@teleclimber centralized moderation is a proven failure and is just getting worse over time. I like how decentralized platforms like Mastodon are in effect like submarines - you can isolate the broken parts (eg Gab) rather than letting every compartments get flooded.

Personal opinion of a Facebooker who personally would use its products only under duress

lgbt.io blocks over 200 instances.

One of these is social.privacytools.io, an instance whose primary purpose is to provide a platform for discussing how to protect themselves from corporate (think google/facebook) and government (think NSA & Edward Snowden) surveillance.

While blocking some instances can be understandable, this level of blocking is overkill. If you insist on listening to #FediBlock, the least you can do is contact the instance admins and try to work something out beforehand.

Since joining #fosstodon I've realised that #blogging isn't dead, and even more so during the #100DaysToOffload series. So I've shut down my medium account, bought a cool domain 😂 and been working on a Jekyll setup that works for me. I have a few interesting technical posts in the pipe but my introductory post is a nostalgic look at my life in games https://cyb.org.uk/2020/06/09/my-favourite-video-games.html . Some initial encouragement and comments may lead to more regular posts from me! 😆
