@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss Exactly

@Viss I guess an alternate reading of the data is it only takes 3% to make a space extremely toxic :/

[viss@mastodon.social]

@aburka it would seem to be the case, yeah - and reading between the lines tells me that folks would rather suffer and complain than do anything about it

[defractal@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I think that, plus the absence of engagement maximizing algorithms, plus the absence of “suggested” or “promoted” content, plus the absence of ads and thus revenue sharing, plus the ability to choose an instance by its moderation and (de)federation, explains the healthier discourse in fediverse. That 3% quickly get themselves banned on any instance the rest of us would choose, and find themselves relegated to the instances with which ours won’t federate. And then no one sees their toxicity but their fellow denizens of the cesspool servers.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@Viss that sounds right

[0xtero@ohai.social]

@deFractal @Viss in fediverse the social cost of migration to a server with better moderation is extremely low. But for other places that cost is skyhigh because most of the time it means leaving your community. And as twitter shows, things can get really shitty and people will still stay.

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@Viss Just one more reminder that community and proper moderation are vital.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ZenHeathen yup

@Viss naming suggestion “404 NOT FOUND”

@Viss my old neighbor had a bluetooth soundbar in his man cave that i could connect to because it was open auth, so i used to drop in and blast “Hello” by Adele every so often.

[h2onolan@infosec.exchange]

@Viss who remembers upsidedownternet

[viss@mastodon.social]

@SecureOwl heh, yeah in this case it wont pair but it stops whatever im watching, which is annoying

[k3ym0@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I mean aren’t you curious though? What exactly are they watching? Perhaps they want to simply share it with you ;)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@k3ym0 yeah thats the opposite of whats happening. if they control my chromecast they control what i watch

[fritzadalis@infosec.exchange]

@SecureOwl @Viss
THAT WAS YOU?!

[neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org]

[davemwilburn@infosec.exchange]

@Viss @k3ym0

Aren't you even a little curious what fun things your neighbors want to share with you?

[wav3@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I identify with this but my brain instructs me to complete a task unrelated to the deadline

@Viss It’s the modern equivalent of “Hey Peter, man, check out channel 9! Check out this chick!”
