i asked: > what do you think they were implying? …because in the previous comment you felt confident enough to answer for them. you said: > No, they weren't saying that. is asking what you think they meant unreasonable?

nonsense. if an organization chooses not to use its voice to spread misinformation, thats not censorship. is it censorship when my weather app _chooses_ not to say it’s snowing when it’s 103 out? that’s absurd. one of the links posted above

i wasn't asking for subtext, i was asking so it would be clear and _not_ vagueness. i asked specifically so we could remove subtext.

when considering the context from above, what do you think they were implying?

you can change any twitter link to nitter.net (or any of the mirrors) and it will display the tweet, media, and replies. it’s been super useful for people who don’t have a twitter account or for people who don’t want to feed the twitter bea

im trying to understand what is being argued here. the person i responded to said it was a fact that "a chorus of coastal media types" are "asking for people they disagree with to be prevented from speaking in any public foru

neither of these at all show that a "...chorus of coastal media types..." (still waiting for an honest definition of this) are "...asking for people they disagree with to be prevented from speaking in any public forum."

could you expand on this a bit?

> Then the phone, then TV… doesn’t the FCC heavily limit broadcast television and radio who and what behaviors are tolerated? like very heavily, no? and aren’t there limitations on what you can and can’t do with a telephone?

i’m not sure why this would be the only option you come to. it’s much more likely that folks are concerned because the populism wishes to destroy pluralism.

oh my apologies, i meant the feed and replies. i figured most people would be able to deduce this—my fault for not being more specific. the replies to tweets are now a heap of trash replies from trash fascists, racists, trolls, bots, etc…

srsly. how about they take small fraction of the often ridiculous out-of-place special effects budget and put it towards giving us good audio. like, just because you can do special effects doesn’t mean you need to jam them in literally ev

i’ll echo the sibling comment that my twitter feed has gotten significantly more abusive and troll comments than before.

if you’re not trying to have your posts heard by the public, then why would you be concerned who mastodon.art is federated with? wouldn’t you just join there and enjoy the specific community… > I’m not trying to build a general audience

not sure why they’re downvoting you, what you said is absolutely accurate.

does twitter have this problem solved?

> …doesn’t seem to go far enough on the axis to address major issues that Twitter has. e.g. you still don’t “own” your content. it goes much further than twitter does—unlike twitter, you can spin up your own server and you are now in con

this is a really nice reply. sometimes in the too often contrarian comment sections, it’s jarring to see someone’s comment recognize the human being on the other end. it’s inspiring. i’m not the op, but your comment was kinda rad. thanks.

this reeks of something we see so often recently. implying there is a “panic” or a “hysteria” when there just isn’t. are there occasionally people who say this is something which may upend art? of course. but is there a “panic”? the people

yeah, no moderation is just spam bots talking to other spam bots. edit: the author specified below that moderation is on the to-do list, they’re hoping someone with moderation ideas will help with implementation later—it just hasn’t been ad
