@RickiTarr I'm French. It's 60% cultural and 60% personal preferences, with some conflict between the two.

@freeschool @gabriel thanks for sharing.
It's an interesting topic as I only recently realized the brilliance of the free association between Fediverse servers. I imagine that as big servers join in, they'll get blocked if they don't have good moderation. They tend to have low standards when it comes to advertising and spam, so I expect Threads and other for-profit entities to get blocked by servers populated by people like me. Blocking 99% of the populace who loves their ads will feel elitist and lonely but won't be worse than the current state of affairs.

@freeschool @gabriel something's broken, I can't play this (tried Chrome and Firefox, desktop Linux editions). I can play other recordings fine (e.g. https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111917865466599020).
@MartinShadok I see you use proper typography. Nice.
@freemo tell me you like blood without telling me you like blood
@freeschool I was referring to those Mastodon servers that block some servers only because they don't block some other servers. For example, mastodon.art blocks qoto.org under such a pretext (https://mastodon.art/about). It's terrifying.
Jesus incarnates the hypocrisy of highlighting the virtuous aspects of a religion while sweeping the dark practices under the rug.
@gregeganSF you should ask the machine how confident it is that its answer is correct. It's a popular question in the world of mushroom identification for the table.
@iddux don't read the Wikipedia article about Leonard Nimoy's interpretation of "If I Had a Hammer".
@henkka @lowqualityfacts he meant "factist", of course. It's all a big misunderstanding.
