Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

@dani@wandering.shop No, thanks for asking :)
And of course the intensity of the effect does vary between people - "a feeling of intense discomfort" seems to be the most common response, but I've seen at least a few cases of people who actually felt sick from it.
@dani@wandering.shop Very summarized: the 'uncanny valley' effect causes adverse reactions in many people, up to and including a physiological experience of sickness.

if someone migrates accounts it should carry over my show/hide boosts setting for that user, elephant man please fix this immediately
@lydia@hellsite.site Yeah, what's *with* that, that's something I've noticed too... sometimes it doesn't even forbid transphobia
@monroeonyx mastodon.art might fit what you're looking for?
@james@strangeobject.space Didn't they have multiple moderators/admins though?

re: meta
@pandora_parrot @Juju The point of contention more seems to be the "stop spoiling it" rule than the "will not ban people for playing it" part, fwiw

I hope one day people learn that it is possible to apologize, grow, and move on- rather than double down on any and all criticism as if your humanity is on the line for being wrong.

I hope people remember which companies are laying people off the next time they consider donating their labor to certain open source projects
mastodon dot lol meta, suicide mention
Addendum: "it is completely unacceptable to tell people to kill themselves" and "those comments were made because of distress" can both be true at the same time.
It's important to recognize that those comments aren't automatically proof of Nathan being "evil" - but it also doesn't relieve him of responsibility for making them.
@akai you're one of them IMO :3

@meave@toot.site One of those events that tell you a lot about other people
re: internet suspicion, meta
@nasamuffin@tech.lgbt I doubt it's related, honestly.
Defederation has always been a thing to some degree, and a unifying factor among many of the newly-defederated instances is that they were set up by someone completely new to fedi who hadn't really learned what the cultural expectations are here.
So you get a lot of new instances with inexperienced (and often understaffed) moderation teams, that try to scale really quickly because that's what people are used to from VC-operated platforms, and then explode in a fireball when that goes wrong a few months later.
So I think it's more that "Russian troll farms" and "exploding instances" have a shared cause; that massive sudden influx of users from Twitter that was difficult for the existing community to help integrate.
Kindly CW your Rowling-related toots, thank you
@denebeim I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The admin made no attempt to learn from this and grow; had he done so, I expect that the response would have been very different.
