Can't have any communication channels without 'safety'. The noose is tightening on the free and open internet.

- williamsmj 3y agoWhy do you need to be able to force people to listen to you for the internet to be "free and open"?
- porcoda 3y agoOh please: Letting a user block another user has nothing to do with a free and open internet. Save the anger for when there’s an actual threat to the internet, otherwise people will just start tuning free/open internet advocates out entirely.
- rightbyte 3y agoIt is quite bad really. One feature seem to be to single out users so they can't hear you in a group chat. To me that is highly toxic. Speaking behind someone's back, to everyone. It will be used for bullying of anything.
- mulr00ney 3y agoBizarre takeaway. AIM and MSN had the option to block people 20 years ago and I'm pretty sure IRC had it even before that. It's not a new concept.
