No, no—moderators aren’t all-powerful. They do important work, but they also have very real limits.
Administrators, on the other hand, carry much greater authority.
And just because someone doesn’t get along with another person doesn’t mean they’re automatically entitled to that person’s spaces. What I find appealing about the Fediverse is precisely that ability to manage the whole stack myself—without waiting on a distant company like Meta or X to make those decisions for me.
Of course, I could be banned for saying this. But since this thread is about me, and about my upcoming plans, I think it’s only fair that I share them openly.
It seems like you want yo choose how you are seen and have a eorld that includes others but has no room for them to take any agency. You’re big on concept that things are owned.
I believe my work should remain my own, and I should have the freedom to choose who I associate with. The only way to guarantee that—both practically and legally—is by covering the cost of the server myself.
And you absolutely have your own agency as well. It just means you may need to exercise it in a space that’s a better fit for you.
Im not saying you need to associate with anyone in particular, im saying you might be saying that to paper over some seriously fucked/unhealthy attitudes towards what people are amd what you want from them. They’re not toys. You can curate, but even the closest collaborators will have differences that need resolving. Saying that rwsolution must always fit uour exact vision if even a small part of the world is pretty fuvked up.

TIL using a colloquialism is the same thing as not getting along.
You and I disagree on whether it’s just a harmless colloquialism.
I don’t like bro-talk. Because bro-talk feeds bro culture—and bro culture is something I want no part of.
And according to you that disagreement also means we don’t get along. Because otherwise you wouldn’t be banning people for saying bro, bro.
You would be correct.
Ah, so…

Generally speaking, I get along with people just fine. But I also believe you need to have principles. Without them, what do you really stand for?
What does standing for anything have to do with this?
