Yeah, no. If you're not going to put in the effort, then why should anyone else?

That's not my job, and that dismissive, terrible attitude is exactly why open source has such a bad reputation. When the people you're trying to recruit to use your service are saying there's a problem, saying, "Then you

I think you might need to get out of your bubble, if you think that most of these people are just "disagreeing". As for your example, she violated the ToS. They then changed their minds. I'm not seeing the grave injustice you

It doesn't. The question still stands.

Not reliably, and unless your followers are watching for it, they might miss it.

I completely and utterly disagree with your “work out fine” sentiment. It is embarrassing that something set up like Mastodon was from the beginning did not plan for people to move between instances from the start.

"there are people I disagree with also using this space" Claiming that is what people mean when they claim something is toxic is just as lazy, if not more so. And you’re basically saying that it’s on minority and underrepresented

How do my followers know to follow me to the new instance? How do they know it’s actually me?

Mastodon has literally no moderation tools. There is absolutely nothing to prevent impersonation or harassment.

Yeah, but I remember when the same thing was said about Diaspora. I remember when the same thing was said about various indie game consoles. I remember when the same thing was said about a whole bunch of social network alternatives that nev

“The big social media sites are in the process of evicting everyone who doesn't 100% agree with them” That is a flat-out lie, unless you disagree with the terms of service. Find me one person that was booted that wasn’t booted for viol

You might. Most others won’t.

I dunno, despite the supposed popularity of repealing the Affordable Care Act, the GOP, having control of all parts of the legislative process, couldn't get it done.

"If you feel really strongly about healthcare, why not emigrate to the UK?" I get paid better over here, and the weather in the UK is shit.

I guess when we decide to stop complaining about technically inept government, and start working for government and running for office ourselves.

And once again, you are putting the burden of reaching out on those who have been attacked. You are saying that those Damore said in his memo should be the ones to accept him, that those constantly attacked for committing the sin of not bei

I disagree. There's practically zero cost to writing "customers" instead of "list". The only time it really makes sense for it to be "list" is when you're writing generic methods that just know it&#x2

Because you were claiming that I was advocating for violence. The things you quoted? Those are the results of what you’re advocating for. If Google employees cannot decide not to associate with Damone after what he said, then they do not ha

So you're admitting you're not in favor of freedom of speech. Now we're just arguing over who you believe deserves protection, and how far that protection should go.
440.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
If you are saying that I should not be able to respond to someone else's speech, including a response of choosing not to associate with that person any longer, then you are saying that I should not have free speech. If you are saying t

"Yes, I am indeed arguing for speech that's free from consequences" Which boils down to you arguing that no one else should have free speech. "According to modern liberals, she should have faced the "consequences&qu

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Wrong. You're arguing that only the Damores of the world can express themselves, and no one else is allowed to express themselves in reaction to that. You're arguing not for free speech, but speech that's free from consequenc

That's entirely wrong; those politicians are still accountable to the voters.

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Sorry, but no. You're not arguing for free speech. You're arguing for speech without consequences, which basically means that Damore would have gotten free speech, but no one else would be able to choose to not associate or otherw

So then we need to allow spam links, in order to not be "censoring"?

"Morally, of course its wrong, but what's the alternative over the long term?" To not do it. Google has plenty of fucking money; they don't need all the money. "They would cede the market to a more accommodating com

False, censorship is done by states. Otherwise would you say that removing spam links from this comment section is "censorship"?
