I hope in the near future you'll find more of a paying audience than YouTube or Spotify have ever offered you
I don't know. Is there some reason to do that? My idea seems to make more sense to me.
Or did you mean temporarily, like, why should lemmy.world be first?
I'm saying Lemmy's censorship is the same as reddit's because we still have roughly the same groups as on reddit.
I still post to about the same audience or smaller, not bigger than peak reddit.
The people saying "ambulance rides shouldn't cost money" are still drowned out by the people saying "poor people should die because I'm rich enough to be the one people listen to" so I don't think we should choose who to listen to based on money.
If reddit worked as a system the authorities could use to control discussion, what we have now with reddit and Lemmy definitely isn't any less useful for the authorities that way, or I would be making faster progress towards making ambulance rides free, instead of slower.
You can’t claim abuse when you keep choosing to reply.
Incorrect. Abuse is not defined by a lack of responses from the victim.
I’ve no more “abused” you than you have me.
Incorrect. I have only been a tiny bit abusive to you in small bursts. You've been extremely abusive to me constantly for hours.
And it’s ironic you talk about “mental needs” when you’ve been claiming “abuse” from me for pages and pages despite repeatedly coming back for more.
Not really. You're pretending it's ironic as another weak attempt at gaslighting.
Right. If you read my original post, one of the first things I mentioned was how I looked for a a fully zero-censorship instance/cluster to transition into. Why do you keep needing things repeated?
You refuse answer most of my questions.
Incorrect. I have answered most of your questions, often multiple times since you keep repeating them.
I feel completely justified in the doing the same.
Maybe you're insane enough to believe I refuse to answer most of your questions, and you feel justified, but that's not healthy. You also might just be knowingly lying through your teeth, which isn't healthy either.
I’m pointing out your hypocrisy.
Nope. There's none there to point out. I do keep pointing out yours, though.
All behaviour is not equal.
Correct.
I haven’t hurled abuse at you
Incorrect. You have been "hurling" abusive replies at me for hours.
you have repeatedly hurtled abuse and insults at me.
Incorrect. What I have done is repeatedly "hurtled" (hurled?) insults at you, and occasionally responded in kind to your abuse.
You literally said here that it shouldn’t be removable.
Didn't remember ever using the word "removable."
Clicked your link. Ctrl+f "removable" both results are you, not me.
Finally.
What do you mean?
How am I spamming? I’m replying to your posts.
You're replying with abusive nonsense, making me repeat stuff 50 times, ignoring all my questions while asking a thousand of your own, etc. It's quite spammy.
Sounds like you want me censored.
From the current version of Lemmy, which relies on that kind of targeted censorship in its design, which you're against fixing.
Not from nostr, which you can't be banned from or have your posts removed from, where I've repeatedly said you should join me in discussion since you seemed to be trying to bait me to say things I could be banned for.
Not from the version of Lemmy I want, where only spammers are censored, and no human is banned (their spam is just removed/throttled/blocked by individual users)
It’s also comical to me that you assume an instance with zero rules would automatically lead to good-faith discussion.
I didn't ask.
And you know what it would look like, would you?
I simply speculate on it, instead of lying about what it would mean.
You'd kinda be isolating yourself to what those "middle people" tell you, but I guess that's honestly fine if you have a trustworthy social circle.
You don’t have to reply.
I didn't ask if I do. Why waste both of our time typing that? Just because you're a very abusive person, right? Like, you're willing to waste your own time just to also waste mine?
I’m done now really, but will be reporting your insults.
Good luck getting me banned. I assume you mentally need it, and I don't really care what happens to Lemmy enough to fear for the impact it would have on the community if they put your mental needs before basic decency. I kinda hope Lemmy keeps me around and keeps becoming a better place, but I also kinda hope they just turn it into a daycare for people like you, because I will feel kinda bad for you if you fail to get me banned after wasting so much time.
No, your comments on federation suggest you just outright don’t understand how it is supposed to work.
Incorrect.
It is working as intended.
Not sure why you're making me repeat this, but: maybe. However, not ostensibly. Not as advertised. Not as commonly understood.
No-one else seems to view it as you seem to.
Why tell such a dumb lie when it's pretty much just us here?
Yet you keep replying.
Reporting for yet more insults.
Ah, so that's why you keep acting like there are other people reading this? You're hoping mods or admins will ban me or remove my comments for some flimsy justification you've been trying to fabricate? Plausible. We'll see.
Clever to keep driving home the point that I see through false advertising, in case you can bring a hammer down on me from some powerful Lemmy insider who's scared of being exposed. I don't really think any of them give a fuck though. It could probably work without all that cleverness, if it does work at all.
So you have no evidence of any “regulatory pressure” forcing instances to shut down.
Incorrect.
You do not need to be federated with other instances to start and maintain an instance. By “do whatever I want” I meant within the instance itself.
I didn't ask. Why did you type that?
By “do whatever I want” I meant within the instance itself.
Again, I'm responding more to your words than the secret meanings.
People targeting you (replying to you) in this thread isn’t the same thing as the state or some other authority somehow targeting you.
Incorrect. The authorities are just people.
What a ludicrous claim.
The claim you made in the sentence before this was ludicrous, but I feel like you're trying to project that on me, not openly admitting it.
Are the people here somehow going to stop you from spinning up your own instance, should you choose to?
How would I know? Why would you ask me that as if I'd somehow know the answer?
And I don’t give a single solitary fuck about the majority of your questions.
I didn't ask if you do.
It’s clear you barely know what you’re replying to.
Incorrect.
Federation isn’t broken.
Incorrect, refuted in my original post and many times repeatedly throughout this thread, including this subthread with you. You have made me repeat this and other related statements so many times. It's pretty abusive behavior.
I’m not bound by your rather broken understanding or expectations of federation.
You can't be, since I don't have any. And another reason you can't be, is because you can only be bound by your own.
But it works as it intends to.
Perhaps, but ostensibly not, and not as it's advertised and commonly understood.
And no-one used them.
I didn't ask.
Why waste time typing that, without admitting how it proves wrong what you had said? Just because you're a deeply dishonest person, right?
Name some of my loaded questions.
Why? What's in it for me?
Like last time, this is still a rhetorical question, because I haven't forgotten you're a nobody with nothing real to offer.
So what custom rules can an instance owner not implement on their instance?
"No spam, no anti-free-speech instances" as the only rule. Why do I keep having to say basically the same shit over and over? Why do you act like it's hard to understand my original post?
Am I making you reply?
No, but it's interesting that you'd ask such a dumb question you already know the answer to, right after quoting the part where I pointed out that you've wasted hours of my day gaslighting me.
Seems like another attempt to be confusing, even though it's pretty much just us here. Very mentally ill behavior, and that's the truth, not gaslighting.
This is a loaded question, tantamount to “Are you still beating your wife?”
No, it was a rhetorical question, tantamount to "what can you personally offer anyone?"
Do you even know what I’m denying at this point?
Reality, overall, yes.
I don't remember the specific thing I was replying to there, or feel like checking it, though.
I don’t care about your question (which is yet another veiled insult).
I didn't ask if you cared.
The point is that a fediverse moderator/admin could not be bribed as effectively as they would be on Reddit.
I didn't ask. How is that a point here, let alone "the?" Seems like more of another random irrelevant statement than a point.
What regulatory pressure here are you referring to that you assume has caused instances to shut down?
Same answers as before. Why do you keep repeating questions I've directly given you answers to already?
That’s not what I was referring to.
I didn't ask. I respond to your words more than your secret meanings.
Some owners find the obligations associated with being an instance owner of lots of users and communities time-consuming and exhausting and eventually shut down.
Again, didn't ask.
So who are the “corrupt authorities” you’re referring to here?
That's been repeatedly specified, right where you're asking: the ones that censor political discussion.
So where’s your evidence then?
Bad use of "so" and "then," since you keep ignoring everything I'm saying, whereas those words would imply you're saying something that flows from what you quoted.
I still understand your question, and will half-answer it if you answer any of the many questions you've ignored from me so far leading up to this.
You claimed that federation requires “approval” of other instances. This is true, but a) so what?
That was answered from the beginning: "so" the freedom of starting a new instance is not a magical guarantee you can do whatever you want, contrary to what you were trying to suggest.
and b) being rejected does not mean your instance is shut down. You just don’t federate with the other instance.
Are you making the pointlessly obvious statement that being rejected from federation isn't the same thing as being rejected from DNS/IP addresses, or are you making the tautologically obviously incorrect statement that being rejected from DNS/IP addresses isn't the same thing as being rejected from DNS/IP addresses?
Either way, why did you bring it up right after I didn't ask?
You need a little knowhow, but anyone can spin up their own instances.
Nope. Anyone with a home server can spin up an instance on their server, but that's not the same as just "anyone" and it's also not an absolute sense of "their own instances"
You’re a targeted individual?
You ask this like you don't notice yourself targeting me right now, or the overall collective response from everyone else here.
Why pretend to be so dumb? Isn't your real stupidity enough for you?
Okay, but the point is that no-one is screening your little lemmy server before it goes online.
How is that a point here, let alone "the?"
I’ve long stopped giving a fuck about most of your asinine questions.
That confirms my point: it's weird to keep copying and pasting them, but not answering them, like you just did again.
Am I keeping you here?
Have you forgotten the past few hours suddenly? What did you think you were doing, talking to a chat bot?
The point is you’re making demands despite not having the numbers.
What demands? What numbers? What point?
Anyone else then? Is it real or just another lie?
Thank you. Took some time to calm down a bit and I read your comment to give it a reply. Hope you're having a good one
eventually it will be like we blocked each other.
Not symmetrically though. You'll probably still try to have public political opinions, so I'll probably still be able to read and respond to those, it would just be you that can't see my responses. Over time, this should drive pretty much everyone into places without symmetric blocking.
To be clear, you seem chill, so I personally do not intend to talk shit behind your back, or anything like that.
So presumably you can’t forgive most westerners.
Still not sure you know what "presumably" means.
Most Westerners are currently what I call Nazis, so forgiveness would be a long way away for them, but this is the first time I've said that in this thread, and I can't remember the context you're saying it came up in sooner.
You have no idea of why they might be on a plane.
I can guess based on their reply to me that it's not worth it.
Hell, for all you know it’s visiting family across the world.
My mom kept ignoring me saying she shouldn't pollute the AIR WE FUCKING BREATHE to visit her sister who was dying of cancer, and now she cries about it regularly.
I feel horrible for her. I wish there was a better outcome for her than having a son who knows more than her, while she refuses to listen, and hates herself for it.
I don't currently have energy left, after thinking about that, to give a fuck what an online stranger who insults me for no reason is going through. Did you think I'd give a fuck? Was there a reason for you to think that? Do you think the fucking survival of the planet isn't as high on my list of priorities as it should be?
I didn't ask what you can imagine them doing, so why did you waste time typing that?
Not sure why you even care about much of this to begin with then.
So you asked me about anarcho-primitivism while having no idea what it is? That would be an impressive level of stupidity if it wasn't just an abnormal level of dishonesty instead.
That’s me explaining why cutting out pedophile sites reduces pedophile business opportunities.
But I didn't ask, so why waste time typing it?
It is 100% related here.
Nope, especially not at the part you inserted it in, where the topic was how you said the business is "gutted."
I did. It’s not self-explanatory at all.
Secret-keeping is a pretty well-known capability of three-letter agencies. How old are most people when they learn that? 3? 4 at the most, probably?
It might feel intuitive, but you’re assuming that when these sites are shut down that data isn’t being sent to the authorities.
I don't get what you mean. The data is taken away from me, so I can't give authority to myself in that context. The people I've been calling "the authorities" are the people who take it down, of course they have it.
You haven’t really. You’re all over the place on this.
Incorrect, and willingly so, like so many of your other attempts to gaslight me.
It’s incorrect?
You don't know what "borderline incorrect" means? Or you like, need me to pick one?
So we should censor or block access to some things but not all things that could be acquired, in theory, on TOR?
Who's "we?"
I am not helping you with shit like this, or letting you help me with it, in any direct way. "We" can work at a certain degree of separation until you learn a useful enough skill to compensate for being an abusive psycho
So whether or not you see it doesn’t mean you’re more likely to catch them.
Incorrect. I cannot catch people I'm not aware of. I have some chance of catching people I'm aware of. That is a difference in likelihood.
Perhaps you had me confused with yourself, who are too abusive, selfish, and dishonest to even try being useful.
Again: Baseless conjecture from you.
Incorrect. I have not been posting any baseless conjecture here.
You literally just said here that it shouldn’t be removable.
Not clicking that, don't remember what I was asking about. Want to explain with screenshots, or was it just another time-wasting thing that's not actually important?
I said: “So you outright openly pro people’s right to share child porn online.”
Your reply: “Correct, but phrased with edgy wording I wouldn’t usually use.”
Correct, and weird place to end the comment. Seems like you were in the middle of explaining something, and then stopped.
Bet what isn’t true? That lemmy.blahaj isn’t pro-LGBT?
Whatever the premise was of the question I was replying to. I'm pretty sure lemmy.blahaj is pro-LGBT so if you were asking why they're not, then maybe yes, "that lemmy.blahaj isn't pro-LGBT" except I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you asked.
Bet what isn’t true? That slrpnk.net isn’t solarpunk-themed?
Whatever the premise was of the question I was replying to, but I have no idea what slrpnk.net is, so it couldn't have been that.
Hexbear is an overt Marxist instance.
Didn't ask.
Maga.place is a pro-trump instance.
Did they pay you for advertising? I didn't ask what they are.
Do you think they have the same culture? The same themes?
You tell me, you're the one spamming about them, I never heard of them before this
It’s also of note that you’ve not heard of hexbear, as to me that makes you quite uninformed about the entire fediverse.
I didn't ask, why waste time typing this?
I didn’t ask you for the definition of “distinguish”.
Good, because it almost seemed like you did.
I asked you what sets instances apart.
I assume you mean actual existing instances, so:
- Cold signups
- Level of "rules"
- User base size
- What other instances are federated/blocked
What makes lemmy.world different from sh.itjust.works, according to you?
I feel high certainty lemmy.world is run directly by glowies and some certainty sh.itjust.works isn't (directly - like, the admins themselves)
The point is your grievances here with federation wouldn’t change.
Your inability to imagine the future seems like it's more your problem than mine. I think you shouldn't be bothering me with it.
This still seems dishonest
