       @foxxtrot@dice.camp @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mattblaze@federate.social I think that "you need to spin up your own instance" has been a bad advice on the Fediverse for years, and at least it feels inappropriate to me (a tech solution to a social problem) so any conversation based on these premises feels as well slightly inappropriate, but because it's gone on a dozen of posts after that, I'd like to pinpoint that this instance admin could just (and my have) block Matt at his instance level anyway, so it wouldn't change much anyway.

       @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mattblaze@federate.social @foxxtrot@dice.camp There's more to that, but discussing it would derail the thread. The short answer is that if you're posting on someone else's domain name you're working for their online ranking, not yours. It may be fair for an employer who's paying you, but absolutely not as e.g. a Twitter user. You're also running server software that's developed to meet someone else's needs, not yours; in this context meeting one's own needs, for example symbolically by running this software on their own domain name, may help them to ground themself and focus on meeting their own socio-physical needs as the most literal form of autonomy.
