i've been here since april 2017. the things people are complaining about today here echo the same things that were complained about back then too.
i just want my home back
this is my problem with the fediverse and social media at large. we're not supposed to all be sharing the same house. nobody will be happy and satisfied all at once. we're all going to get in each other's nerves.
there is not a single #fediverse and to say that any singular community built it is problematic.
If you are a #MastodonAdmin for a multi-user instance, you owe it to your users to not blindly trust centralized #FediBlock lists/directories.
I've seen at least half a dozen created in the past 2 months and while they might be useful, do your own research first before deciding which instances to block.
Also, for the sake of your users, avoid automated blocking systems/tools.
Happy admining and block responsibly! 👍
@AmyZenunim doin Bad since 2020
@kumachan @AmyZenunim awoo.space has been doing that since like 2017
i have also been here since april 2017 folks
computer fairies was founded in april 13 2017
i've been pushed out of my own space because i wanted to be friends with the wrong people, apparently, literally it was a personal spat with a bigger instance admin which turned into "ooo this person is a mad abuser"
i wanted rhys to be my friend, not to be ghosted and belittled by them
i don't think that's too abusive to ask for, in a personal environment
that's the danger of #fediblock
@freakazoid thanks for your opinion
@freakazoid are0h, who you are trying to credit, was one of the people who pushed a lot of people away from the fediverse under false pretenses
i think you are in the wrong side of this battle
@freakazoid hi there i've been a mastodon public instance founder since 2017
i've been harassed by misuse of the #fediblock tag
thank you for checking in
anyway computer fairies is still alive despite elekk and i'm in a healthier place for having excised noëlle and her cohorts from my life, even if they do still haunt me sometimes because i feel like i never got vindicated for it
remember when elekk abused #fediblock because pissbabies rhys and milly figured they had enough mastodon clout to pull a personal vendetta against me into a whole gaslight about shutting down the instance i created while noëlle watched on like she didn't create the whole monster
remember when tons of people on Twitter used BlockTogether where autistic trans women were blocked en masse because we didn't say the correct words at the correct time and may have had bad opinions fifteen years prior as abused teenagers, and it was justified as "fighting back against Nazis" regardless of the collateral damage?
anyway, how's #fediblock doing these days
@rcetmu neither is the crypto scam
scourge of the fediverse, retired computer fairies founder (2017-2021), drone #6502, official amiga mascot, begrudgingly making a return to the fediverse to upset those who told us to leave. i've been here longer than you.
