Chris Trottier🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨
Be aware: mastodon.lol is shutting down.
If you're on that instance, migrate your account RIGHT NOW!
The admin of mastodon.lol is @nathan
He's having a meltdown right now.
Whatever the hell is going on -- and I don't know exactly what's going on -- this isn't a worthwhile response to anything.
So @nathan's decision to shut down mastodon.lol stems from an argument in this thread.
Things escalated.
And now 18K Mastodon users will need to migrate their accounts.
This isn't fun -- but at least you can migrate 😒
Nathan 🏳️🌈 (@[email protected])
Already been called an antisemite and a transphobe lol Yeah why not, I'm Hitler, I'll go shoot myself, gg
Hey instance admins, now is the time to tell people that your community is open for migration!
Please give mastodon.lol users a new home!
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@atomicpoet also, instance admins, now is the time to talk to someone if you're having a bad day or bad week or a bad month and you need help, or a hug, or some cash for the server, or someone to pick up moderation, etc.
Samir Al-Battran@rysiek @atomicpoet
honestly I think moderation is a problem on Mastodon
Some mods take it too far, and some users ask mods of too much.
I must admit though it's ridiculous what's being asked of Nathan here.
There is no uniform expectations of what the rules mean, each mod can interpret the rules differently.
We need federated code of conduct, and mods can pick which one applies to their instance.

arkywarky@rysiek @Samir @atomicpoet dude how long have u been on fedi. It works. What you’re describing is stupid, and serves no purpose lol. Ask any fedi veteran.
@arcade oh man, I checked out the profile, and take a load of the company:
"Optimize with AI: Visualize and listen with smarter scheduling, management & analytics, all-in-one."
Blocking, don't need this anywhere near my tl.
@rysiek @atomicpoet yeahhhhhh it's tools for corporations to monetize fedi, it sucks.
@arcade @atomicpoet yup, combined with complete lack of understanding of consent:

@[email protected] I am sorry, but this is an absurd argument a) Consent is giving once you publish something publicly, this is the internet b) All services I have seen link to original post c) No it doesn't, most people consume the original content d) Most developers build these for free, on their own time and eat up the data/hosting cost. That's how free software is built (like the one you're on now), I built a tool 12 years ago that was free, still free and only started charging for extra tools
