schestowitz__PrivacyMatters 🔒 - 11 days agoMar 06 23:56
schestowitz__@Giacomo Sansoni Personally, I think that control on a singular user level is a different beast. I run my own private instance because I want that level of control for myself. It is my instance and as such I reserve the right to curate it as I see fit. That said, those decisions don’t end up censoring opposing views to the rest of the #Fediverse. To that end, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Diaspora and others <u>are</u> good.Mar 06 23:56
schestowitz__If, on the other hand, you subscribe to an instance, particularly one serving as a home to many users, and you are not the owner of the node, there remains the possibility that you could be censored or kicked off completely if the owner decides to do so. The major difference, absent everything else I have said, is that a corporate monolith isn’t silencing you at will and isn’t in control of your data.Mar 06 23:56
schestowitz__Just my thought. . . .Mar 06 23:56

schestowitz__@PrivacyMatters 🔒 @Giacomo Sansoni I disagree. #FediBlock completely kills the notion of "my server my rules".Mar 06 23:56

schestowitz__Daredevil Float - about an hour agoMar 06 23:56
schestowitz__@Giacomo Sansoni @PrivacyMatters 🔒 ie, why do you need a #FediBlock? if you disagree with the content just block on your own server, it’s that simple!Mar 06 23:56

schestowitz__The concept of working through social control media, be it federated or decentralised or free software, is problematic. IMHO, we had it better with RSS feeds.Mar 06 23:56
