what if I told you that the instances who harbor hate speech and cp were the ones breaking federation, not the admins sensible enough to block them?

This morning I had an idea for a masto instance as LARP of Moby-Dick. Limited registration and only as characters in the book. A couple of bots to add atmosphere (ocean sounds, whale sounds) but mostly just an arena for Melville fanfic. Will federate so other instances can follow but users only interact with each other. Good idea or bad idea?

The problem I have with the discourse is that the App Store's policies have the end all final word on how Amaroq will be allowed to connect to the fediverse, regardless of the what anyone thinks. If it is found that Amaroq is being used to view content that is beyond its already extremely lax 17+ rating, I will either have to comply and adjust the app accordingly or it will be taken off the store. There's no real gray area. Just so you're all aware of how this effects third-party apps.

It's 69F outside right now. For those of you used to celsius temperatures, you can get a sense of what that's like by remembering "69 = nice"

choosing what types of communities we can federate with is why I'm here.

I don't want to fuck cops or soldiers. I don't want to federate with the alt-right.

RIP Bob Taylor, who played a role in the creation of the ARPAnet, the personal computer, Engelbart's mouse, Xerox's desktop metaphor, and more. Also (this guy didn't slack) co-wrote "The Computer as a Communications Device" (1968) with Licklider.

for real though i'm not yet convinced that you can compare blocking instances with blocking people when people are free to move and subject themselves to the moderation of instances that others are happy to federate with

Just saw that, and it felt way too relevant to this instances to not share it with you fellow witches…
