@vease I asked the facilities guy to turn down the zircon in our corner office.

People complained that it was too cold.
They're not complaining now. Our corner is a chilly oasis in the hot desert of our building.

Today I got my new phone, so Elliott the #cat has been my test subject for photos.

I mean, I understand that all these points are privacy and FOSS concerns, but that's taking it a bit far.

Did RMS write this?

Oof. Trying to churn through a weeks worth of meal-prep.
Once that's done, housework!

I understand, but please bear in mind: I will always block instances that are antithetical to the rules of my instance.

They're not hard rules to follow, and its my belief that if you can't follow rules of basic human decency, I will not give you a platform.

This is both an idealistic and practical approach. Nazis, racists, homophobes and bigots get cut off before they have a chance to affect my instance, or those connected to it.

@masterofthetiger
I'll bite.
I blocked cyzed because:

I believe it promotes the #gab brand.

I don't want to interact with racists and bigots.

I don't want a platform that keeps the gab branding (whilst actively federating with the main gab instance) to be able to interact with me, or find other instances via mine.

Finally, I blocked it because that's my choice as this instance's admin.

I believe in free speech, I really do, but people have to remember: https://xkcd.com/1357/

@vease

I have instance-blocked cyzed.com, as it's another #gab instance.

@angristan
Do we have an up-to-date list of domains/ip's to block?

@igeljaeger
Ugh.
