You walked a thin line between non-normie and wackadoo, but never crossed it :)

@freemo @flamingkeys Haha why thank you!

I would just say we are a mix of everybody. normies will be a majority, and are, but we got one or two non-normies and even maybe a wackadoo or two :)
@flamingkeys@fosstodon.org
Blahahahaha,you just called us a normies.. hehe.. ok I'll allow it.
It is funny though because I call other people normies all the times, first time I have been on the receiving end of that one.

@flamingkeys I don’t think there’s anything wrong with normies being on the #Fediverse. There are quite a few on mstdn.social and #QOTO, they ain’t hurting nobody.
@realcaseyrollins It already overtook twitter. There are only about a dozen humans still posting to twitter, the rest are bots.
Sure.. hey look cooking fresh is definately better because you can do things raw or close to raw, plus its just going to taste better. But my overall point is, prepossessed food is not going to make a significant health difference for most people presuming your picking healthy foods, which often you may not be if its processed too much.
@freemo
> I think youll find needing to cook them longer wont make a huge difference. The vast majority of the nutrients are likely lost early on in the cooking process. Any additional cooking wont make as big a difference.
seems to be right, with the exception of cooking in the microwave (which is imho under appreciated):

> I havent found any evidence to suggest there is an adapting issue here either. Most of the "chemicals" we use, as you point out, are just extracted from natural ingredients anyway. Those that arent havent really been shown to have any health effects.
i was more thinking of the amounts here, which tend to be added in bigger quantities than naturally occurring.
I wouldnt go that far... you could probably figure it out without too much difficulty. Would save you a lot of time too.
If you want i could probably do it quicker for you as a moderator then you can manually.
youll have to install python at a minimum... might need a hand if you never worked with a python script. Be careful.
Next time please blur out the word windows on your posts. We have little children here and we dont want to encourage bad life choices.
Look into mastodon.py - it doesn't provide exactly what you're asking for, but it exposes the tools you'd need to script a solution yourself.
@DavidBond Thanks, thats the balance we are going for, we doint want our users to be scared they will get blocked if they say something unpopular but otherwise polite.. but at the same time we dont want people throwing swastikas around and being assholes for the sake of assholes. I think we struck a better balance in that regard than I would have thought possible.
In fact I rarely need to moderate, as everyone tends to be polite enough from the start just by being around a no-drama environment.
@freemo so far QOTO is easily the best instance on the fediverse imo.
Good size, isnt blocked by many instances, well moderated
@DavidBond i know you can delete your account, which takes the posts with it. But I dont think you can delete just the posts. You'd have to delete your account then reclaim it then your posts would be wiped.
They are freedom of speech, which despite any ugliness that attracts is something I am cool with.
Sadly I've found a LOT of the people from poast, as with most free speech servers, are completely unbearable. Luckily i can just ignore them on a user by user basis.
