@Joshuamcvey what would you like a deeper dive on, maybe i can help either explain or point you to some resources
@Joshuamcvey depends how you want to learn about it... we have tons of posts discussing it, links to historic posts... block lists with threads discussing it, our own forum discussing a few blocks and issues... but no one single place.
@MetabolitesByMS Great to have you here!
@bibliolater Anytime
@bibliolater yes following a group is perfectly fine of course.. a bot just means you are using a script to post automatically to your account.
@bibliolater Not that I know of, but you shouldnt use a bot to autofollow or anything that might seem rude.. just use common sense.
I really like that the complete peer review is now available for everyone to look at: https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41592-022-01669-y/MediaObjects/41592_2022_1669_MOESM3_ESM.pdf
People from the Other Place.
This tool will find the Mast accounts of your Other Place followers/followees. The other one I've seen only finds people who cross post, this finds them ALL
@freemo
It's helpful to learn some of the history about this, thanks!

I do find it more than a little telling that of all the people complaining not a single one has reported an actual post of concern however...

@wouldinotcallmyselfahumanbeing
There is no doubt it is a subjective process. I dont claim to have an objective solution and its one reason there is some room for interpritationn. In the end the only way to know where we stannd is tto see our timeline and moderation practices and judge for yourself ifg it is good or bad.

We basically use freespeech to meann "You cann talk about things without being scared you will get in trouble so long as your making a reasonable effort to be respectful and kind"
It is intended to be a counter to toxic environments where they constantly hear "dog whistles" that dont actually exist and ban you for things you never did but people assumed you would do anyway.
Basically, unless you truely and obviously are a piece of shit you will be welcome... Inn some ways it might be better to just say "non-toxic" but that doesnt really work as well.
@georgetakei have a wonderful trip!

Nope, no hard thinking needed, my vote woukd be easy, i suspect so woukd the others. We just never faced the issue before.
Also the constitution has nothibg to do with this.
