@schlink I literally have no idea what they are saying. They claim to be getting political, then say they respect the decision by both apps. Glad they took a stand in saying they don't support sites likes Gab, but I don't understand if they are taking any actual action.

@Laurelai most of the ones I use focus on blocking neo-Nazi, and fake antifa accounts.

Coming to the realization that I may not be able to avoid Facebook any longer. I have an obligation to my publisher to try and sell as many books as possible and I know if I re-activate my account, I will have far greater reach than Twitter and Mastodon alone.

I have just loved not having Facebook for so long. I hate them so much.

@moz haha, nah you're good!

@rumblestiltskin You may want to throw a few asterisks in there.

@Laurelai I block a lot more on here than I do twitter (where I mostly mute). But last I checked, on Twitter I had passed 100,000 blocks, thanks to block bots.

I am pretty sure I block more than 50% of the users of PrivacyTools' forum.

@rumblestiltskin Sadly, I do. A few years ago the doxxed me and my family and I received countless death threats against myself and my children.

@ben well, the way to fix ICE is to get rid of it and then not replace it, ever.

@ben ah okay. That makes a bit more sense but I’m not sure that’s totally true because we have seen cops try and do the right thing, and be fired for it. I think it’s possible to join with good intentions and either be driven out, or just go either flow and become a bad person.

@ben this is a great take, but wasn’t it just yesterday you were attacking people who don’t believe the police are good?
