@georgetakei So youd be ok if Trump got off on a plea deal too?
@rchrd Yup, all accurate.
But its important to note what works best for the mean is not the same as what is best for the individual.
If you must apply a standard for everyone, find the best in mean and go with it... but if you dont need to then find what is best for the person, regardless of the mean.. I have no doubt 10mm is the superior shot for some people (perhaps those better at handling recoil) and not the superior shot for others.
@admitsWrongIfProven No servers on the fediverse that I know of have that capability yet,
@admitsWrongIfProven so block by default, opt-in by choice.. yea i could support that
@admitsWrongIfProven what tools would you want?
Sorry that was for freeschool, or anyone asking for a pre-block
@admitsWrongIfProven @ceoln @freeschool @lucifargundam
On which grounds of our existing server rules should we block? If there isnt one what rules do you propose that would warrant us blocking?
@freemo Haha I’ve unintentionally left spent casings in the driver’s seat of a car I borrowed (they fell out of my front pocket). One time I had a hole in my pocket, casings fell through my pants leg and into my boot. Had to take the boot off and shake the casings out of it in front of people like a clown, but this was on a shooting range at least.
Meta (Facebook) discourse
To let eqch user decide for themselves if they wqnt their qccoubt seen by meta or not. Users can block the whole server when it goes live.
They are the users who choose to trust me with their digital freedoms. Thus "my users"... if your going to try to do mental gymnastics to turn that into something negative waste your time somewhere emse
And no i never said it is abuse to block a bad server, in fact i said i completely respect and am ok with you choosing that for your server, nothing wrong with blocking them, in fact id strongly encourage my users to bloxk them if they wish
Yes my users, the people who trust me not to abuse my powers over them, and who never gave me a reason to abuse it. Them...
I have plenty of qualms, which is why im not on their social media.. its simply not my place to force my iews on my users. They are responsible afults and can form their own opinions, and have historically they have made great choices in that regard.
As a user on twitter you have the choice to move servers, particularly if meta isnt blocked. So not useless at all.
Id argue no, it isnt the best tool for that. Shared instance block lists accomplish that at a user level while still giving the user the choice. So a much better tool imo.
I certainly wouldnt blame you for it, especially if your blocking them as a user. I personally would rather my users be able to decide for themselves.
No need to edit. I even agree that defederation ks not the way to handle it. Just say it does legitimately give them access to tons of your data thry couldnt get through the apis directly
There is no open api that would give them access to your dm, or follower only content. What do you mean?
