Honestly the whole reddit protest was really good for me. I stopped spending so much time online, I only open lemmy occasionally too. Overall goodness for the planet

I actually don’t think it looks TOO bad. But in not sure what it means.

While writing this I figured out its an ‘a’ @ symbol. Instead of following the one line, it uses the a with an overhang

If being bigoted is wrong, it doesn’t take a genius to prove that, no?

I can disagree with everything they stand for, and think they are absolutely stupid, but god damn do they have a right to be. The mentality stemmed from twitter of “They are just so wrong I wont even listen or let them talk” is so ignorant and authoritarian. What if north korea censored people for saying anything negative about their government? That would be wrong to us, but to them it is based in logic.

The internet has become so used to banning expression, it baffles me. It used to be commonly agreed apon that every individual has a right to thought, and if they’re stupid it should be easy to prove them so. Nowadays everyone is censoring everyone they dont like. Some people on the right wanting to stop LGBT content, someone in this thread wanting to censor the Matt Walsh documentary. I’ve watched it to hear his opinion, despite how much I may disagree with him. And it brought up some good points. If the documentary is so wrong, we should put it out there to show and publicly shame, no? Censorship is the weakest form of countering, no one is the moral authority they may think they are.

Sorry to make this so long but I am tired of people being willingly ignorant because they don’t like what someone said. Have a nice day, stranger I disagree with.

No, don’t defederate. Just because an instance doesn’t align politically with your views doesn’t mean that they have to be gone. And we should definetly avoid a mastodon blocklist situation.

If you refuse to meet someone on level ground because you consider them intolerant of your own ideas, you’re the one being intolerant.

Im currently new to self hosting, however I’ve started running my own website using NGINX (pronounced en-ginks of course) on a raspberry pi. It’s handling quite well, the most activity I’ve known of is my friend trying to DoS it by opening a bunch of tabs on it. Next steps: Keeping track of connections and DDoS protection (w/o cloudfare. Any suggestions?)

Make your own community! Thats the beauty of the fediverse. I promise to join your community if you create it.

If you click on the logo for XIRGO it takes you to a site with a certificate. I think whoever owns XIRGO set up the itjust.works domain for some redirects and decided lemmy would be the best time to use the domain. @TheDude Am i right?

Proud to be a sh.itjust.works user
