I need to hang a sign on the sign up page for m.t that says “this instance is basically run by hippies, get over it or sign up somewhere else!”

I’ve had users signing up today just to tell me I did a moderation wrong.
Here’s the thing tho
“Free speech” is my freedom to use the banhammer so hahaa get fucked.

@trickster yuuuup

@trickster @ashfurrow Damn! I've always hated Linux Youtubers, but this video has a "je ne sais quoi" about it! It's sorta given me an idea...
fedi pol
@trickster why does he spend a minute talking about snow in Louisiana and also his cat, just get to the goddamn point
fedi pol
@rfox @trickster He talks about his cat to prove that he himself isn't racist. How could he be racist if he named his cat after a black president?
I believe the snow thing might be a casual segway into a more controversial topic. The cat thing also serves that purpose.
This is why I love this video. It has red flags hidden underneath more red flags! I have been doing nothing but daydreaming about making a parody of this video!

@Lofenyy @trickster you piqued my interest, so I subjected myself to the video.
What a wild ride
fedi pol
@Lofenyy @trickster also, "I mainly use mastodon to post links to my videos as soon as I upload them"
Sounds like Ash also banned a spammer
re: fedi pol
@ashfurrow this stance is exactly why I decided to make your instance the home for my more professional account, thank you for running it this way ^^
re: fedi pol
@dysphoricDev aww, shucks!
