@lowqualityfacts Fuck'em if they can't take a joke.

@lowqualityfacts @robfrominternet or, as my friends in the Gypsy Jokers motorcycle club would say, “Joke ‘em if they can’t take a fuck.”

@lowqualityfacts It's snowing and ChatGPT told me it could be dangerous to go outside.

@lowqualityfacts This represents a small subset of users on Mastodon that I particularly don’t enjoy. You’re free to use your feed and your account as you’d like, why try to regulate the way others use theirs?

@brianhough @lowqualityfacts The problem is that small subset of people make up most of the admins of large instances and have most of the power in shaping #Mastodon for the rest of us.

@thesuperpapagai @brianhough @lowqualityfacts at some point they will block their way out of relevance once it's members realize they can't follow whoever they want as promised, and they will devolve into a culturally incestial outlier of an instance.

@lowqualityfacts Trying to get a steamy frothing groupmad going here is silly. Algorithmic boosted ragefests in the fediverse would kinda need people to cooperate wouldn't they?

@lowqualityfacts Or just switch instances and let it be at that.

@lowqualityfacts
To be blocked by a self-righteous, easily offended, sanctimonious person is to be worn as a badge of honor. I firmly believe that the easily offended, usually need to be.
How often we tend to confuse offensiveness with cruelty. There’s a HUGE difference.
I say to this person(s) of whom you speak,
“Pull my finger.”

@lowqualityfacts “Thanks for the heads-up. This kind of change is too disruptive for me to absorb at the moment, but I’m keeping an eye on it.”
…is what a coward like me would say.

@lowqualityfacts

PREACH!!

@lowqualityfacts I feel like there are certain types of people who try to find whatever awful things they can about something as a hobby, like they're trying to ruin people's fun on purpose.

@Elizafox there absolutely are and it sucks

@lowqualityfacts this is why i'm glad you can't list a user's favorites on mastodon, and why i'm glad the first two servers i joined were simultaneously mostly uncontroversial and pretty chill moderation-wise

if everyone i interacted with had to be completely "uncancellable" i'd be pretty lonely tbh

@lowqualityfacts (not to mention, I'm almost certainly cancellable)

@lowqualityfacts I love the people who issue ultimatums in this vein. My response is typically "The person forcing me to make the decision I shouldn't even have to make is never the one I will choose."

If you want to inform me someone I like did something shitty, fine, but if I boycott everyone & everything who has ever done any kind of wrong, I would cease to exist in this reality.

@lowqualityfacts this sort of discourse - the ordering relatively new members here to do things that they maybe don't even know how to do yet - is one of the things that sometimes bums me out about the fediverse. I get wanting to be socially conscious but yes I am also very tired and I can't monitor everything

@acerbicotter @lowqualityfacts I saw someone bullied into editing their toot the other day because it tangentially mentioned the fediverse in the context of a larger complaint and that person took offense.

@lowqualityfacts But what if they give up their drum machine?

@lowqualityfacts people like this turn small communities like the LGBT* one into mental straitjackets for people who are already exhausted from the shit we have to put up with in our daily lives. when i see it i just wonder--why are you doing this?? why add yet another burden to marginalized people's lives? this need to control every aspect of my life--from what i read to the words i use to the people i fail to denounce--is working against the goal of liberation. i do not feel liberated. do you?

@lowqualityfacts i did have to flee an instance after torches and pitchforks came out

@lowqualityfacts yep. Wouldn't hurt if most of these people looked in the mirror occasionally too. Stopping at calling them hypocrites would be polite and very restrained.

@lowqualityfacts

I want everybody to take a moment here and think of the busybodies. Now that church attendance is in decline, they have no where else to morally police people.

#TeamMoralColonoscopy

@lowqualityfacts

Only here 5 months and already fed up with the blanket targeting of instances. Unless there's only five people using it and you personally know all of them maybe just worry about yourself, huh?

@lowqualityfacts Agreed. People can miss me with the Neo-Puritanism and cop-cosplaying. #NoPolice #NiqueLesFlics

@lowqualityfacts

Some things are genuinely offensive, but some people are permanently stuck in offended mode. It is exhausting.

@lowqualityfacts this type of mindset is terrible to have. Nobody know what's going to be the good or 'right' thing to have done from the futures perspective. Society changes but the past doesn't. There's no sense in "canceling" everything about a person because of one thing they did. Everyone makes mistakes and nobody's perfect. we don't have to throw the good away with the bad. You're not gonna fix anybody by boycotting them and alienating them. A little bit of grace can go a long way.

@plainoldcheese @lowqualityfacts some people just need to learn the hard way.

@lowqualityfacts okay but fuck substack

@lowqualityfacts I had some idiot once report me for daring to say that not all cops are assholes.

@ShredderFeeder @lowqualityfacts when they could have just disagreed. as i do. i won't report you tho

@wagesj45 @lowqualityfacts you are more than welcome to report me. It's my server. ;-)

"All" is an absurd generalization. The cop who pulled me over to tell me all of my tail lights were out, not to cite me, but to inform me, was helpful. I had no idea.

@lowqualityfacts
As #AmyPoehler's character says in her movie Wine Country; some people are BORN offended.

@lowqualityfacts I genuinely have no fuckin idea what goes on in my instance I just joined it because the first one I picked at random died

is this like zipcode shaming

@lowqualityfacts . I can't, i'm boycotting outside.

@lowqualityfacts
‘HOA Karen’s’ are everywhere

@lowqualityfacts Hear hear. I'm so sick and tired of performative virtue signaling.

@flockofnazguls @lowqualityfacts

I got this summary from ChatGPT:
So, social media ends up being a fascinating mix of exposing too much and pretending to be pure. It's like a virtual venue where people simultaneously strip off their filters and put on their halos

@lowqualityfacts This was fine until you ruined it with marginal connections to things I’ve heard I shouldn’t like

@lowqualityfacts Popular culture now views everything as Blockchain. If you did some minor, inconsequential thing 20 years ago, it will affect you now and in the future, but only if someone connects the past to the present in the ledger.

Unless it was a prosecutable crime, STFU and worry about YOUR sins in the Blockchain.

@lowqualityfacts sometimes, a problem corrects itself by blocking you. Got to love that.

@lowqualityfacts Ugh, have you *been* to Outside? It's horrible. The wifi is spotty at best. The lights don't work right, they're either too bright, too dim, or off altogether. And the HVAC is all kinds of broken. Don't even get me started on the plumbing and whatever is going on with the sprinkler system. Nope, Outside is canceled.

@lowqualityfacts

"We are so tired. Please go outside."

OMG this is the best!

@lowqualityfacts

Blocked, blocked, blocked!!!!

@lowqualityfacts um, excuse me, this is a high quality opinion, and I feel deceived by your user name. I need you to stop or I might think I’m not the most important person in my own head.
