Censorship is a valid moderation tool, no one necessarily disagrees with that; but censorship without a valid reason is not valid moderation. If you don’t like Meta, then I guess that’ fine; but I don’t necessarily have any problem with it from a “it exists” perspective and sharing space with users from that space may (or may not) add to our communities; we don’t really know at this point, but for some reason we are already advocating FULL censorship of the platform? I don’t see valid reasons from you or anyone else in this ““THREAD”” outside of fearmongering.

And yes, you’re right; de-federation EXISTS in the tool, so does blocking; why not use the latter on an individual – personal – user level, instead of this massive preemptive censorship campaign that is really – just – based on personal politics and almost nothing else? And just because a tool exists doesn’t mean it should be used; you use it when it’s appropriate, not because it simply exists.

*you also vastly overlooked my point aobut biggotry and hate speech regarding censorship; don’t really appreciate being strawman’d but whatever.

thanks for the basic lesson in freedom of speech. had never seen that xkcd comic before so it was extremely enlightening. i feel 100x smarter now.

do you think the creator would be ok with just censoring millions of people for no reason other than they happen to use threads, though, do you think that is what the comic is promoting? or maybe it’s more of a commentary on hate speech and the consequences of bigotry in a society with free speech, ever think of that? just a thought.

anyways, enjoy your mass censorship.

what? all federated servers i use have a block function. again, why are you telling me what to do? and this discussion on “server standards” – if we’re being honest – is really just a discussion about censorship. you’re promoting censorship. congratulations.

extremely weary of any call to arms like this, especially when i am exclaimed to “need” to do something. the block function exists in almost all federated platforms, including the ability to block entire instances; use it and, like META: stop pushing YOUR OWN AGENDA on everyone else.

this is just a smidgen of the first-world’s self-inflicted punishment. very excited to see what happens next.

this reeks like Keanu’s unwashed hair; an exec’s “great idea: what if we put the famous dude in our game, AGAIN?” because we are so thoroughly unconfident in our game’s gameplay that flavor of the month/year/decade will surely make up for it.

Blocked

glad they added khajit, that was my main complaint from the first game

this highlights the tragedy of the Crystal Chronicles remaster; they should have simply been able to boot that up and play the game together, but alas

why?

is this reddit? please stop

please don’t tease me

The apology seems insincere, as they always do; however, a company bending to consumer feedback in this manner is a good thing (if they actually make meaningful changes).

i bought a P-Watch due to the circular aesthetic, have been wearing mine since release. it’s “OK” but last week i fell on my bicycle and scratched up the watch face pretty badly, so QUITE annoying that there is no repair program.

doesn’t matter though, switching to a classic Cassio watch soon anyways. “Smart Watches” aren’t that helpful for me, ultimately i don’t understand the appeal. it’s just PHONE ON WRIST, seems like another way to “PLUG INTO THE MATRIX”

thanks for the tip and support!

Pom Poko is one of my favorite movies, and the Shiren 5 article is practically inspired by the movie.

Mobile Firefox + Adblocker add on.

the problem is that we’ve allowed this to happen. all mobile games function this way, the “rug” can be pulled at any time. all that money you spent on gacha pulls, was it worth it?

the problem goes back innocuously to MMO subscriptions, i think. which had a valid reason for existing, but an MMO can be “rug pulled” at any time as well, thankfully most of the greats have stayed up (wow, ffxi, eq) but ONE DAY they will be gone forever, relegated to private servers only.
