@mur2501 What thread did you see to instigate this post?

@mur2501 5 years ago when we decided not to defederate at the request of our lgbtq community who would monitor bad-actors for their safety

@mur2501 lol

@BeyondTheSwineAge

There is no doubt a lot of ignorance... problem is I've seen just as much ignorance from users that have been here for years.

@TEG

@TEG Wanting it implemented makes sense, I agree there... What baffles me is all this talk about how to implement it, opt-in, opt-out... the standard is already defined, there isnt much to debate IMO just implement it if you want it.

@thor how do they get presents ont he 24th, when is santa claimed to come?

@TEG It has nothing to do with the size of the servers even... the vast majority of fediverse software supports it out of the box. mastodon vanilla is really the only major exception.

@mur2501 true

@thor In that case that is true of everywhere.. Even in the USA christmas eve is the day you celebrate christmas day you relax and maybe hang out with friends.

@thor wait, there are countries where christmas is on the 24th?

I find it a bit concerning how mastodon talks about their software and new features as if they exist in a vaccum. They talk about implementing a QT feature and forcing people to opt-in or not... Meanwhile the rest of the fediverse has had the QT feature since forever, including modified mastodon instances. We already have a standard, no you cant force opt-in.. .either implement it or dont, you cant force other software to block a feature just because you on your server didnt "opt-in". Its literally equivelant to a link to the original post...

@TEG The QT feature is already implemented and widely used. It just isnt in gargron's version of the code.. it already is not an opt-in or opt-out thing... anyone who is on a server with the feature can do it.

It is also literally equivelant to putting a link at the end of a post, so its kinda silly people are arguing about this at all.

QOTO, a mastodon flavor, has had this feature for many years now.

As someone who gets his psychology advice from social media this is very useful to know. Thank you.

@trinsec I think those are just called smart people.

@trinsec NORth American aerospace Defense .... DUH

@trinsec North American Aerospace Defense Command .. the guys who track actual military airspace. They are the only people with the radar tech to track something as small as santa.

@obi Smart one you got there.

A jewish friend tried to lie to me today and tell me santa doesnt exist... WHO EATS THE COOKIES AND MILK!!!! He clearly had no idea what he was talking about... Even norad tracks him!

In my head cannon Family matters is a seaqual to Die Hard and take place in the same universe . Sgt Powell from Die Hard changes his name and moves to hide after the events of Die Hard in witness protection and becoming Carl Winslow letting him continue to work in the police force.
