@rysiek newer options can be opened up if the mastodon software is updated to introduce an actual user level "block server" functionality. Right now the user level "block server" option performs hide instead of block.

Users on Camp Twitter servers will be free to block servers from their content, while users on Camp small communities will be able to add servers to their user level server whitelist (subjected to the server level server blocks, which can be compulsory or whitelist-able).

@mike "You will own nothing and be happy."

If they can force one to rent the thin client machine used to connect to the OS, I'm pretty sure they will.

First the software (relatively trivial because it's digital), next bait some people into renting things to normalise it, then lobby the government to make it illegal for people to own things.

@posiputt yeah, words can sometimes be misused/used wrongly technically, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

I remember getting mildly annoyed when the fast food restaurant cashier asked (probably required by their boss though) whether I wanted a medium or large drink. Small! I want a small.

@posiputt I may be wrong, but this phrase means something like "wanting to both have one's cake stay unchanged and to eat it too" - an impossible situation. So by default of inaction, one would have one's cake, but suffer the agony of not being able to eat it without consequently losing it (not having it).

A more straightforward way is to say that one wants mutually exclusive choices, which is impossible. It's easy to see from an observer point of view, but when one is mired in desires, it cannot be clearly seen, or there is a willful disregard for logic.
