Gosh, if Mastodon does nothing but piss off both Nazis and Tech Bros, then it'll already have been worth it.

Mastodon is what happens when technology is in the hands of minorities, who have waited way too long for other people to fix this shit, and just said "fuck it we are the cool kids in this place now and y'all Nazis can fuck off".

@kunev Kinda doesn't work if you post the image normally without NSFW tag. CW alone doesn't hide it! ^^

@aircooledcafe Yea, you have to manually tag it NSFW as well. Like in this test here.

@Alda@witches.town @NaHO@witches.town Haha that is golden :joy:

@lanthus People are writing about this precisely *because* it is apparently not obvious to many folks, teaching them.

If everyone says what they'd like CW'd, this can help change the culture towards more CWs, making the whole place more inclusive even of people who cannot handle certain information at all times.

You sound kinda aggressively against this, what exactly irks you about it?

@stonehippo You cannot solve impersonation, but what you can solve is whether new instances not just get federated, but whether your toots even reach those new instances at all. (Especially old ones)

@stonehippo Thanks for writing that. On the level of "how can we fix things", perhaps you would like to weight in on the issue I opened about configuring where your toots can end up at? https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/983

@envgen Maybe you wanna join into the discussion here? I made an issue about precisely this on Github yesterday: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/983

@BenCalcaire@witches.town @envgen It's ultimately about user choice. Of course folks are going to cluster, otherwise we wouldn't even have a local timeline. Clustering is by design in Mastodon.

It really solves the long-standing harassment problem of Twitter if in order to read my posts, folks need to join one of the instances where harassment is swiftly dealt with.

@GinnyMcQueen@mastodon.social Gosh those people... *sigh*

@Firstaide I don't recommend doing this at all. That would just circumvent the block, and make this about you instead of them.

Sometime we hurt people without meaning to, that happens to anyone, autistic or otherwise. It happens.

And sometimes hurt people react to this in ways that are not really forgiving. But that is their right.

So understand the block as "I don't want to talk to you", not as "you are a total asshole". And live with it.

I'm really happy that we have @catboys_bot - it's amazing. <3

@Ahriman I didn't even finish the game a year ago, somehow got too frustrating at some point and I kinda just stopped I guess... but now after BotW I want to play the rest of the main game and the 2 DLCs :)
