@mdhughes Oh, I get it. What you're describing is the "I am very smart" of Java developers. You're the kind of person who will throw code at a problem thinking everyone is looking at it and sees how smart you are. But I'll come in and delete it all, long after you left to go write Haskell in a Buddhist temple in the Himalayas, that no one will ever pay you for. My commit will have 500 lines removed, 0 lines added. Eventually we'll do a rewrite anyway just to get away from the turd you dropped.

@mdhughes I see reflection all the time, and it's never necessary. I'm not sure what you're saying though. That only non drones use reflection, and that drones like me just, like, don't get it, man?

@mdhughes You're using reflection for some FizzBuzz problem. That's what Java drones do. They're smart, but don't know enough to know that using reflection is wrong. And they use reflection everywhere, in the most inappropriate circumstances. As another drone, it's very annoying to work with their code.

@Lady_Star_Gem Keep having those drag queen story hours, that will show them.

@RobynCaplan Robyn did you hear what Trump said about Hillary? He said, he was like..."lock her up". It was crazy. Did you hear about that?

@QasimRashid Are you talking about V for Vendetta? It's just a movie, man.

@aral Fascists and bigots can have their own servers. Just blocking them isn't good enough if they're still allowed to exist. See kiwifarms. That's what the people you're talking to want. Complete removal. Which is at odds with the way mastodon works.

@stux Because they don't want to simply block, they don't want anyone else to see the people they don't like also. The point is to deplatform those they don't like. It's like the kiwifarms thing. They want people they don't like to be removed entirely. Mastodon doesn't work like that, fundamentally, which is going to be a problem.
