@ralf Es wird zwei Fediversen geben. Der Teil, der die globale Diskussionsplattform sein will und der "Wohnzimmer Teil" mit seinen ganzen kleinen Hausmeistern.
Was tue ich (auch auf einer Instanz, die threads blocken wird) als normaler Nutzer der keine Zeit / Lust hat seine eigene Instanz zu betreiben? Einfach auf Mastodon.social wechseln? Oder gleich zu threads?
they have always made clear that they're gonna protect their userbase from harrasement and the majority of their users agree to that
they don't hurt the fediverse, they're just doing for what decntralized networks were designed for
if i proactively block out bad actors from my homepage, i don't hurt the internet either i just try to let people have a nice, uninterrupted experience browsing my website
their users are always free to leave and move to another server if they don't agree with their governing decisions
a fedi sever is not a political entity, they can do whatever they want with it, they are free to let their users participate in descision or not
besides; they always announce and reason their decisions transparantely
ps: it's not about just another fediserver
it's about a big tech actor who's reputation of data abuse is so bad and so long, i'm happy if the whole fedi shuts it off
it's a clear exception in the whole "preemptive block" discussion
otherwise, i'm always against it, but in this case it's an act to defend the fediverse
what kind of reason ist that?!
it also outperforms twitter relevance
it also outperforms any moderation when nazi groups can run free
btw: FOMO threats don't work in the fedi, most people here just want to have a good time and share some thoughts with likeminded people
threads is an active threat to that
that's why, in this case, i don't see a problem with preemptive blocks on instance level
nope
meta or threads respectively is not just another fedi server created by enthusiasts
it comes from a multi-billion (billion!) corporation which does everything it does for money and to eliminate competition
one competitor just imploded by stupidity and incompetence but zuck is a fucking smart business predator
he doesn't embrace the fedi, he wants control, he wants more users to sell more data
thats exactly the purpose of decentralized things -> DE-central, it says it right there in the word
there's never been THE fediverse, it was always A fediverse or SOME fediverse
or do you know or have contact to any of the asian servers?
THE fediverse is just a protocol, free to use in anyway you like and free to anyone to approve or disapprove on how you use it
i don't understand why people find it so hard to comprehend the concept of something that doesn't have a central authority
it will always end in fragmentation - always!
oh and btw: censorship only applies to political actors - if a political actor prohibits things you can say, that's censorship
if you tell me to shut up, that's your personal right to do so to protect your private safespace
@ralf Talking about moderation β¦ I just tried to create an Instagram account for the first time. Right after signing up, my account was suspended because I violated the community guidelines. I did not even click anywhere, just logged in. The message also helps me by showing me my options: I can go to court if I don't like it.
Edit: I can also request a review. Still β¦
