I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

Bad takes are forever here. It's something I hate. Sometimes I'll comment on something and then end up deleting it because I just don't wanna get into it but it only deletes on your instance. I'll still get replies from everyone who can still see it.

Also is it still stupidly complicated to delete pics here?

The point is that because there is no vote tally you just have to assume everyone is a normal person, there is no scarlet letter on your account by having -2500 votes, you, the readers have to put in the effort to judge someone (or determine if they are a bot). Except for your accounts home instance, there is no badge that says someone posts to hexbear or someplace that is a bit off.

It does delete and propagate to other instances, but the process is not immediate. There can be some delay. I’ve had replies to deleted comments coming hours later if my instance was running behind.

Am I completely out of touch?

You're federated when you post here. There are definitely instances that are a bunch of nazis, a bunch of instances that are really dumb, and more. It's the internet. Everything you post is there forever. I like my instance, because it's the best I've found. Finding and identifying your home instance is more important than blocking users and communities. That will be the next step. Welcome human!

That might be an instance thing, sometimes instances are slow to update other instances, see my other comment for example.
