Why? That sounds so dumb to waste resources policing it.
- Mashimo 2y agoThey did not say they are policing it.
- Almondsetat 2y agoWhat is the point of disallowing without policing?
- rizky05 2y ago[dead]
- Mashimo 2y agoProbably same as most other social platforms. Selective enforcement, virtue signaling, a tool to use when they get bad press for a server.
- Almondsetat 2y agoI mean, bad press will chastise you even if you actually enforce stuff
- jisnsm 2y agoIt’s really fucking boring how every platform that hosts speech tries to nudge you in their direction these days.
- bilekas 2y agoI don't know why everyone think's they have a right to say and behave however they want using someone else's services. If the platform or provider don't want to associate with you, that's their prerogative. The hubris to assume otherwise is ridiculous.
- bryanhogan 2y agoNo platform can allow you to 100% say whatever you want, just how it has limit to what it can enforce. Every platforms has to balance this fact. It is impossible to enforce clear borders on this as well, as human interaction is endlessly complex.
- jisnsm 2y agoThey can allow you to 100% say whatever you want as long as the law allows them to host your speech. If they try to limit you beyond that, they are censoring you, which is what is occurring here.
- crtasm 2y agoAnyone that feels this type of moderation is censorship can use/host an instance with different rules.
- jasonlotito 2y agoWhy are you opposed to running your servers the way you want? Why do you support people that don't run your servers controlling what you can and cannot say?
- jeffhuys 2y agoWho determines what’s credible or not? This sounds like “if we don’t like what you have to say, you’re gone”.
- bilekas 2y agoAnd why is that a bad thing ? That's the free market. The business owns the platform and you don't have an innate 'right' to be there.
- weberer 2y agoWhy is it a good thing? What's the motivation behind it? It just seems like a really unnecessary restriction to have when you're trying to launch a FOSS alternative existing software.
- bilekas 2y agoIt’s a good thing because it gives companies autonomy to do what they want (within the law). It’s your responsabilità to take it or leave it. The alternative is an oligarchy type model where you are bound to the whims of some external party.
- jasonlotito 2y agoWhy are you opposed to running your servers the way you want? Why do you support people that don't run your servers controlling what you can and cannot say?
- alwayslikethis 2y agoThis sounds like a violation of freedom 0, if this extend to the software you run (self hosted).
- jasonlotito 2y agoThis is for content on Revolt.chat itself. You can download and host your own servers and allow people to lie all you want. But on the servers they control, they can decide what they allow. Why are you opposed to running your servers the way you want?
