yes, that’s why I put it in quotes. However given the diversity of culture and language there’s still going to be slurs that the predominantly English speaking mods will not be aware of, so users should be able to set their own filters.

Op’s take is not reasonable imo- if you think threats are harmful enough to prosecute they should also be harmful enough to censor.
Maybe a more soft form of censorship, such as hiding them behind a cw and a “user was vanned for this post” label rather than outright removal, but you can’t just do nothing.
My personal opinion is that for “edge cases” like cisgender, I should be the one who decides what “slurs” I see or don’t see on the feed, rather than some shmuck twitter mod who watched a YouTube video or whatever.
The thing is, I dislike censorship in general. Corporate or government. Yes it’s the corp’s prerogative, but we’re allowed to criticize corporate censorship and hypocrisy regarding censorship.
I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies run by billionaires while criticizing censorship by the government. They’re not that different.
That’s weird. The dollar signs come from the community do they not?
This thread is very nice great idea op
The main draw of telegram is not that it is secure it’s that it’s basically unmoderated. As a Russian I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with government censorship (dissent being equated to extremism and treason, LGBT advocacy equated to pedophilia) and it leads me to be deeply distrustful of the concept in a way similar to first amendment fanatics in the US (the first amendment is one of the uniquely good things about america you can’t get in other “civilized” “western” countries). I suspect durov might have similar sentiments (though ofc I don’t condone all the bad shit posted in the network and would prefer if it was moderated).
Still, whatever its faults, Telegram is the last remaining open social network in Russia where you can write whatever you like to a large audience and the government won’t be able to remove it. They censored and blocked pretty much all the other ones.

The obvious conjecture is that they were trying to commit fraud and get free copper
Stallman was right about everything
It’s so fucked up how the “know nothing” racist anti-papist freaks turned out to be correct and we actually did end up being oppressed by an unaccountable cabal of conservative Catholics (aka the supreme Court).
This is how Google started out, until like 2010-2015 it was wonderful. I think it’s just losing the seo slop arms race now tbh
in trouble with who?
You can’t just index mastodon, they’ll kill you!
I mean, if you want to withstand bumps and scrapes you need padding. But without a case you need the padding to be glued to the phone directly. The bulk remains the same no?
Why? It’s better to have the part most likely to suffer damage also be replaceable
Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.
