100% agree with you but he probably found a way to weasel his way out of unfair treatment with bribes and he is just trying to farm empathy points by lying.

Also I am still a bit on the fence about how to treat people who have clearly broken the social contract. He is a person who believes that women should be denied many rights given to men. In such a situation it is not unfair to expect that he is not entitled to enjoy the rights of the contract he clearly violates. The only fact that keeps me advocating for this is that I know such treatment in prisons effect everyone irregardless of their crime. But in an ideal situation where only people like Tate was subjected to these treatments I would be 100% ok. Unfortunately such a world can not exist and I have to then defend the rights of this stupid asshole.

    Innocent until proven guilty yes, prisoners should be treated with dignity yes. But you are a lying piece of scum so I don't believe a word you are saying. Not to say I don't believe these don't happen in prisons, I do believe they happen. But I don't believe it is happening to you, you probably found a way to weasel your way out of unfair treatment in the prison with bribes.

    Also one another note, you broke the social contract so you are not allowed to complain about it.

    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?

    I am not advocating for ban lists

    It wasn't politically motivated tho it was 'toxic people'

    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...

    Seems like this could be a software rather than an OS? And given my interest in experimenting with local models I would actually try it if it was a software but changing my current distro just to try this is too much of a hassle. So I might instead just try to replicate it manually.

    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.

    It is not the worst possible thing but shadow banning via a client is quite ridiculous, even more so when politically motivated. I won't even get into how funny it is to have even less of a tolerance for political variety than lemmy.ml.

    If you really want to circle jerk, that is what instances are for where what is tolerated and what is not is much more transparent.
