       @lev2013 It is, indeed.  @z is an IRL friend of mine, but was not an admin.  (We have very different ideas on moderation policy; he spent some time trying to convince me not to do what I am still doing.)At the time, I was expecting folk to be a different guy than he was.  Once I started to understand where he was going with it, he got much more entertaining.

       @lev2013 She's cool people, too.  I wish she'd come on here more, because she's got a pretty wicked sense of humor when she gets into the zone.

       @lev2013 Appreciated, but so far I think I can mostly keep up.  "The inmates can run the asylum more efficiently than a bunch of administrators" is a core tenet of :ancap: anyway.

       @p @lev2013 I was very clear about what would happen and why it would happen. I was largely proved right.One thing I was worried would happen is the fediverse would assume you are a crypto-fascist, but thankfully most people now get that @p is just impractically principled in his particular beliefs.

       @z @lev2013 Hey, you came by!  We've got :dudeeuphoric: and :brandt: now. (And :dobbs:, :generay:, etc.)  You might say hello to @wizard while you're around.Yeah, I didn't doubt that if there is a certain class of person that everyone else banned, they'd cluster where they aren't banned.  I don't think we're isolated ( https://fediverse.network/freespeechextremist.com/stats , ), but I did think there were fewer censorship-happy instances.magus1.gifmagus2.gif

       @z @p @lev2013 It's actually kinda funny, everyone in fedi sees FSE as "that instance filled with nazis, but the admin is pretty cool I guess"

       @p @wizard @z @lev2013 Nazis have the same problem with the fediverse I do.Just not that into coding, Linux distros and anime pics.

       @judgedread @wizard @z @lev2013 I think that's a discovery problem.  Like, plenty of people not super into those things, but it can be difficult to find people.  Because there's no algorithm designed to maximize engagement, everything's more flat.I've got a few thoughts on the discoverability issue, but nothing firm.

       @p Gab has been rekt by discoverability issues.Categories were abolished because they were flooded with spam, but that solved nothing because it made it impossibe for noobs to find any conversation at all.Off topic spam and plain old attention seeking (Politics is the busiest category? That's where I will post about scrapbooking and preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!) are chronic on lightly moderated sites.

       @judgedread Yeah, I don't know much about how Gab works these days.I did hop in because some "Jesus would support the troops" guy replied to my old-ass post about how Torba was an idiot, but I never spent any time on the site.

       @judgedread Ah, I think some time before that is when I wandered in, then decided to walk back out.  The bot army you mentioned is, I think, 90% of the people following me, because the only posts I had put up were "Now that I'm here, it looks like this is just right-wing Twitter, how is their free speech guarantee worth any more than Twitter's?"Now that I think of the bots, if the bot army allegations are true (I have no reason to doubt you and @PussySlayer, and it lines up with what I saw, so I suspect it's true) then it's even worse, because the bots were all named things like "trump1488" and shit like that.

       @p @PussySlayer The Gab bots are probably using MAGApede names from other sites, maybe even grapping abandoned names from Gab itself.4 out of 30 posts came from a spambot when I checked an hour ago.
