Is this screenshot from the VPN video?
I’m pretty sure it is, but with the captions changed
Also having to have “the talk” so they don’t get freaked out when they first see those instances.
I love that you can just interact with people who’ve been brainwashed by different propaganda from yourself on here. It can give you perspective on your own inherent biases, even if they’re not as severe as giving the ML Pass to dictators who are not even vaguely communist.
Blocking hexbear has nothing to do with a difference in ideas. Hexbear gets blocked because it hosts communities of some of the most obnoxious, unrepentant trolls known to the internet. Lemmygrad and .ml get blocked because said trolls made alts when instances got fed up and defederated from hexbear.
It’s like the Khmer Rouge’s version of 2004s era /b/. There is nothing to be gained from interacting with those people.
And if/when you’re sick of it, you can block it all by server, as opposed to centralized social media where you have to block every nazi sock puppet in the universe individually.
I actually have .world blocked because it gets tiresome interacting with people who assume that your country is somehow subject to US cultural norms and laws by default.
Ye it’s a bit of a tough sell. “Yeah it’s great!.. once you block these specific instances… yeah, see the trouble with having social media decentralized in a way that anyone can spin up an instance means that anyone can spin up an instance… including people you maybe wish wouldn’t…”
I absolutely love tom scott! His videos and content have really spotlighted the good side of Creators and education + entertainment.
Good to see him on memes now, such an icon!
And bird photographers somehow?
You mean the systematic recording of birds, their behaviors, and making documentation about them and how their environment is doing?
Believe it or not, still the anarchist programmer catgirls.
Investigating birds is cat behavior.
