Moreover, it’s her instance, and she can do whatever she wants with it.

Its users are free to leave whenever they wish, but I doubt many will as a result of this bc (a) Ada is awesome, and (b) the comments look strongly in her favor. Also © Ava’s policies are clearly explained at the outset, and firmly and fairly applied.

Our approval outside of the situation does not matter in the slightest:-).

(That said, if it did, I would want to see some additional context, bc wine that phrase can be used as a dog whistle, I believe it may also be legitimate as well. I would strongly hope that the additional context in this case provided the justification that I can’t fully see here. Which knowing Ada, seems highly likely. Edit: if this comment really is it, then nvm, I get it. Tbf that really does seem like a discussion that needs to be had among centrists, but I can totally see why Blåhaj doesn’t want to federate that content and thereby host it on its own servers. So without prejudicial judgement either for or against the original comment, I definitely support Ada’s call here. As I always end up doing when I dig deeply enough to see what’s going on in each situation. I am not saying that I would have done it - perhaps a community block or other reduced feature could have been applied, but for her server, it’s her right.)

(Except this time)

TO GLORY!

Yes, 🤖I UNDERSTAND FELLOW HONK BROTHER🤖…

Would users of PieFed become PieHeads? 😜

Except if you talk about the goose club

Then you are automatically kicked out of the club?!

🤪🙃🪿

He got blue, he got yellow, he got whatever you want (that he can get) :-P

That is 💯% exhaustion, readily attainable by anyone but requires much effort:-)

birbs aminals aren’t real!

But would Becky let him smash? Asking the real questions here!?!

Then get to work!

I think you meant to say wiser? (Or was it wizened? wizardacious perhaps? 🤪)

Edit: maybe… wizardlicious?

You should have no problems based on skin color, I would guess.

What problems there are with skin colors usually go the other way, and more importantly tends to not involve foreigners, so the moment someone hears your accent they will realize that you are not part of their target demographic. For the most part, I think?

Obviously there is crime but this is the same as everywhere in the world, so I’m speaking here strictly of racial based ones.

I guess you are asking if people who are not white - being black or Hispanic or whatever - and who hate whities/crackers, would they do something like mug you? And the answer is yeah they could, but those who would do that are roughly equally likely to mug others of their own race as well.

There is also a possibility that they could want to mug you merely because you look different. But the same would be true for a non-white person who wears a noticeably different style of clothing or some such.

Crime here, like everywhere, is based on locality. You aren’t wrong to have asked, obviously, but that is my answer is that specifically skin color based crimes are not something for you to worry about. Poor areas where crime happens, now THAT is what you want to worry about, regardless of how you look.

… that this is not true!🤪😳🫠

There is zero possibility of this ending badly…

I dunno there might be other ways?

imma be honest here, this photo looks noting at all like me:-P

The users here are definitely a higher quality than Reddit.

Or much lower, depending on where you go. Your instance is defederated from ~95% of the worst of the bad faith tankie posts though, so your recent experience is a success story that blocking such works to help people enjoy themselves here!

In contrast, I almost left the Threadiverse myself, after being trolled in both Hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml (again, both of which slrpnk.net is defederated from) by making innocuous comments (I thought) yet receiving spam replies for WEEKS and WEEKS afterwards. Tbf that is kinda the entire purpose of ChapoTrapHouse@hexbear.net - to dunk on lib takes (or even ones not leftist enough) - but a new person (me!) wouldn’t know that by arriving at a random post by browsing All, which doesn’t show the sidebar text anywhere before you have a chance to reply in a comment. I would rather not use social media entirely than have to constantly put up with such.

So instead I switched instances, getting rid of lemmygrad.ml, then petitioned the new one to defederate from Hexbear.net, which was successful, then switched to PieFed which allows me to block all users from any instance I choose without requiring admin support, and thereby blocked lemmy.ml. I managed to get rid of the entire Big Three in my feed! And yes it does make experiencing the Threadiverse much better 😊.
