3 years agothey will all fly away when they will see the amount of anime girl avatar and ostentatious non-gender presentation. :)
The far-right/nazi specter/accusation is the new preventive shutdown.
I was going to create a post about censorship on Fedi as I have a seen removed a post of mine about stolen farming vehicles by russian being remotely disabled, pointing out the first and most important problem of this news such as implementing such tech in first place and the article, leaving in between the lines (thanks to the war ) that it could be good thing.
We know there are far-right/left nuts around - and it’s too easy to spot them - but it is also so easy and powerful strategy to cover under false flags.
If the Fediverse wants to survive, it must raise the bar and not shooting at the first questioning slightly unaligned post. Ad-hominem attacks must be the first red card - even before insults IMHO.
On a side note, even though I don’t approve throwing insane money on a platform like twitter, I think Elon’s approach is making sense and might work. Like it or not, Elon is what coming close to a robot and as such, and beside trans-humanism shit (because he’s a nerd), I think he is deeply honest and of goodwill.
