re: Announcing the Oliphant Social BlocklistS (plural!)
@oliphant we are mostly in agreement about needing a good block list for most new servers..
What gets me is the very low quality choices on the council, nonrequirement for receipts or any way for users to effectively research blocks, and the fact that notorious instances like rage.love known to lie and manipulate to encoirage their block list on others, makes for a bad aggregate list.
Getting 50 servers on the council could potentially address the server, but if a list of 50 servers has the same poor quality members as the 10 you have now then you will have the same problem.
I think if you want to solve the problem then the solution is not to simply have more servers on the council but rather have criteria for what servers can be on the council. Id rather have 3 server council that has well maintained receipts and transparency around their receipt process than 100 servers all hand picked to look like rage.love with few receipts and a bad reputation for abusing their block list.
The best solution is to build a receipts database and ensure any participating server must have receipts on a block throuvh the receipts server in order for the bloxk to be calculated at all. At least then users of thr blocklist will have the tools to do their own due dilligance

No se... a lo mejor me equivoco pero... siempre he creído que un DIOS que AMA a sus "hijos/hijas" nunca mandaría quebrarle los dedos y las manos a alguien solo porque "opine diferente", digo... Yo NUNCA lo haría, y solo soy un humano común, supongo que Dios es infinitamente superior a mi, así que...

"Even after their employees proved they could work just fine away from the office, the country's old, white, male CEOs want to go back to the way things were. And the old way was clear: The office is for work, and the home is for — well, for whatever unpaid stuff it is that women do while their men are at work."

As long as members of congress continue to incite violence against all transgendered Americans with zero repercussions it will never stop. Hold them accountable for inciting violence against Americans!!

Amazon binds its sellers over to something called Most Favored Nation status. That means that sellers can't offer their goods more cheaply than they do on Amazon – even if it costs them (lots) less to sell in Target or direct from their websites. This means that every time a seller adds a dollar to their Amazon sale price, they have to add a dollar to the price of their goods everywhere else, too.

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
