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
oh and here's the twitter thread for it
https://twitter.com/NO_BOOT_DEVICE/status/888792571492921344
analysis so far
so uh my theory is bunk

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

hey this is literally one quick question no need to explain yourself just uh
yeah
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
