So if any one is following me here, I am moving to @yisraeldov@linuxrocks.online I am debating on if to go into why I am leaving this instance.
Ok, I'm looking for a #mastodon instance that prohibits any content advocating violence. Preferably technology related. I might need to start my own, I wonder how hard that could be.
Sure most of you all don't like this guy but relevant to discussions that I have been trying to have with people here unsuccessfully.

This way when people call @unclebobmartin@twitter.com a "transphobe" I can assume that they mean that he does not like dynamic typing. And I can keep my head clear of irrelevant comments, that don't lead to productive thought or dialogue.
For anyone who doesn't understand why the Tusky change is wrong:
It may not be against the letter of free/open source software*, but it is certainly in the spirit. FOSS does not discriminate against its users and remain FOSS, including the users you don't like. The freedom to use the software as you wish is unalienable, including for gab users.
* both definitions
That, and don't add rickrolls to your project for any reason.

It's similar to how people call others Nazis not in the literal way. Agreed. There are ways to show displeasure without needing to use charged terms for gain
I will stop here with #Gab by removing the block feature inside the app in the next release.
My motivations:
- I didn't receive a reply from Google policy team about a potential ban of the application.
- Without the previous risk, I clearly think that's not my role. I can't hard-code instance blocks especially when every tools are here for that.
- If you want a strong block, it's in the hands of social network developers or your admins.

Last comment on this: "concentration camp" is an extremely charged term and I get why many people are, in good faith, uncomfortable with its application for Godwin's Law purposes among others. So let's just call them "detention camps" and focus on what's happening in them.
Emacs user, grumpy and tired most of the time.
Have been called a troll and a jerk so watch out.
I embrace and encourage precise speech and the use of RTFM
