This is how you end up getting your instance #fediblocked and associated with the alt Fedi @kaia. You really don’t need to point out the obvious when it should be common sense, as anyone else is likely to take an adverse effect and subsequently go about kicking up shit over it.

@kaia @newt @scathach

How about 3.5?

@icedquinn @miscbrains

@raccoon never got the chance to mention them, as you immediately went back on what you said and banned my account without knowing exactly what happened. You just assumed that something bad did happen.

I can tell you definitively that I broke rule 9 by creating Hellthreads after being asked by @raccoon to stop. I haven’t engaged in hatespeech and joking about genderfluid only being semen and being vaginal secretion is orders of magnitude different from engaging in ongoing harassment toward targeted individuals for immutable traits they possess.

You shouldn’t have done as you did, but you got a pass from me and @raccoon as we understand you are going through a rough patch at the moment, which is why I’ve strayed on such good terms with you in spite of what happened.

It was a complete role reversal from when I was first banned where @dushman was the voice of reason over @raccoon much to my befuddlement. It was my hope that by focusing on getting the help you need, you can revisit what happened at a later date with a clearer mind and hopefully rectify the matter. It’s not too late to do just that if you are willing to reconsider your position.

@phnt

If you can bother @dushman and @raccoon enough to (un)delete my account, I promise I’ll never make another hellthread again.

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 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.

Cheese and onion is my favourite filler. 🥺

@susie @icedquinn

Why do you keep the list, though?

@icedquinn @hyolo @arcana @naaksit @sun

I can understand your aversion, though don’t you think that is a little sad though, at all?

I’ve been single for a while now myself, but I don’t loathe or covet what I don’t have. Instead, I make do with what I’ve got and work toward achieving anything else.

@icedquinn

There’s always Technology Connections.

@icedquinn

Try cutting out gooning from your life entirely and see how it goes.

@icedquinn

Just need to tell them you run Arch Linux, by the way, and then go into detail on your latest programming project, which language it is written in, your preferred IDE, the feature set and road-bumps encountered in developing them.

@icedquinn @raccoon @hyolo

Have you considered dating men instead?

@icedquinn @raccoon @hyolo

@dushman is my favourite pole.

The Linux kernel with Android is probably one of the more well known cases of a company using free software in a proprietary project. There’s also Microsoft using the GNU core utils on Windows to emulate a WLS2 environment.

@Suiseiseki

Not really. GPL licenced software is still getting lifted and implemented into proprietary projects without paying dividends back to the maintainers that are developing the underlying project.

That is to say nothing of people and their inability to separate their politics from the free and open source projects they participate in, giving rise to a gatekeeping and exclusionary environments through policies intended to promote diversity and inclusion.
