I think that having a choice about what instance you join and whether it’s liberal or conserative about defederating is the beauty of federation. someone might want to be on an instance that’s quick on the trigger about banning for transphobia, racism, etc, because they’re going through some shit in their lives, and later want to experience the greater variety of an instance where banning takes more consideration.

Like, I think you’re right about what you want for you, but people wanting different things and being able to get it is pretty great.

Whenever I’m reminded it exists, I go over there and find some people to follow. So, thanks!

Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it’s happened.

Is it against playstore rules to say in the description they can get it for free elsewhere? I do see how it could be or feel unethical, if people aren’t aware.

The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn’t seem to have access to everything at the moment. It’s a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that’s how projects like this go sometimes.

The one I still feel guilt over was a time when i found out someone had left an animal trap loaded when they left for vacation. There was a live raccoon in it. I know I shouldn’t’ve carelessly opened it, but I should’ve done something. Even killing it would’ve been kinder. I carry that one with me, to remind me to act when I can. I’m still bad at it, but I try.

The other day I told a customer I could smell gas in her apartment, and even though I feel like a dumbass because it wasn’t a leak (probably lingering smell from them moving an appliance and hitting it on and off by accident), I don’t regret mentioning it. Sometimes I just am going to be an obnoxious jackass about that stuff.
