoid taking sides on unrelated politics.

@Suiseiseki what are the advantages of gnu social over pleroma?

@Suiseiseki yup, pleroma and soapbox exist

@Suiseiseki it is sad that the official mastodon instance is managed so badly with crazy censorship.

@Suiseiseki I see. I'd consider any instance blindly copying mastodon.social's block list to be bad, boring or misguided.

Was your instance suspended recently? Did they give an explanation apart from "hate speech" cited on their site?

@Suiseiseki I'm guessing mastodon.social is the blocker and I was asking about the blocked instance (if you don't mind answering). From my personal experience mastodon.social has awful moderation. They suspended me remotely for no reason.
