@EubieDrew any reasonable hour israel time works
@JoshuaACasey I would tend to agree with you there.. the more you isolate them and the less you try to correct their behavior the more you fuel it.
So if the whole argument is that being able to see radicalized propaganda will make people radicalized, and thus is wrong to allow people to see it... does that work both ways.. If you are "radicalized" towards good and taking doing and treating people good to an extreme, then shouldnt the bad radicalized people turn into good radicalized people by that same exposure to good?
The logic doesnt really add up for me, but regardless this is not the reason why we have open federation as many of you know, but it does show a flaw in their logic.
@BobKerns Agreed
@freemo I have some empathy for the situation Eugen finds himself in, but caving to Nazis is never a good idea (not to mention, never the ethical choice).
QOTO is different than mas.to which runs mastodon, we are a fork wioth more features. Sadly even though we had hashtag follows **years** before mastodon fedilab only suypports it on mastodon right now, where its a fairly new feature.
You can follow hashtags fromt he web interface if you wish (which is better than fedilab IMO).
That said we will pull inn some of code from vanilla mastodon soon and when we do this feature will work with fedilab.
@EubieDrew relate how exactly.. im too tired to follow all of it, might need a reread tomorrow.
@serenebabe Yes of course. Usually people are included in replies by default. But ill make it a point to remove you in any ongoing conversation in this thread.
If others continue to comment and bother you you can also mute the thread.
I'd be happy to look into a way to do this, it sounds important and it really hit home for me. I forget to add descriptions a lot and I know I will try not to forget int he future.
@RabBrucesSpider1 @bekieark@mastodon.world
I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.
@ceoln Sometimes tthe answer is right in front of our face.
@ceoln It is a person whom subscribes to you.
@anthropoid@101010.pl
Sure.. i have a first draft, after i go over it a bit ill share and look for more feedback to refine it.
@sp6ina Im writing up a proposal. I can share it with you when its ready for more eyes... in the meantime just help spread the word about the problems.
On a personal note, there have always been a handful of super radicalized servers on both sides that have large block lists... that describes anyone who blocks us... they are almost entierly toxic and looking for a fight. The types of servers that block us are the kind that it is a GOOD thing because otherwise it just welcomes abuse.
Any server you move to will eventually be blocked by these same servers. If you manage not to get pblocked you will at the very least be walled in with them and not see any of the bulk of the Fediverse by that point.
