It wasn't politically motivated tho it was 'toxic people' that were shadow banned you know "be awesome or else" right? That is how vibe modding works it's fundamental to the fediverse experience.

This was a small step forward if you only have a problem with this but not all the steps that lead us here then you are pushing an agenda using the perceived political motivations, or you are just dumb.

    toxic=people who don't agree with me isn't a very mature approach though is it? In my opinion what is fundamental to the fediverse is being able to discuss with people you don't completely agree with. It is the more centralized social media platforms that repeatedly push content you like so that you get addicted to your echo chambers. If you don't like your ideas being challenged I would suggest such places.

    I am not advocating for ban lists. It's that I understand how the fediverse works it's rife with censorship this is just oh_no_my_tribe these people don't care about censorship when it is against their enemies.

    I don't know, you seem rather supportive for someone who doesn't advocate it.

    In any case there is a world of difference between ban lists of instances and ban lists of an app. The latter is something one step shy of a centralized ban list for fediverse. Also ban lists in instances at least try to revolve around a set of rules (whether or not they succeed is another issue and will change from instance to instance), where as this one is just single person's "don't like this person because he didn't agree with me" list imposed without any information or whatsoever on end users. It also doesn't help with the optics that it looks hand curated...

    I don’t know

    Yes, you don't.

    where as this one is just single person’s “don’t like this person because he didn’t agree with me” list imposed without any information or whatsoever on end users

    It is evidently not politically motivated it is "toxicity". Yes that is subjective to the individual but you don't have a problem with "be awesome or else" being used to maintain your safe space do you? And yea shadow banning people is part of the game here you are benefitting from it right now.

    The fact that one facist tribe wacked another facist tribe with their goofy censor stick is just comedy.

    Someone with a very distorted view of toxicity calls it the list of toxic people doesn't make it in reality not politically motivated. It has the same rationale as a kid getting angry and starting to throw a tantrum after losing a game in the playground. I think this person's farewell message with an embedded ddos attack pretty much sums it up.

    Apps shouldn't assume the role of all seeing moderators for the whole fediverse. I don't think I will again comment on difference of ban lists for instances vs apps, let alone an extensive one hand curated by a single individual.

    I don't even see what your comment about awesomeness eludes to. You seem to be trying to point at a particular message without actually doing it. Care to elaborate?

    You really don't know do you? Good step asking what I am talking about but be careful inferring your own bullshit. "Be awesome or else" is a common rule on political leaning subs it is used to ban anyone that is "toxic". It's great that we agree on these things being bad, but when you are benefitting from them while criticising someone else you are just a bit of a fuckwit right?

    Like I said one facist tribe bonked another facist tribe with their goofy censor stick, and then bam double wammy ddos by searching lol.

    Wow you are taking this discussion really personally, are you per chance one of AdmiralPatricks alt accounts? If not consider applying for the role.

    You make alot of deductions about me benefitting from such bans when you seem to be the only side in this conversation who can't keep a cool head and try really hard (and rather immaturely) to project a vacous image of superiority. This is exactly the kind of mentality that curates a rage ban list lol.

    I love drama because it inevitably brings out people who want to be middle of the road about everything, and you can look back and see how that works in practice for every other opinion.

    It's telling on yourself in a fantastic sort of way.

    Yes I don't see the world as black and white instead as grey I am not going to sidestep my morals for a political agenda. Thanks for the compliment.

    It's a real shame you thought this was an insult it's very... telling.

    You thought I was insulting you, no I'm just pointing out what it looks like to be held up by a cylinder of jello that represents what in other people is a backbone!

    How insulting!
