My Twitter feed, politically, is nearly active and on the correct side of history as my feed here on Mastodon
threads is the only one that's mostly on some bs

@beaware@social.beaware.liveI kinda hate how much my previous experiences have changed the way I behave.
Sometimes I think of a legit question to a post but can't write it in a way that doesn't seem contradictory to the post, so I just won't reply.
This is because many previous experiences tell me that replying in a way that seems even remotely contradictory, will get me nothing but insults and no actual answer to the question.
Also the fact that I've been blocked many times before (including by Fedi admins) without warning or discussion, leaves me thinking "is this something someone might have blocked me for in the past? And should I post it?" 🤦♂️
The amount of people who are hostile to simple replies is too damn high...😩

@beaware@social.beaware.liveEdit: thanks for the boosts everyone. Unfortunately I think it's not gonna do much good. The person running the account is showing how unknowledgeable they are and how they won't be answering actual questions by responding to a user from Pakistan who inquired about Fediverse by saying that Pakistan is poor, so there's not good enough infrastructure there. Which is obviously not the reason Meta hasn't turned the feature on there yet.😳I feel embarrassed FOR them at this point.
Oh well. It's really badly missed opportunity, as you don't get a 2nd first impression and unfortunately, they might be a Threads users first stop when searching....🤦♂️
Thanks anyway, everyone.😔
#Fediverse #Fedi #Threads #ActivityPub #Mastodon #Meta
@beaware@social.beaware.liveSLIGHT 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.
