@GasBag@amerika@wjmaggos@p@Moon the problem with that is it doesn't transfer power to fedi's answer to a reddit mod. Sort of like the relationship between nuclear power and ecomentalists.
@wjmaggos@amerika@p@Moon > that doesn't solve the problem for the people who will stop using the service if they see that regularly from different accounts.
How is this anyone's problem but theirs? You're quite right about sensitive users -- a lot of us came here to get away from them.
The rest of the centralized internet caters to them, so they're not missing out on anything except being triggered by people who've decided the lowest common denominator is no longer the deciding factor.
@amerika@wjmaggos@p@Moon i don't think it's appropriate to make a distinction because what black people want is no more relevant than what white or Chinese people want when it comes to the use of language and freedom of expression.
@wjmaggos@p@Moon@realcaseyrollins the kernel idea you argue for is that someone should be policing other people's expressions and regulating them.
The arguments vary, the metaphors are tortured in new and interesting ways, but the trajectory is always towards, "some of us should control all of us because of some of us."
The "us" is of course you so, "my definition of asshole / unacceptable should be the law."
@GasBag tangent to the discussion, i was thinking: we set up a proxy: justiceagendasocial.com where AIs automagically mirror our accounts, and translate all of our posts into commiese. Sort of No Agenda Social with a Spock beard and Borg implants.
But it kind of shows the weakness of the bus/church metaphor.
OTOH, you could search out trans lives matter t-shirts or pride pendants and point them out to your friends, you know, subway style. Stealing their phones and wallets would be akin to doxing them, depending on what you did with it.
@wjmaggos@realcaseyrollins@p@Moon also, how would reality provide less anonymity? If you get on the bus, and there are people on already, how do you know from where they boarded? Bus metaphor is a-okay. 👌
@wjmaggos@realcaseyrollins@p@Moon your metaphor is insipid and obtusely abstracted from whatever point you were trying to make with it, so it's shit-equal to me bus.
the gay person (a reality of some of humanity) gets on the city bus (the reality of humanity), but is then in the realm with people who got on after attending the Westboro church (the reality of some of humanity.)
Is church is a new concept for you? Like instances, churches will deal with it differently: an Amish church would very likely just take the abuse quietly and carry on, while our parish wouldn't suffer fools like that.
If you have open registration, it's as public as a church with the same abilities to boot people.
@wjmaggos@realcaseyrollins@p@Moon this is an insipid metaphor. What gay would not know to stay clear of Westboro? Do they hide the anti-gayness until a gay joins? Would gays want a gay who was dumb enough to come in through the back of the Westboro wardrobe?
