Mike McHargueI like how on Mastodon the racists, trolls, misogynists, and right wing conspiracy theorists helpfully cluster themselves on servers together. When one hops in your mentions, a simple domain block stops them all with one tap.
@krisnelson@mike hmm, that’s a rather nice thing that I hadn’t really considered!
Chedim@mike I enjoy this as well, but isn't it the definition of information bubbles? Won't we pay for it later dearly when the two worlds will collide, like it happened with covid?
Simon@ook_simon @chedim Well said.
Joseph Kohlmann@mike Bonus for new folks: The /about pages on Mastodon instances may include a list of "Moderated Servers" (e.g. https://mastodon.social/about) and/or rules + a code of conduct (e.g. https://hci.social/about/more)
hci.social
This Mastodon instance is for the community of human-computer interaction researchers and practitioners. Mastodon is like Twitter but better because it’s open-source, decentralized, and federated. This instance is hosted on Google Cloud Platform servers, paid for by @Princeton HCI, and administered by @YuhanLiu, @nigini, @axz, @andresmh.

Greg Clarke@mike the server they're all on is called Twitter

@gregology @mike Reminder that Gab and Truth Social are mastodon forks/derivatives

Not QUITE that simple, but for most of us: yes.
For the rest, there need to be some improvements. And the rest of us need to listen to how those improvements might work, benefit others, and look for ways they could be circumvented. Not "it's already working for me, go away."
Your point was it's better here, I get that.
Mine is "It sure is, let's make sure it both stays that way and improves for everyone!"
Herbert@mike which servers are this?
@1worldvs1virus gosh there are dozens.

@namnatulco @mike ok thanks
⎯ΘωΘ⟶@mike which servers should i block straight away if i share your taste in social networks?
Flexo@mike i would argue that it would be better to keep it in your feed and to argument against the racists and so on. even if it is draining. the racists of this world are more powerful than they were for a long time. this is because they feel confident. this is because in the internet, nobody speaks out against them.
Ben Schattenberg@mike Thanks for the tip!

marius van dalen@mike I sure hope it will keep working this way. I am rather new here, exploring things and like what I see.
Austin Kocher, PhD 🌎@mike It’s amazing, isn’t it?
