@tokyo_0 Because where does the entitlement come that they owes it to anyone to do it their way. Just create your own server with some other people that feel the same way you do. People with these high demands need to do something themselves if they want to see change.

I'm not against what you are saying, but this "somebody else needs to meet our needs" is a centralized service hangover. That mentality needs to go. Do it yourself. Be the change you want.

@tokyo_0 Email is a whole other thing. Emails aren't public to those not on the send list.

@tokyo_0 Right on. I'm all for people using this platform how they see fit. Expectations are fine, but the majority of these instances aren't for profit, so nobody is owed anything, so people need to understand that and make their own place.

@tokyo_0 Yeah, this is a decentralized service. The instances have zero to do with each other other than sharing information. I don’t see this changing unless you run your own instance. Things would have to be centralized in moderation for what you want to work and nobody would ever agree on the rules.

Create a server and wall it off from servers you don’t like. That’s the only way really.

@tokyo_0 That’s how Twitter was until very recently when they required everyone to be logged in to see tweets. That said, Mastodon is a different beast since it is decentralized. You can block or get somebody banned and they can just crest an account somewhere else or even create their own server.

I also admit I don’t understand how people become targeted. I’ve been targeted by alt-right people many of times, but as soon as you stop engaging with them their amoeba like brains don’t get…

@tokyo_0 the food it needs so they move on.

Since most of these instances are a labor of love that are paid for out of pocket, just create an instance for the community that wants to block threads. Mastodon and all the instances isn’t a multi-billion dollar corporation. I get not everyone has the cash, but somebody that shares those feelings do for sure.

@tokyo_0 I don’t get the concern over scraping. You don’t need to be federated to scrape. You can access every toot on most instances without even an account. Locking them down breaks a lot of the usefulness of searching other instances etc. If your concern is scraping the Fedipact won’t stop that. Here is your toot being viewed without being signed in via a browser:

@tokyo_0 I would get the 7a. Then you can install Mastodon apps on your phone!😃 As much as I hate smartphones, it would be hard to go back to a feature phone now.

Have you ever had a smart phone?

Looks like #AI got closer to the truth of what gaming with your parents was actually like in the 80's. #retrogaming #80s

@tokyo_0 Yikes!? I can't believe NPR would allow that.
