       @sophia I clicked the link and was not disappointed.

       @tom79 Yes, nazi instances on social media should be blocked.  I support freedom of speech but this is not a freedom of speech question.  This is a 'does this platform allow nazis' question.  Changes in an app do not cause changes in law.  Freedom of speech does not mean moderation should be repressed. The actions of app developers, regardless of what choices they make, have political ramifications and are not neutral.

       Sorry who liked the toot I just deleted.  I often choose to delete rather than keep things up that I want to correct or edit in some way.  I dislike that there's no edit option on Mastodon.

       @zensaiyuki @dredmorbius I have my dreamwidth blog listed in my Mastodon bio.  Dreamwidth supports rss feeds.

       @zensaiyuki Well users can make errors that can't be prevented by interface changes, eg a sleep deprived pilot falling asleep at a critical time (though that example may not be the pilot's fault if they are overworked, which I've read can be a problem).  Still, there are many problems with today's interfaces.  I think one issue is actually that interface design is actually a specialized skill combining design and human psychology, not a run-of-the-mill programming task.

       @zensaiyuki I've read cases where that has happened.  Sometimes it's the airlines fault because they overwork the pilots (though I wouldn't assume that's always the case--lack of sleep can have many root causes).  I suspect they would often try to evade responsibility for the issue.
