@five well. This is definitely rough around the edges but I guess I should have expected that. Also Mastodon is not very catchy but maybe people can get over that. I've been thinking about a decentralized twitter for a while so I'm surprised it took me a year to find
@five also... part C. is fucking unbelievable haha. Let's just throw some other non-violent non-discriminatory ideologies that the makers of mastodon don't like in there, too!!
@Brenner haha... you're about to open a can of worms you don't want to open lmao. tldr the subjectivity makes me uneasy too but ultimately this isn't OUR instance -- it's the community and culture @Gargron wants. We should be good guests until we have our own instance that's a bit more liberal :)
@Gargron there was considerable drama around that point last night. An acquaintance who arrived via my invite was... caught off guard by the visibility in the main feed, and then was less than gracious about how people received it @Brenner
@five @Gargron ahhhhh. I'm started to understand the instance thing a bit better now. Will have to read the /about page a bit more and get a better full picture. I like the idea of the different communities. Have thought about it being split out by topics
@Brenner a little earlier @Gargron posted an "unofficial FAQ" that's very useful in picking up on the local culture
@five @Brenner sorry, are you suggesting that national socialism is a non-violent non-discriminatory ideology? 😐
@Gargron no! don't mind us, we're just aspies who can't help but imagine the edge cases where well-meaning rules go wrong. I was here last night, I saw this is a sensitive topic around here. This is your place, your rules, it's cool :) @Brenner
@Brenner to us, the inclusion of C with seemingly the same prominence / severity as A is amusing. I can't explain why. We can't help it and mean no harm, honest. And we'll happily abide by them. @Gargron
@five @Gargron @Brenner I'm just going to state this and I apologize if it's redundant, but perhaps it would help to clarify that the shortened name for "National Socialism" is "Nazism"

@Brenner @five for a comparison of other server rules do check out social.guhnoo.org

maybe you can find something you like better there

@biwazimayui read further in the thread :slight_smile: @Brenner just arrived and is still learning how this federated stuff works :kissing_smiling_eyes:

@five @biwazimayui finally checking out social.guhnoo.org.

holy moly it's almost like it's ugly on purpose.

omg why are most in php...

this is so confusing. I can see your tweets (refuse to use the word toot) from Mastodon but clicking them bring me back here...

@biwazimayui @five clicking on that link doesn't work lol but I will have the attitude that this is just an MVP until it gains more traction. I was gonna say "or has some way to fund itself" but realized that could be never
