Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

LifeProTip: Water is a renewable resource. When you shower in many places, the water is removed from the lake, goes over your body, is processed at the sewage treatment plant, then is returned to the same lake it came out of.

Charles is our king, so theoretically he'd be able to stop anything like that.

We'd have to become a republic first.

Which I'm not opposed to.

I run several fediverse websites and I don't have a Facebook.

Sports stadiums were never really in my future.

One reason I sincerely wish lotide was a bit more advanced is it seems like the easiest of everything in the space to deploy by an order of magnitude.

I, for one, am happy to see people who couldn't keep a houseplant alive telling farmers what to grow and how.

The only people who are allowed to riot are their allies.

I mean, don't riot, rioting is stupid. But if you do riot, remember that only the establishment's shills are allowed to riot, so you're going to get the book thrown at you because you're only allowed to burn down cities for half a year in pursuit of establishment causes.

Lol "noooo you don't understand reddit admins were only supposed to be assholes to literal Nazis like people who don't vote exactly how I want them to!"

The good guys usually advocate for gas chambers for their enemies.

I'm making fun of the far left's propensity to pretend that all the disparate groups they pretend to stand behind are a unified bloc who all believe the same thing.

Same as when they pretend blacks as a group fully support LGBT, when by the numbers they're one of the group that support it the least.

Of course. I should have used more reddit catchphrases. :P

Yikes, can you believe this deep islamophobia existing in America? Like, it's 2023.

And for really trash software.

I paid for premiere, it was crashy garbage. Big mistake.

Really, 3d printing is a red herring.

I'm promising I won't moderate you for anything else willingly. If you fedpost so hard the RCMP gives me a call we'll cross that bridge when we cross it.

That's all thats come up so far. I'm not inclined to moderate at all if I can help it. Not a productive use of my time.

This isn't the first abuse of power by reddit admins, but many previous instances were called "good" because they were against "bad" people.

Much like the old poem out of "first they came for...", Every abuse of power is just another step towards it being used against you. People should have spoken up more earlier, but they did not speak up because they were not trade unionists.

The militar-they industrial complex

One of the benefits of the distributed nature of the fediverse is that different instances have different standards and so nobody needs the one universal standard to fit them perfectly. Some instances are locked down and while I don't agree with it, that's their freedom to do so and it's mine to moderate as lightly as I do. We can coexist in the same fediverse, even if that fediverse looks a lot different.

I'm not your dad -- it isn't my job to make sure you're not a jerk. I'm not going to stick my fingers into discussions. I grew up with no holds barred internet debate, it's halal.

You're not mine -- Don't break my toys. Most moderation actions I've ever taken are based on systemic risks such as spam or CP, because I don't want my toys broken.

Honestly, I had some reports about one of my users being mean to someone I like, and that's when I had to decide what to do about it. The only answer I could come up with was to say "If they're bothering you, block them". It's dangerous for me to start intervening in arguments like someone's dad.
