CiaraEvery time a newcomer posts an introduction and somebody tells them they shouldn’t have joined Mastodon.social and need to move to a different server, an angel loses their wings.

Annika Backstrom@johnlorimer @CiaraNi It's impossible to effectively moderate such a huge server, so you have this catch-22 where the server is a vector for spam and harassment, but can be seen as "too big to block" because such a large percentage of the network lives there.
Overall it's bad for the health of the Fediverse, so some block it regardless and advocate for folks moving off and the server closing registrations.

@annika @johnlorimer @CiaraNi End user should be moderating what they see. They shouldn’t have anyone telli g them what they can or can’t look at. Defats the entire purpose. Looks like spam? Block it. Racist motherfucker? Block it. It’s not hard… the tools are right there. Fuck the nanny shit. Let people do what they want, ignore those you don’t like. To enforce your will is tyranny, to accept is slavery.
@Unabart this position was stupid 5 years ago and now it's just indefensible. Please consider shutting up.
@annika lol. 5 years ago. It’s got a calendar! I don’t have to defend shit. Don’t like it? You know what to do! (I think)
@Unabart Don't worry, I will. Just wanted you to see it first.
@annika Still don’t give a fuck. Go away.
