my thoughts 

anyway if you get down to the bare bones of it with none of the rules lawyering (no trying to get one with the other)

"immortality vs shapeshifting" is actually a very interesting question

analysis so far 

so uh my theory is bunk
but it does show a completely different theory
responses on twitter were much more snap judgements while mastodon opinions were seemingly more thought out

dumb poll im doing just because i have a dumb theory 

oh also, assume that you could cancel out on immortality at any point if you wanted to

especially if it's server software
if what the server is doing can be that harmful to [users/the network/etc], perhaps you need to consider why you think it's harmful
perhaps it isn't actually that harmful
perhaps you should let people create their own self-contained networks if they want, there's no reason to force them not to
if such a large group of people think it'll split the network apart then hey maybe you can all create your own network that federates with everyone
have fun

all program customization options should just have a seperate category of more internal customization settings
ones that may seem like they have no need to be customized ever

even if the developer thinks it'll just cause the user to screw themselves over
just put it behind a warning that you will probably screw yourself over

let the user shoot themselves in the foot if they want
and have an easy way for them to restore defaults

the only thing that is not a sandwich is a single piece of bread, kept floating in the center of a sealed vaccum that is about 15 meters wide in each direction
anything else is a sandwich

remember that if somebody lets you know that they are uncomfortable with somebody else, it is not a call for debate, it's an expression of boundaries. you are not even required to think of them as bad.
