@trinsec Admittedly, I'm not just talking to you, I figured that would be something interesting to add to my feed too, lol.

I'm aware the EFF ruffled someone's feathers for... Uh... Being principled about protecting the Internet, rather than taking extreme measures to take down one specific unpleasant site.

That's kind of the reason they exist though (and they appear to have come up with alternate avenues which might help tackle this class of problem in the general).

@trinsec To start with though, "propaganda" posits that there is some shadowy person with shadowy scheme out there. This is in stark opposition to the far more mundane explanation of people standing up for their own rights.

Or I suppose, women embracing a higher quality of life, rather than being strictly controlled about what they can do and wear.

So, you're kind of going to get some craziness there, or that's my opinion. I can't really comment that much on this one.

@trinsec Once you're paranoid enough to pass a "propaganda" law, you're just looking for shadows in everything, I guess?

It's like those dictators who were worried about women wearing shorts or jeans or something, I can't recall exactly, because it might spread "Western influence".

I suppose "propaganda" is also very vague, if it's due to some law, although it could be just as cultural.

@olives@qoto.org Crazy.. they could ban anything in any color because it's a fucking rainbow.

In fairness, the discourse around this used to be worse but has gradually gotten better over time. One even got Eugen confused with John McAfee at one point...

Is Eugen into hot jungle pursuits now?

Paraphrased:

"The discovery tools on Mastodon are so bad."

"Mastodon network."

"search"

"Mastodon GmBH need to do something about their servers." (This is worse because it assumes Eugen owns every server.)

Take a drink every time someone talks as if Mastodon is the entire fediverse. Actually, don't, or you might end up in hospital.

I have to go back to watching this anime or reading the light novel. The list. It's so long...

I wouldn't be surprised if on some of these instances, someone wouldn't start talking about anime porn, but instead of getting to the point, they'll talk about all the wholesome aspects and a tangentially connected to the activities plot.

Puritans are freakin weird.

Conversing about the poll. One of my friends tells me that it's still not free speech unless there is all the free speech, lol.

Well, with one round of fediverse, uh, let's call it research, done, I suppose I can do others.

@lucifargundam I see, interesting. Maybe, I'll watch it, if I don't have anything else to watch then.

Those Mormons belong to the infamous anti-porn and extreme right wing pressure group MiM :)

I reboost the porn science stuff around about every time I see misinfo surrounding it spreading somewhere.

It's not exactly out of the blue (or not always, lol).

I'm getting a fair bit of positive attention with my post about puritanism, so I've reboosted it. I wasn't going to (or for a while) initially.

@lucifargundam I have quite a few things to watch / read on my list, so unless there is something quite distinctive about it, it's unlikely to rank that highly, even if it is interesting.
