@thor Its the lack of communication that is the issue. When you reach out to see what the problem is and address it they get offended you contacted them, its insane.
That said Calkey/firefish is particularly abusive and dishonest as things go... They fabricate reasons to block and the guy who runs it is very immature.
@rmerriam You have to use a group server for that, we support the group servers with special handling but the group itself is on the group server of choice. You can explore groups from the menu and see the list of various servers that have groups.
WOOT! My APRS-IS server is up and running... now to get the rest of the software up!
@pixeldespoir What method are you using to follow it exactly?

People keep posting screenshots of this article without context, so here’s the whole article. This sort of adaptation happens naturally when people move, you adapt to new hotter weather or new colder weather.

I assume you get why it's not a nice thing to say that "slavery helped black people in some ways" but I think some people miss why this particular idea is *exceptionally* racist.
One of the main arguments to justify slavery was that it "civilized" black people by making us Christian & teaching us obedience to our "betters." Black people were "lucky" or "better off" as slaves.
It assumes that when people were enslaved they had no skills, nothing to offer, that they were basically animals.
Saying "Slavery helped black people" sounds like saying "Rapists help women with their self-esteem".... The absurdity of such a statement is beyond me.
If I still had a dog she would probably be allowed on the furniture before you!
@girls_can Every ounce of pleasure must be paid with an equal measure of pain :)
I hope it heals up quick!
@oliphant Of the four corners that is, admittedly the best... Personally I'd argue the left-of-middle bottom is the only truly rational area of the compass.

@freemo @the_Effekt Love it. “This is an eX Twitter! If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up daisies!”
Im not sure if i agree on the resurgence of free speech.. but otherwise I agree. the Fediverse was ultra-sensative... some people who wanted more relaxed moderation moved in, they got attacked and "cancelled".. this in turn cause them to lash out by trolling, viscious cycle continues.
Sure... blocking is not a measure that will completely protect you from bad actors.. but it does go a long way to reduce most of the more casual harassment and thus make ones experience here more usable.
By not recommending one of the block lists that are abusive.. I can also always change my recomendation as needed if a better block list comes along.
Yup, many of our users would agree with you, partly because our server policies would attract people who feel the way you do. That said many have had the opposite opinion as you.. its a mixed bag. I think it largely depends on your opinions and ideology, yours are probably less of a target than others.
I have found blocking unmoderated instances do a pretty good job at significantly reducing the amount of harassment one experiences.
Thats a huge problem in fediverse blocklists too... I get it there are a lot of blocklists that are fairly abusive in how aggressive they are.
I also tried to recommend a block list that wasnt too aggressive or ideological... just the instances that obviously are more or less unmoderated.
