@rysiek

Surely they mean they are taken aback by their host's age and maturity.

@rysiek 😂​ I most certainly do not but then I'm not trying to cosplay being a 13yo boy on the internet.

@rysiek Yes, I do. Because I *am* the sole admin and mod, and thus actually need to do stuff to keep this running ;)

@rysiek I dont really understand what they mean :blobcatgiggle:

For example: Twitter is just one platform with a set of rules, if you dont like or follow them you are out

The Fedi has thousands and thousands of different servers with each their own rules so always something for you or even setup your own and you are still connected to the whole network :blobcatgiggle:

Soo yeah, i dont understand what they mean

@rysiek :blobcathug:

@rysiek If I'm a willing hostage of my instance admin, is that still a hostage situation?

@rysiek not me, i'm a social media mountain man, ascending those cold peaks all by my rugged individualist lonesome self to trap & skin memes. only time i come down to civilization is to sell my wares. i don't need no mods to tell me what to do

@rysiek Nothing stops anyone from migrating to a server more in line with their values. Exactly no one is a hostage here. XD

Now if your values are garbage, that does mean you probably don't get a megaphone to blast them in everyone's ear and that seems to make a certain type very whiny, because they don't seem to like being in a room with people of their type any more than the rest of us.

@rysiek Not sure if I mentioned it but I'm building a tool people can use to move their content to new instances (since Mastodon only migrates follows). I felt a bit "held hostage" when my content focused account ran into problems with instance admin and I realised how tough it'd be to move. Can only presume that's what they're talking about.

In any case, a test version should be out within a week or so. Testing it myself at the moment to migrate 140 posts with images and video.

@rysiek weird, I thought I was the hostage in this situation. :)

@rysiek I don't :) Our admin does his best to keep the instance going. I met rather friendly people in fedi.

@rysiek I don't, but I'm pretty sure someone will try to convince me that my instance server is in Stockholm :)

@rysiek
The admin in my instance is an ass he censors me and ban me 6 every 7 days, today it's my only day I can post. :OOOP:

@rysiek i absolutly dont have the feeling that my masto admin is taking my account hostage

@rysiek *blinks twice*

@rysiek honestly like the notion of having an instance vibe.

@rysiek
I'm my own admin (single user instance) so yay, I feel pretty much taken hostage by me... 🤣

@rysiek They crave for reach and they will say any bullshit necessary until they dominate common sense in their little capitalist garden.

Dr Flowerology.

@rysiek My admin totally holds me hostage. (I am my own admin…)

@rysiek My admin likes to hang out in my town for a few weeks a year. If he takes me hostage I'll let ya'll know.

That is if he lets me post on the internet....

Please send help. And craft beer.

@rysiek How is that even possible?

@rysiek @oblomov where is this blog post?

@rysiek @tchambers Nope. But I set up my own instance since moving accounts including their identity and timeline data isn’t possible, which, to me, would make it too costly. I’m not aware of another way to own my content here. Hence, I can follow that argument, at least partially.
