Ayo join the club buddy! !thrashmetal@lemmy.world. Nice to find a metalhead out in the wild. (Sorry for the shameless plug ;) ).

Yeah, I can totally see how that could be an issue. You’re right, my bad. Just wondering if there is any way to truly beat censorship if this is the case?

But the point is, you have freedom to choose whatever instance and thus whatever level of moderation you want. I’m not saying censorship is impossible here, that’s just not the argument. The thing is, you aren’t locked in to the control of a specific group/owner/company. If you don’t like the way things are being run, skip to somewhere else, or alternatively make your own instance.

For people who value freedom the most, you can choose a platform with less moderation, and thereby accepting the risks that come with it. For people who value a more safe, stable and curated platform, choose one with more/stricter moderation.

Yes. The fediverse is a pretty difficult thing to be controlled by a single group: that’s sorta the idea. I see it as almost a refuge from all the bullshit. The lack of ads, tracking, content farming, censorship and control etc is refreshing. Here’s to hoping the fediverse continues to spread.

Dude, so many memories.

I too am angry, but not really sure what this would acheive.

Just because you see no value in it, doesn’t mean it’s garbage.

Chasm: The Rift would be really nice, thanks, if no-one else has claimed it!

Well he is called chuckleslord for a reason.

Another thing to add to the google graveyard.

Sounds pretty fun, might give it a try someday.

Well… Isn’t that ironic?

Why do you think they aren’t paying for it?
