@muffinista Actually the more I think about it, and having read other comments on this poll, the more I'm leaning towards listing them again.

I think the argument that people can just me/block boots that irritate them is a good one, and it's also putting that choice back into individuals (or instance admin) rather than make it for them.

Hoi mannen… (en ook vrouwen, ik ken ze, maar deze keer was het, helaas, weer een man).

Wanneer je partner duidelijk aangeeft geen kinderwens te hebben heb je je daarbij neer te leggen, het te accepteren en verder te gaan óf een punt achter je relatie te zetten en op zoek gaan naar een partner die wel die wens deelt.

Interesting interview by #Time with @Gargron, the founder of Mastodon, and some saner views about #freespeech vs #hatespeech and #moderation on social networks

My own country also places #humandignity top of the list, so we similarly prohibit hate speech, #revengeporn etc by law.

But true that any #Fediverse server sets its own rules and that will decide how it federates or not, by democracy and #freechoice. No-one bans the instance.
