More proof the same happening elsewhere.

Would've added to your point, but I'd be preaching to the choir for the most part. I hold the absolutist belief that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of who they are or their walk of life.

If fascism is something that should be wholly eradicated then that should also apply to other extreme ideologies. Not a lot of people seem to feel this way and no better has that been exemplified than in the Nix community and more recently the 'Free' Desktop community with #hyprland.

The whole reason I made my previous post about #hyprland had been because I've been noticing a trend lately amongst free and open source software adjacent communities.

I don't really consider the "dark fediverse" to be intrinsically rightwing, so much as it is a medium through which you are expected to moderate your own experience on the fediverse without relying on your instance admin to filter out the unsavoury elements for you.

@Hoss@shitpost.cloud is a great example of someone who can post about numerous topics of interest one moment and then make an antisemitic remark the next. Such is the duality of the fediverse. It is ultimately left to your discretion with whom you associate with and adjust accordingly. Another example I can give is of the thriving queer community on the 'alt fedi' that isn't part of the Mastosphere. They've probably been thrown every insult under the sun, yet they persist nonetheless. That is because they have chosen to curate their experience on the fediverse by distancing themselves from problematic people and instances while federating with those that align with their shared hobbies and interests. That is how you'll end up with people that selectively interact with friends and acquaintances from the 'alt fedi' while avoiding most of the egregious instances known for spewing nothing but revilement and vitriol.


The Mastosphere on the other hand is known for their sweeping fediblocks on all manner of instances for anything remotely offensive to the point of being libel. The result is a pre-Musk Twitteresque echo chamber that is inorganically sanitary. Any 'wrong' opinions, political or otherwise may result in your account being marked to have reduced visibility. This includes removal from Mastodon discovery and your posts being restricted to unlisted only, which previously happened to me in one such instance. The way that people migrated over from Twitter and have used Mastodon as a drop-in replacement for Twitter is not something that a lot of people in the fediverse at large appreciate, nor are their attempts at trying to police the fediverse through a unified blocklist. That is the reason you'll often find people like myself on the 'alt fedi' as our side of the iron curtain affords a greater degree of freedom in the range of our speech and expression.

Dear @Tij@boymoder.biz,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently became aware of an implication that I am affiliated with a federal agency, and I feel compelled to address this misunderstanding promptly.

Let me unequivocally state that I am not a federal agent nor do I have any association with any federal agency. While I understand the curiosity surrounding such matters, I assure you that any insinuation suggesting otherwise is entirely unfounded.

As a student pursuing Cybersecurity, I value transparency and integrity in all aspects of my field. Any claims suggesting otherwise not only misrepresent me but also undermine the trust and credibility I have been trying to diligently build over the years.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. I am more than willing to clarify any misconceptions and provide assurance regarding my professional affiliations.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
@Falaichte

This is the reason why I have my posts set to follower-only. Free Speech doesn't exist in the United Kingdom and you can get arrested unironically for thought crimes.

If I pique your interest, feel free to throw a follow my way to see the rest of my posts.

They just need to see one of my posts on an instance they use and then I'll end up getting arrested over a meet tweet like so many people have before me. That's why I've decided to make the majority of my posts follower-only, just to limit the range of my federation while not compromising on functionality.

@dushman

This is why.

People that have had their tonsils removed, what has life been like without them?

#askfedi #askfediverse

Disregard the following post, raccoon.quest is an adequately moderated instance that has just recently revised their code of conduct to account for problematic behaviour on the instance.

Anyone echo chamber instances are encouraged to #fediblock us at your earliest convenience, we won't curtail our freedom of speech and expression to ensure everyone is comfortable, that's what the block function is for.

Our instance owner @raccoon has assured us that they will strive to strike a healthy balance that is both inclusive and tolerant of other people and their views while ensuring that genuine instances of targeted harassment are appropriately addressed.

Feel free to boost to help increase the visibility of the post. Consider it our community notice to dispel any misinformation.
