I am talking about blocking other servers, not the rules internal to your own instance.

@McMongoose @coolboymew @tomey

@coolboymew

Yes, and where there are 20 new domains a day that you need to mute and people are hoping instances and bringing up small one-user domains those 3 seconds become a big load.. especially when most of us wont block a domain the moment a single person throws a fit. Its usually only after several incidents someone decides to block. So thats a lot of noise per-domain someone must endure before they silence that one domain, one domain among a great many needing blocking for some.

Like i said before I am not "blamming" anyone.. Fault is a rather pointless concept... I am mearly stating that free speech is an idea I support but supporting is starting to become technically difficult causing people to adopt a non-free speech approach as its the only option that allows the fediverse to be usable for most people.

@McMongoose @coolboymew @tomey

@coolboymew

Its not about that... users can do the blocking themselves (and for now thats how we do it)... but it becomes a full time job for most of our users blocking instances on their own that, without doing so, means the system is barely usable.

@McMongoose @Moon @tomey

@Moon

I run QOTO, an instance that strongly leans towards open federation, but locally doesnt allow free speech (our users will be banned for certain forms of speech, though we are rather forgiving in this regard).

While we do sometimes have valuable interactions from free speech instances the issue is the overwhelming majority of interaction is from them dog piling and trolling with overtly racist and aggressive attacks. It is often so bad you cant even use the service without blocking most free speech instances...

Blame who you want but even an instance like QOTO that wants to remain open is struggling to do so because it just makes the service unusable.

@McMongoose @coolboymew @tomey

@Moon

Ideas like fault is pointless. Its not about who is to blame and who is to not.

The fact of the matter is the freespeech section of the fediverse has went out of their way to attack and abuse people who federate with them to the point that it is very hard to take a freespeech stance and still be appealing to most people.

@McMongoose @coolboymew @tomey

@coolboymew

Seems most of the fediverse have dug their feet in on that already. Sadly the freespeech instances have done everything in their power to convince people not to adopt that side of the fence.

@McMongoose @Moon @tomey

well... time to bring up an aprs-is server.. should be easy, doesnt even use a database.

@ElemWiz It really did

The beer one I can 100% agree with, nothing but bigotry. Less so, but I do tend to agree somewhat on Little Mermaid. I mean, I do get the need for accuracy against the book, and she is white there. Moreover it just makes logical sense (a species evolved out of the sun would be white). But it isnt super critical to the story so I dont really get why its a big deal other than bigotry.

Barbie I havent seen much comments on either way, so I have no opinion.

@freepeoplesfreepress I loved it too, I agree... They made fun of their script and how cliche it was, sot hey were aware. Which is probably the only reason I can find it more funny and less cringe in the first place.

@tokyo_0

Yes we have the full-text search feature enabled. But that comes disabled but easily turned on in all mastodon instances (unlike our other features which are truly unique).

@youronlyone

@skyblond Honestly if a part breaks in a laptop I dont even bother trying to fix it most of the time.

@skyblond one thing i hate about laptops is they tend to slow down over time since dust is harder to clean and there is a smaller space for it to accumulate in.

Not sure if that is relevant here though, just my first thought.

LOL a classic

God the cliche language in Stargate SG-1 is a bit cringe but I still love it.

This thing you call...

The one they call....

@rmerriam Flukes are great. They are the apple of electronics equipment... expensive, but good quality.

@youronlyone

FYI QOTO has 65K character limit not to mention a few dozen extra features no other instance has :)

Websites hosted from the #QOTO 's gitlab, specifically the SSL certs, are back up. If you have an expired cert you may need to delete the cert and request a new one though your project's page settings. Let me know if anyone needs help.
