Understood, but my point stands: you are both more invested in this and have a thicker skin than myself; I trust you to weigh the alternatives and do what you believe is right. Anyone who doesn't (myself included) - well, they have lots of other options. I figure if you reach instance-blocking mode, they probably deserve it.
@Biggles I appreciate that, thank you.
If you upload the same image twice the back-end should be smart enough to know they are the same. But I dont know of any way currently to reuse an image in a post without reuploading.
@Biggles Its a bit more complicated than that. When you block instances it also can cause broken threads that really annoy people because if a "good" domain user replies to a "bad" domain user thread the thread is still broken. For this reason many people prefer not to block at all.

Yea, ill link ya when i get a chance. Happy to pay for serious contributions
Sadly no.. i have to build it out myself, or find someone I can pay to build it out.
I am biased like anyone else. The difference i went out to these events to get an accurate picture, i doubt you have.
Well the number of trolling hate based instances has just got too overwhelming for #QOTO to rely entierly on its users to suspend at this point. That said i dont want to force blocks on our user.
I am prioritizing sone sort of opt-out block system where we as admins can do server wide blocks but users can still opt out...
No your picture of 4 is more typical. My objection to your choice was more the blackface one in the middle which is atypical
@thatguyoverthere however you dice it your still talki g out of your ass from a place of bias and ignirance.
@realcaseyrollins @kekkerel @thatguyoverthere
Im not sure people protect themselves or their kids most of the time.
It wasnt the difference of tool, its the fact that the picture was obviously atypical and unlikely to be some arbitrary first result. When you showed the screenshot it cinfirmed it, you had a bunch of pictures and cherry picked, it wasnt the first result as you had claimed it to be.
I used google yes but also my own eyes. Unlike most people before i judge somethi g i tried to go and see it for myself first. I went and viewed a dozen or so of these story times so i coukd judge for myself. None of them were in line with the reality you try to push, a false reality that is either an intentional or unintentional lie, but clearly a lie.
@thatguyoverthere i said you lied because you said you picked the first result when you tried to show us how u biased your selection was. Then when you showed a screenshot where it was actually picked as the third option, arbitrarily picking the most questionable of the pictures presented to you.

Sure sounds like bitter jealousy. Am I hearing bitter jealousy?
I dont recall calling you dumb or dishonest.
No one thinks you are required to send your kid... just shut and stop trying to ruin it for the people who are enjoying it... least of all making nonsensical claims about pedophilia.
@thatguyoverthere right... you claimed they were coming for your children... so they made it a chant to mock you... you really dont get how that works huh? They were making fun of you, and your responding in exactly the way they were making fun of.
