I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.
If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?
- Comment on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, claims Human Rights Watch. 10 months ago:
No. I advocated for people that imbeciles call nazis to not be excluded from society. There is a significant difference, but if you live inside a bubble, like some fediverse serverse, you might be so brain washed that you think everybody who thinks a little bit different from you is a nazi. They're not.

Grow up. It is not possible for you to hide from the real world. The suppression of opinion in the fediverse is real. You admit so yourself two comments above. You call them nazis and evil, which is childish and unproductive. Have you considered communicating with those with different opinions instead of attempting to ban them from participation in society?

trusted to act in good faith
You are not acting in good faith when you are arguing that your members should be blocked from communicating with anybody on Meta servers, because of guilt by association. What you don't allow on your particular instances has great bearing, because it shows that you are no different from them, other than in which opinions you consider to be worthy of suppressing.

I am not claiming that there's no censorship in the fediverse. I'm claiming that there is censorship, meaning that the fact that Meta also uses censorship is no argument against them. You censor people you call nazis, they censor people who think three generations of occupation in Palestine is a bad thing. Both have problems. This piece of news about Meta censorship is not an argument against federation.
- Comment on Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, claims Human Rights Watch. 10 months ago:
Because we are not censorship happy pieces of shit. We judge every statement for what it is, rather than applying guilt by association in three steps.
Most people who want to block Meta from the fediverse want to do it because they want to block people's opinions and statements from reaching them. They want the fediverse to be a "safe space" (a term which thankfully has lost most of its momentum in the last few years) where no dissenting or nuanced opinion is welcome. Somehow you're trying to turn Meta's similar behavior into an argument against them, even though it's an example of both organizations doing similar things (prohibiting unwanted opinions).
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 10 months ago:
Everywhere else, red means stop and green means go. Here, the creator has chosen to reverse that to emphasize that they consider blocking to be good and allowing people to connect to be bad.
No attention is needed for the instances that are marked with red. They are federating.

What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.

If my broadcaster blocks the news segments they don't want me to see, it is. That's what's happening here. Instance owners are taking it upon themselves to block content from users. Bullying pieces of shit are trying to strong arm instance owners into defederating.
- Comment on YSK: All social and cultural groups are diverse and hold people of many different views 11 months ago:
I find it very interesting that every single one of your examples is in defense of a woke practice being criticized.
YSK that trying to police other people's language is one of the clearest and easiest way to turn the general public against your cause, no matter how well intended it is.

Seemingly not.

Well, you are here, participating in a discussion about Max subscriptions. It does seem like you do care.

And then you're going to whine and cry when they cancel your favourite shows?

- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
They had that in parts of Europe for a year now as a trial. But they are discontinuing it this month, making us choose between ads, and lots of YouTube premium crap we don't want.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
"Everything should be free. Content producers should get no money. TV shows, movies and entertainment should appear out of thin air, be great, and never be cancelled."
Or maybe you should grow up?
- Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it. 1 year ago:
Because there is no useful replacement. The people I want to follow are nowhere else. When major news sources left Twitter, they left to nowhere except their own websites. The end result is that I don't really keep up with the news anymore.

An application for every website. Each "focusing on the content". All that does is move the browsing to the OS.

- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Have you considered accepting that you're wrong on this? It's not a personal disaster to realize that just because you didn't personally see the impact, there was none. Instead of sticking to what you thought, you might learn insights. Perhaps they can be valuable when analyzing the current bubbles.

Are you maybe too young to know people who were actually working at the time. Obviously the life of a high schooler wasn't very affected.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Good for you. But perhaps fuck off, because some of us lost jobs, homes, and financial stability.
