@freemo On your interpretation: perhaps. I find it hard to get those subtleties via text interactions (and irl as well), so I try to assume the best until they are blunt about something. Seems to keep things on the rails, but it's hard at times.

@freemo Yeah he did seem to turn quickly. As a critique of the interaction, maybe this set him off, you seem to be implying he's being PA, whereas I *think* you were saying you appreciated that he wasn't being PA? I'm used to your style of communication, and I am still not sure.

"You are welcome. Best way to end a conversation you have nothing further to add to is simply by not speaking. Comes across a little passive aggressive otherwise."

@freemo Love when this happens...

@freemo @illandan

Hmm, I WAS talking about danger, specifically the threat of violence. The quote didn't really specify what caused that fear, so I didn't think it was true in this case.

I agree that some things that might get you scared aren't a reason to restrict someone else's freedom, but there are things that can get you scared that should. So the original quote just isn't true in all cases, It sounds good but it shaves a few too many corners.

It seems freedom from the threat of violence is included as a natural right (did some research), which makes sense to me. I you saying you don't think that is a natural right?

@freemo Aren't you violating my natural right to freewill and choice by coercing me to run via the fear of potential violence? This seems analogous to fraud, where the violation of one's rights isn't as obvious and getting e.g. bludgeoned. But it's still a violation.

@freemo I dunno causing someone intentional fear is not a protected right. There are specific laws against that kind of abuse.

@freemo Do you have a name for the company yet?

@freemo Congrats! Are you at liberty to disclose what you are working on? I gather from other posts something AI related, but that's about it.

@freemo @trinsec it’s an option I had not considered, but will try for a while. Ivory does a nice job overall in the way dedicated well written apps can sometimes do.

@freemo @trinsec That’s good to hear. I noticed the lack of edit a while back. But the latest ivory has a new explore tab that doesn’t even show up. Made me wonder about the server version.

I’m not sure what the plethora of features buy tbh. Many do strange things on other clients or don’t work at all. E.g. quote posts are usually stripped out on other clients, long posts can’t be made with other clients, math render doesn’t work at all even on qoto.org. Last time I tried them anyway.

@freemo @trinsec A fork is ok I guess if it keeps up with the feature set of the original. Currently I’m seeing reduced functionality in my preferred client (ivory) I am assuming because the servers are diverged. So it’s not keeping up afaict. Nothing critical yet but wondering if this will be an issue in the future.

@freemo Qoto.org is getting a little long in the tooth being apparently based on a mastodon version released in Oct 2020 (3.2.1). Any plans to update to a more recent base version?

@freemo I’m sure that political calculus is part of the strategy. Unless Bidens team is incompetent. Personal opinion, of that crew Haley seems like the worst case for the democrats.
