  • define these people. define these instances. etc etc

    what’s your point? anyone can do a screen shot and share it too.

    if you want to have a conversation about the content of my post, please keep it on topic : without authorised fetch and a domain blocked at the instance level, the content is pushed.

    if you have technical knowledge to add to this or can correct me about the protocol I’m glad to hear it. if not I’m not interested.




  • I came to the fediverse in 2017, so nothing to do with reddit or meta or twitter.

    The fact is here, we have a choice. So you do you.

    On mastodon I have an account on an instance that blocked meta and is using authorised fetch (so the proper way to block a domain) : great, my content won’t go there or on any other blocked domains : it’s my choice.

    I have another account on another instance that didn’t blocked meta : great, my content will be shared with threads users and I will be able to browse threads.

    Choice, isn’t it great?




  • I don’t think that it’s off topic at all, in the contrary. If you analyse the situation described by the OP, the issue is not the fact that our actions are transparents, the issue is due to the consequence of downvoting a post and how this action made another person feel and how they acted on this feeling.

    Downvoting is not a constructive tool and should be abolished. It’s not a matter of the users not using it the right way, it’s a matter of psychological behaviour.

    We should design tools that help us to bring the best in us, not the worst. We are not here on a commercial platform who need to hook us with dopamine shot, and trigger us on engaging by frustrating us. We need to build things differently. Federating servers is great but not enough.

    I think that an option to be able to remove the display of the downvote tool and downvote count should be available in the settings. I would like to abolish it all together but I’m not interested to impose this on other users, so bring me an opt out please.

    what do you think @ernest? let’s change this paradigm and build another better tool?










  • and for you throwing an example is enough to make a point? how do you know that I don’t bother about it on other places on the web? do you know about whataboutism? do you think that the old “it was always like this so it’s ok” is a relevant position?

    please keep your condescending tone to you. if you don’t want to have a real discussion about this and just want to get upvotes, go for it. I don’t care and leave me alone please
