@nicholas@prettygood I always wished there were a way for admins to manage server block lists on a user account level, to curate a default experience during onboarding, but then let each user review and selectively opt out of them in their settings somewhere. That would have been a realistic compromise. Fediblock just made the protocol feel completely broken. I think most of the block-happy types have migrated to Bluesky though, and this is best for everyone
@miyagiyoda@ryan For me blocking isn't necessarily spiteful at all, but it's very rarely used, and permanent, whereas muting is often temporary. There are several people I basically like but mute for weeks or months at a time and I like to be able to come back from that without their knowing or taking offense.
I will only block an account that is fundamentally of zero value to me, consistently bad faith, or other very specific scenarios. If I simply mute them I will eventually forget who they are and waste time unmuting them and paying for it later
@vic@ins0mniak@verita84 best to be on the offensive rather than defensive here. try whacking people over the head with your suitcase and playing it off as an accident. or at least their arm if you're feeling shy. most people are on their best behavior and wont even care
@dcc@nicholas@Mitsu@Hyperhidrosis On my Linux/X11 machine with awesome I can do anything on a single monitor no problem. On my company computer which is a Mac there is no sane workflow or unified API for creating your own so it has additional monitors as a necessary crutch for bad UX
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@hakui i feel like trying to rock ๐บ๐ฆ and ๐ต๐ธ at the same time is its own extra special level of retardation few things can compete against besides drooling all over absolutely everything constantly
> Nothing will be as annoying as that dream today.
That's the spirit. I love starting the day off with an annoying dream, like due to some technicality I have been forced to go back to high school. Then I wake up with the joy and determination of facing a day I know can never be as annoying as the dream I just experienced
@p@dcc@f0x@jae@pwm@sicp@dsm@sevvie@sysrq@ins0mniak@mint@Ergo@prettygood It may not be a popular opinion on here but I just see this as what happens when people don't have religion. If they are lucky they just get really into radios. Otherwise they either cut their dicks off or become white nationalists.
@sun@gabriel retarded takes like the one by this human redditor meme are basically my annual reminder to make a donation to the free software foundation
