Star Trek over Star Wars here, that's how Trek I am. But boy, does the Stargate SG-1 main musical theme grab you right from the start with sweet promises of interplanetary adventures and ever let go. I could watch ten episodes in a row of this silly fantasy pleasure 🍿 😎

SLIGHT rant about how Nostr works and comparing it to BlueSky, Fedi, and other platforms in terms of moderation.
Well, I just learned a bit about Nostr.
It's basically "Bluesky, but FOSS". You have your account that has more control of moderation for the user.
The difference is that on Nostr nobody can "ban" per se because nobody has control over each other. It's block and mute. That's your moderation and you do it yourself. Nobody does it for you, unlike Fedi or BlueSky.
I gotta say, that's where a lot of you really need to go to have your eyes opened to what the Fediverse is really like for those of us on single user instances and the sheer amount of work unpaid moderators and admins do here to keep these instances as "nasty shit free" as they can.
Awhile back I kept seeing things like "Other platforms have moderation issues, there's CP and all kinds of other nasty stuff there".
There's all that here too, you're just privileged to have people with massive amounts of passion for this place and do the unpaid work to block and remove all that shit.
If you actually had any control in what you're allowed to see or not see, it can end up being the wild west for all things bad. Which is okay for those who don't mind blocking and muting endlessly (What Fediverse unpaid mods and admins do every day), but I'd bet a lot of you won't want to do that because it sounds HARD and potentially gross and traumatic.
So, whenever you think "that other platform is bad because their moderation sucks". Maybe, just maybe, think about if you would want to sit there all day looking at nasty shit like CP and other sexual crimes/hate speech/scams/etc. and have a little sympathy for the actual people who do. Because it sucks and it does exist here, you just don't see it.

If anyone had ever wondered why I followed @sassycrass (RIP) over on Twitter* here’s just one reminder from back in 2022: Another Mask Incident
*That’s a Trick Question - I can’t imagine anyone wondering that.

Demo on an old house is like digging into old code. "Who put this sheet of formica here and what for? Why so many screws? Where does this electrical go?" #demoday
