That's just nuts. As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm glad I started just before all this instead of starting at one of these others, coming across it, asking questions, then getting myself banned and having to tell @freemo, "This is all your fault, you jerk! May I join your instance please?"
ER... Please don't ban me for saying that, @freemo... I'm just kidding, kinda? 😉
Actually I'd pass it on in good humor and be polite about the transfer, but just as I tease my wife about shooting me in the back (accidentally) on Minecraft, I'd never stop ribbing him about getting me banned.
Hey, your opportunity!
That is what fediblock was supposed to be and failed... but my own solution has some good parallels, specifically a place for discussion as you describe, but with a bit more formalization to it.
I have a similar, but I feel better, solution in the works.. I already have a writeup on it and several people on board. It will not be centralized but is in a similar vein.
Perhaps @darnell@darnell.day will want to get involved so we dont double down efforts.
It is made in a few places and requires editing the source code directly.. its been a while so I'd have to find it again.
@jsoriano I notice its only cooler where the moss/grass is actually at, the surrounding pavement temperature isnt much cooler past about an inch away... So what im hearing is we would have to replace the pavement with grass... That would be nice but a maintaince nightmare sadl;y.
Hey @trinsec and @barefootstache you two remember if we have a notes feature somewhere?
@flsounds you can send via venmo if youd like, I also have paypal.. looking into setting up other options.
The quote you just provided and link agreed with everything I said, and yes I read the case.
Extreme advocations of murder is hate speech... logical things arent.
Lets stick to examples that arent easily classified if we want to make that point, I agree, there are some areas that might need debate... but most of the time its pretty cut and dry, I rarely see subtle people on the internet :)
@admitsWrongIfProven its a truely important topic that i happen to be the central example for I guess
@Romaq tons of them in some cases yes... i was just on the phone with someone telling me about how they keep getting banned for asking about it.
@trinsec local feeds, whole servers are talking about us.
