@dtm@mastodon.cc Even better: you can create hashtag timelines and find lots of intersting stuff around topics you like that way

@RationalizedInsanity@mastodon.social This reads a little bit as if you're gatekeeping others having autism, but I'm sure that's not what you mean, right?

@hpod16@eupolicy.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu That's great! I hope this will inspire more instances to finally follow suit!

@alice@lgbtqia.space @evan@cosocial.ca I feel like I'm not completely understanding the issue here. These bots boost all posts tagged with a certain hashtag, right? One bot per hashtag. And that's all they do, right?
I assume the point of them is to make it so instances that the original post maybe isn't federating with, now also receive the post, right? But if that's the case, what's the issue? Are there instances you don't want to be able to see your post?
The point of a hashtag is to get more people to see your post, right? I ask this out of genuine curiosity, I hope I don't come across as "just asking questions" while downplaying your concern. That is not my intention.
@humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world @tofm2 @eunews@mastodon.social That is an extremely cynical thing to say.
@Willow@social.translunar.academy @winter@social.translunar.academy No problem, thanks for the clarification! I see what you mean now, and I hadn't seen this post (or I would've understood the parodic nature of the OP).
For what it's worth, yes, quite an overreach of the guy to want Mastodon.social to ban porn. And an unnecessary focus on LGBT porn to boot. I suppose there's something to be said for a flagship instance like that to not allow pornography, but there's no reason to single out LGBT porn.

@kitkat_blue This is not a question, and also seems quite a callous place to put this.

@rbreich I think it is strange to post a screenshot of a post you made elsewhere, rather than just copy–pasting the text here.
There, I said it. Yes, I am very brave. I could be a fireman. Or a war hero, perhaps. But here I am, posting opinions on Mastodon instead.

@kitkat_blue Careful. Don't let the cynicism take you. And don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

@jamoquanty@mastodon.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @tchambers@indieweb.social @deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org What... What are you trying to say here?
@rebootdeluxe@infosec.exchange Whoa, demanding, aren't you?
@Willow@social.translunar.academy @winter@social.translunar.academy Huh... Wait, so this is the admin of some instance, saying that no pornographic material is allowed on their instance, if I understand it correctly. That's... Fine and within their rights, right? 🤔🫣
@failedLyndonLaRouchite@mas.to @ombialik@mastodon.world So your argument is that because women didn't have a choice in the past and were basically forced to repair clothing, it is a good thing that it is considered a luxury hobby today?

@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social I've been using Mbin lately, instead of Lemmy, and I've been having good fun! I find it a bit more customizable than Lemmy. You could give it a try.
Honestly I'd look into what instance is closest to you, just to reduce latency. I'm on https://thebrainbin.org which is a German instance, so that works well for me.

@alice@lgbtqia.space I see, thank you for taking the time to respond. I can see how this would circumvent the blocks you had set up, yes. And I agree that having to personally ask him to add exceptions for those hashtags is not particularly workable.
What makes you say he is "in bed with" those companies, though? That seems strange for someone working on the ActivityPub protocol.

@winter@social.translunar.academy Who... Who are you talking to? Is this a parody? Ban heterosexuals from where? And because they might post offensice material? 😳
