And this is exactly what free speech lunatics advocate for in the fedi.It's not about open communication. It's about bigots being able to flood our channels with so much nonsense we stop communicating. This is one of the primary reasons #TheBadSpace exists. These people are not acting in good faith.RE: https://mastodon.social/users/tzimmer_history/statuses/110509612716685313

Does the #TheBadSpace draw a hardline around the standards for which sites should be blocked? Absolutely. It has to be effective for the most marginalized communities in the fediverse, or there is no point.But it's not totalitarian. It will always be optional regarding usage and how it will eventually be implemented in various projects. It gives more people options to harden their security and safety, not, as the "free speech" crowd has demonstrated constantly, take away helpful options.

@Are0h Exactly, and I appreciate it for that. I'm just fine with your lists (and love them) because I *can* accommodate to my own needs/safety level.It actually seems odd that people would come at you for that reason because if they're actually interested in the instances that "aren't hate/CSA groups, but are problematic in other more mundane ways" etc - there's nothing stopping them from customizing. I do it myself with unblocking the Ukraine war bot - something a lot of people have very valid reasons to entirely domain block *because* a lot of libposting and pro-western bullshit is on there and it doesn't use CWs on anything, but occasionally it does break some valid news that I want to pass on with the proper CWs/disclaimers/precautions, etc.So I think the people coming at you AREN'T capable of "curating their own experience" as much as they claim to be because... it's much easier to curate with the hate groups and worthless troll crap and pedoshit cut out already.

@mybarkingdogs@universeodon.com That's the entire irony of people that don't like the project. They are advocating for an experience that centers them and the level of access they want, which requires removing and limiting safety options. #TheBadSpace is completely optional and wants to give people the option to curate their experience to their specific wants. But if you notice in the exchanges with people that don't like the project, they never make that distinction because it would completely destroy the foundation of their problem.Which is how you know they are full of shit.

@Are0h To me, it just seems ridiculous that these people complain about something that tells them what the problems are and gives them the choice as to how to deal with them.Like, it's not like The Bad Space is accusing everyone who feels better in a big instance or okay with an instance that has more lax moderation/way too many libs and normies/doesn't CW politics/has had a spam problem/etc etc of being, themselves, a bad person. It's literally just a content warning, and a very useful one.(Although the hate instances/p*do instances? If someone's on/federated with one of those, they *are* a bad person. And I half wonder if so many of the people complaining have one or more of those they want to engage in...ugh)

@Are0h the talk over it kind of reminds me of people who have issues with Does The Dog Die because they see it as somehow judging *every single warning on there and every person who doesn't avoid something due to every warning*When no, 90 percent of the warnings are judgment-free. There's literally no judgment for you, personally, if, say, you can tolerate spiders or flashing lights, hell, if you ENJOY them. "CW: spiders and flashing lights" is just to protect people with arachnophobia and/or photosensitive epilepsy, and help them make better, safer personal decisions.(Although I do think some of the "CW as judgment" hangover does come from conflation issues, which I actually think the different tiers of blocklists and the transparency you have with TBS helps deal with a lot, because it makes it clear that there's a huge difference between say m.s and a hate group/abuse material exchange and they're not the same thing/deserving of an equal level of "nuke it from orbit")
