@stux the quote is exactly what I think someone mocking a crypto person would write, except it is actually what they wrote

You've heard of "number go up" but have you tried "number stay about the same but everyone is chill and has a pretty good time"?

The ideological divide between whether the next new user is the most important, or the last new user.

#fediblock tip: just search your instance's emojis for "chad" and "pepe" for a handy list of instances to consider defederating from.

Honestly it is both the number one instantly requested "feature" from recent Twitter addicts and the number one symptom of toxic twitter brain poison to suggest it be added rather than contemplate why it hasn't been. It's not an oversight, I promise you. It has been considered and rejected. Let go. Learn a new way of relating.

I think a fundamental conceptual distinction between here and the other place is that this social network is and has been used by people who prioritize their mental health over reach, while the other place was designed to manipulate you into using it, which included an aspect of incentivizing reach.Reach is growth mindset shit and, eventually, attracts conflict. Most of the people I know here favor a positive healthy experience over aspiring for reach.

To preempt responses of "that creates a bubble": bubbles aren't inherently bad. Nobody wants someone to pick a fight with them when they're just out at a coffee shop talking with a friend. People have a right (and a responsibility to themselves) to choose when and in what social spaces to engage with conflict.There is no moral obligation for anyone to indulge hostility or contentiousness in every space a person occupies, anytime someone demands it. Boundaries are good actually.

I think the unexamined core that is laid bare as people try to wean themselves from corporate, ad supported social media is exactly how much their design is influenced by advertising and addiction and how much that design influences behavior.It is so insidious and subtle that people mostly believe behaviors and expectations created by those systems are natural and come from themselves and not externally, calculatedly imposed and manipulated.

@adamdavidson it's important that you understand that they aren't mere trolls. They have caused more than one death. And you used their tool.Hopefully you can appreciate why admins take the safety of their users seriously and are wary about the harm your instance can cause even through mere negligence.

@researchfairy @nev yeah this is also troubling to me. It drove a trans voice off their server, in exactly the way that weaponized civility harms members of other oppressed communities. They'll likely keep doing it because it's baked into their worldview.

@admin worth noting that the number is almost certainly an undercount because it comes from a tool with a flawed methodology.

Admins need to pull it together and collectively tell website boy we are not his franchisees. He can fuck off with his branding.

@djsundog it is "fun" being an admin and assessing every follow request for "yes," "no," and the rare and powerful "fuck no on behalf of everyone here."

When the server slows down because a lot of new signups or whatever, consider it your natural organic prompt to touch snow instead for a while
