Oha, dieses #fediverse ist doch einfach nur kaputt 😢
Der dritte Account der uns einfach gesperrt wurde, ohne Vorankündigung. So macht das hier alles keinen Sinn mehr. Instanzen blocken sich und User werden einfach gekickt, ohne dass man darüber spricht was das Problem ist.
Bullshit. Constantly referring to results published nowhere from a study that never took place remains bullshit.
Reduce ocean swells, killing surfing.
Bullshit. You would have to build a literal wall of turbine towers to stop ocean swell, which developes over hundreds of kilometres. The best surf involves ocean swell and offshore winds, which simply can't be affected by offshore wind turbines.
Reduce onshore winds by 40%.
Bullshit. There is no indication that wind turbines reduce onshore winds. The wind continues past the turbine blades, they don't block it; they don't even slow it down by any reasonable measure. A couple of hundred metres past the turbine you can't measure any effect at all.
Reduce fishing catches.
Bullshit. The tower bases, buried in the ocean bed, provide safe places for fish nurseries and coral growth, increasing the local fish population.
Don't buy into the disinformation being spread in order to stop offshore wind turbine installations. Look at who benefits from them not going ahead.
After the discovery of a racist account yesterday, @PSiReN went through other accounts on the instance and discovered the instance is a cesspit of racism, including constant use of the N word, and accusations that minorities are criminals.
Therefore Syzito.xyz is defederating from its first instance, @mugicha.club.
What is normal etiquette in these circumstances, should we ping their admin? #Mastodon#Admin#Fediblock
Free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever inflammatory thing that's on your mind without pushback. If someone disagrees or takes offense, they are well within their rights to respond. Also, publications and social media platforms shouldn't be forced by the government to platform people whose ideas run counter to theirs or go against their standards. Compelled speech is not free speech.

• People are having fun. People clearly missed using Twitter to shitpost.
• There are no norms yet. Nobody uses content warnings, nor is there a built-in feature for content warnings.
• Nobody uses alt text. Nobody gets scolded for not using alt text. Right now, Bluesky seems like a nightmare for blind and low-vision people.
• It's eery to see known abusers on Bluesky who I've had blocked for years, without the ability to block them.
• It's only a matter of days before violent right-wing accounts like Ady Ng show up on Bluesky. They WILL be allowed on, and they WILL build large followings, and the content moderation and privacy tools of Bluesky are not yet up to the task.
Seriously though, fedi was built by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is the reason the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
