Poor freedom of speech. Its meaning has taken such a drubbing in the last few years.

I mean, originally, it was just "the government can't tell you what you can and can't say".

Then someone decided it meant "what you say should never have any consequences".

Then someone decided that it meant "nobody can deny you a soapbox".

Then someone decided that it meant "nobody can refuse to listen to you."

Now apparently it means "every program that could possibly access my soapbox MUST do so."

Evening, y'all, I'd like to reiterate Snouts' stance on Gab:

1. They will never be welcome here
2. They have been pre-emptively suspended/defederated for weeks now
3. beat the shit out of the fash

sleepy

@Mycroft yes

Gab has two known domains at the moment:

gab.com and gab.ai

So admins, go ahead and preemptively de-federate with those domains!

it's that time again!

On July 4th Gab is coming on to the Fediverse by switching over to Mastodon on their servers.

This means that you can shut the door on them today by preemptively have them fully suspended from your instances. So your users do not have risk getting harassed by any of their users, and they from the start be blocked off from major portions of the Fediverse.

Thank you for your consideration and

Let me be clear.

Saying devs shouldn’t make any ethical decisions concerning software is a cowardly decision, which enables hate, abuse and harassment to continue.

You’re not a centrist or being logical.

You’re giving space for hate to flourish.

It's time to stop using Fedilab folks. The dev of that app just announced that he will not be blocking Gab. This is despite overwhelming support for the block from users and devs in a poll that hasn't even completed yet.

I attempted to have a conversation with him yesterday because he gave the appearance of good faith, but he's made it clear that he's fine with Nazis and White Supremacists as long as it doesn't affect him. Receipts will be attached over several toots.

I wrote 'FUCK TERFS' on my stomach for pride and spent the day (mostly) topless. I got sunburn there so now I'm gonna have tan outlining the words 'FUCK TERFS' on my stomach all summer 😂

Fedilab likes giving platform to freeze peach advocates because it wants their clicks and doesn't want to do anything to stop them!!!!

Stop using fedilab :)

Tusky is great and doesn't have platform for Nazis!!!

girls: yes

boost if you think there should be a software license equivalent to open source except rigorously banning any sort of commercial, military, or government use
