@realcaseyrollins free speech is about choice, not making people listen to you, and not censoring you from people who want to hear you... its about choice to say what you want and hear what you want.... so we agree on basically.
@realcaseyrollins Agreed. Similarly I dont mind mastodon instances having server-level blacklists, but I do feel users should have the option of opting out of any server suspensions in place, just as they can add their own personal suspensions to the list.
Censorship isnt censorship unless someone else is enforcing it on you.
@realcaseyrollins True, though in an ideal world (The legal world isnt always ideal) it would be the user who bypassed the block who is responsible, not the server which put reasonable protections in place to identify and make clear the fact that the server had inappropriate content.
@realcaseyrollins Pleroma sounds like a nice platform. I need to experiment with it again soon.
@realcaseyrollins yea the plain FE is a killer for me too, but knowing there are other frontends fixes that well enough id imagine (havent used it to really say but seems like it would)
@realcaseyrollins I was under the impression you could make it the default... that sounds like something that wouldnt be all that hard to hack to be honest.
@realcaseyrollins yea, even is a code edit it would be easy I would think, so not sure why they dont.
(Or at least that's how it works on #Mastodon, I think #Pleroma actually just loads remote images and media from the instance rather than pulling it all and downloading it first)
