If you stray from world, things are a bit better. World, however, hasn’t seen a ban or anti-free speech action they didn’t embrace fully. World is a cesspool of smug libs that refuse to engage with anyone they perceive to be on their left or right.

It’s a valid claim, IMO. The libs leaving Twitter all seem to be VERY into Orwellian practices like “official block lists” and other absurd self-owns.

Yeah that’s true. Still, it’s an ad.

Looks like a holiday ad disguised as a news story.

World admins tend to engage in censorship, blocking, and banning of ANY viewpoints that don’t support their compromised world views.

They aren’t even aware that they are enthusiastic supporters of actual fascists because those fascists have figured out how to manipulate their actions using identity politics and fearmongering.

It’s fine. I’m sure I contributed somewhat o the misreading of the tone too. Namaste, my friend.

Conal’s point is that no, in fact there are almost zero programmers that fully understand even the simplest Python code since it is a dynamically typed language.

Here’s where I heard it.

Defederation from hexbear.net happened quickly and with very little debate. The mods on world ADORE censorship. They are almost worse than even the censorship on Reddit. If you’re too left or right wing for them, you’re going to have a very bad time. It’s forced centrism through putting up unavoidable blinders and it is the kneejerk reaction of that instance (and a few others).

Same with hexbear. They banned me for not being left wing enough. This behavior is more toxic than a place where all are allowed to communicate IN GOOD FAITH and are only censored or banned when it is ABSOLUTELY the only option to move forward. Hiveminds are bad. Banning people and defederation is utterly anathema to the intended purpose of the fediverse. Anyone who supports censorship should take a step back and think humbly and deeply about what they are doing, smugly preventing others from expressing their opinions.

Are you sure? In my experience, they defederate from each other.
