@ryo @hakui Won’t be there until sometime next year, so hopefully it’s finally blown over by then. If not, I’ll keep this in mind :)

@ryo @hakui Really? I thought there had been. Good to know :laughing_cirno:

@hakui @ryo Interesting. But not on public transportation and such? :thinking_cirno:

@hakui @ryo Japan got rid of the mask mandate? :thinking_cirno:

@hakui @neo @ryo I think I would have gone with dumbassery, but fair enough :thinking_cirno:

@hakui @neo @ryo Oh, well, that explains some things :thinking_cirno:

@hakui @neo @ryo To be honest, that whole instance and their “we’ll block anyone who even looks remotely “wrong” to us” just sounds like… fun

@Suzu @ryo @hakui @Freefromfall @neatchee I hesitate to use that particular word, as it’s value has already been substantially lowered these days, but the principle is solid

@Suzu @ryo @hakui @Freefromfall @neatchee That’s honestly a fair question. Though, I suppose the answer to which is also entirely defined by ones perspective

@hakui @ryo @Freefromfall @neatchee True :laughing_cirno:

@hakui @ryo @Freefromfall @neatchee True. Though the infinite nature of spacetime is somewhat debatable, no?

@hakui @ryo @Freefromfall @neatchee Generally speaking, no, though I wouldn’t presume to know such in this case as I have no information on the subject :thinking_cirno:

@neatchee @hakui @ryo @Freefromfall You do know they’re called jabs in lots of parts of the world, right?

@hakui @ryo @Freefromfall @neatchee Well, one can always hope, no? :thinking_cirno:

@Freefromfall @ryo @hakui @neatchee Up to a point that’s fair. Personally, I believe fragmentation of the fediverse is harmful to the overall goal. However, you are correct that a person could go elsewhere. From my perspective, for what that’s worth, it’s harmful to blanket ban instances and import mass block lists where the admin has little to no idea who generated the list, what criteria may have been used, whether those instances were truly bad in the first place and so on. To continue with mk.absturztau.be as an example, every interaction I’ve ever had with them has been nice and good. So, presuming you haven’t had a different direct experience with them, we’re back to them getting block based on nothing more than what amounts to a purity test and submission to an ideology of “guilt by association”. Is that fair? Is that right? Clearly for me, it isn’t. Of course, you’re free to run your instance however you like. I would just suggest that maybe actually investigating some of the blocks instead of just blindly importing them might be a good idea, you know?

@Freefromfall @ryo @hakui @neatchee Refusal to block an entire instance is not endorsement of the actions of members on that instance. My point remains. They’re being blocked merely for not conforming and submitting. Given it’s whoever owns it’s instance it’s their choice to make. It seems an unwise choice and merely following what the group think says, but again, their choice :thinking_cirno:

@neatchee @hakui @ryo @Freefromfall Just to clarify, you’re nuking one of the most laid back and nicest instances simply because they won’t bend the knee and defederate from people you believe they should. Not because they or their users did anything, but simply because they won’t do what you want them to do. What an.. interesting.. perspective. :thinking_cirno:
