In Spain this actually exists.

Their assistants, lobbyists and whisperers know.

You mean vigilante-style attacks on healthband life because you oppose their world view? You Germans have come full circle.

OK but why ask for curated blocking (defederation, censorship) when you can decide what you want to see? Emails as protocol works despite the spam.

To everyone downvoting this because you can’t stand your opinion being challenged:

I invite you to a discussion here.

PD: I am here in the Fediverse because I like to challenge other opinions as much as being challenged, this is how we, how humanity grows, learns and evolves. I’m not here to live in a safe space/echo-chamber and being reassured, this would be boring and mind-numbing.

Get out there, learn new things, test your opinions, ideals and biases against others and see how they evolve.

How about you curate your own filters and take care of your own filter-bubble (or echo-chamber for that matter)? The beauty of the Fediverse is that there’s no central instance to censor or dictate the course.

Start your own instance if you dislike the open marketplace of opinions.

I ditched Reddit a few weeks ago for other reasons (I am going full FOSS/decentralised services). My Reddit account was 11 years old, I don’t miss it at all.

Nice to see smaller form factors coming back.

At least that’s what I hope. There are a few things we need to roll back though: Messaging needs to be decentralised again (think what jabber/xmpp did, federation between Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc etc).

There’s a reason email still lives as a protocol despite all it’s flaws and shortcomings: Decentralisarion and interoperability. The Fediverse can give us, the uses, the control (back) of what once was the free and open internet (usenet, gopher, ftp, http, smtp, etc).

Actually we’re in a fork of reality where the plot from Tron kinda happened, only there’s not one MCP… There’s Meta, Google, Amazon, Reddit et al who disowned us users, served us non-open, centralised websites and services.

Done some weeks ago already. Reddit is increasingly suffering from what Doctorow calls enshittyfication and that led me to delete my account.
