When looking at the poll about wanting to see an instance with free expression (but minus mean shitposters), keep in mind that the typical number of voters a poll gets is like ten.
So, it's a bit of support but it says a certain amount.

@askDNA I'm rather doubtful of that 😏
Well, even if not British, that one spends a lot of time in Cambridge lobbying the British Government.
I still remember a couple of the leaders (who are Mormons) of that extreme group (one I think British and one American) recounting what allegedly led to them wanting to ban porn.
They were abroad in some country in Europe, doing work for the Church, when they saw someone reading a magazine with someone being sexy on it.
They were outraged that such a magazine could be allowed to exist and they vowed from that day forth that they would rid the world of it.
It's all crazy.
@wststreet My stance there was actually probably harsh, because I wasn't in a particularly good mood, and I apologize for that.
I felt rather betrayed as they seemed nice enough, I much like the prospect of making friends, that is why I emphasized that part.
@wststreet Context and experience.
I've seen people like that before, particularly on that cursed bird site. Nonsensical "concerns" and harassment.
@wststreet Sorry if I bothered you there.
Puritanism causes mass shootings.
Sometimes, I ruffle a few (although, never too many) feathers when I hold puritans to account.
It's not something I enjoy doing. In fact it can be the very opposite, particularly when I am disappointed in someone I quite like.
In fact, sometimes, the more annoyed I am, the more I like someone and I feel betrayed, and I've dealt with a certain amount of bullshit on this Internet.
Puritanical ideologies tend to be abusive in nature and coercive. The boundaries of what are indecent also have a tendency of shifting.
Puritanism is associated with psychological harms, hateful ideologies (in particular, angry ideologies), human rights violations, and other negative things.
So, to me, it is kind of a big deal. Perhaps, puritans are silly, however, it is not *merely* that they are silly.
It is also useful to consider that puritanism is not always stereotypically obvious.
In fact, one infamous right wing group (which used to blame gay people for mass shootings not that long ago), run by Mormons, started speaking the language of "feminism" to try to promote it.
New language. Same ideology. Just as flawed.
It was this group which was responsible for Steam removing all kinds of sexual content. It was this group who was responsible for Reddit doing so. It was this group which is partially behind these "age verification" proposals in legislatures.
@wststreet *buddy buddy* Alright, that language is a wee bit harsh, but this is the Internet. That is the line in the sand I decided to draw.
It's a lot like sitting by while a bunch of shitposters think it's fun to dogpile someone after they sit there ridiculing this group or that group for a period of time.
I've seen this show. I've seen how it ends.
In any case, this is my business, not yours. I don't have a particular problem with you.
@wststreet I hate self-righteous people, people who go to be all buddy buddy with such people, and above all, hypocrisy while being judgemental. Also, this network doesn't have "remove follower" (I did it momentarily).
It's like the people who complain about "fanservice", and abuse whoever does like that, then they spend all their time going out of their way to watch shows which contain that. It's annoying.
I don't want to interact with people like that, so that post should suffice in sending such a message.
Puritan: There's a whole genre tailored towards presumably horny teenage boys. I've gone out of my way to watch it. There are so many boobs bouncing around, why, why, why.
ffs
Puritanism is one thing which I tend to draw the line over when deciding who to spend time talking to (remember that time itself is a resource).
There is just no point in talking to someone who has such archaic values.
@vini Blocked. I'm not terribly interested in being friends with a puritan who is scared of anime which contain nudity (a lot of them).
@askDNA I think there'd be a bit too much nudity for your liking. I understand you guys are prudes.
