@MartinDeLaToot @GabeLakmann @rikudou the good news is that when they've finally achieved utopia / full block saturation their own purity olympics begin, followed shortly by cannibalism.

@rikudou i don't, because I'd like to know how you square your claim to free speech against an exception that makes it unfree.

Have you thought about this? What inspired you towards authoritarianism? Was it a troubled childhood?

@rikudou are you still claiming to be a free speech advocate?

@rikudou right, so those people can block other people. Why do you need to make that decision for them? And, you're in no way in favor of free speech:

"Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech."
― Noam Chomsky

@rikudou we're pretending this is the free and open internet, an alternative to censorship and nannying that drove most of us here 5+ years ago to get away from it.

For my part, I can't figure out why now people who want a curated, censored internet come to the wild west, then complain, then began breaking down the linkages between instances because of their individual sensitivities instead of going somewhere that already caters to coddling and enforcing thought regimentation.

@rikudou where did i actively promote harming other users, and how are you defining harm?

@rikudou @Dee Each defederation is a step closer to becoming the next Gab: they defederated from everyone. Congrats!
