I just want to thank you for the endorsement. Our mods do work hard to make this a fun instance for everyone which can be challenging at times.

@freemo
No lor.sh 😢

@freemo
If someone has a spare vote for us (lor.sh) and believe that we're worthy of it, we'll be grateful 🙂

@freemo
It is the most stupid idea I heard in a while.

Your site is blocked for hundred of instances and STILL you recommend a stronger blocker.

There's a reason why our species still has trouble with COVID...

@Ash

@freemo
It really looks cool.
We've finally got guarantee and I've spent some time spreading our guarantees and some endorsements too.

Also I've just wrote a feature request for it which I think could be useful for instances with more flexible moderation policies than usual:

@freemo

You misspelled maroons.

@freemo that’s pretty cool! The last digital chess board I had died long long ago 😔

@freemo

Hadn't heard of this, but this look super cool. Please let us know how you like it.

@freemo
I expected for it to move the pieces automatically 😢

@freemo
"1) I havent seen the barbie move"

@freemo I mentioned it the other day. It's a masterpiece.

@freemo
Now I’m outraged about the lack of outrage. I’m also middle-aged and white, so there’s that.

@freemo

No matter what you choose, someone will hate you for it.

Stop trying to win hearts. You'll just end up pulling carts.

Think for yourself, don't pick answers off a shelf.

@freemo

There are no extremist Democrats. There are, however, some extremists on the left who are trying to take over the Democratic Party.

@freemo shouldn't it be 98% or it implies that 1% of moderates will hate you too?

@freemo
This one is good. 😆

@freemo Correction: calling yourself nonbinary creates a true binary system by adding another digit, creating a system.

@freemo ...I thought they said they fixed it?

@freemo what about the chance of a child being traumatized by a school shooting? Surely that's far higher.

@freemo

No. A child in a school is not likely to be killed by lightning because they are indoors.

Most fatal lightning strikes occur outdoors near trees.

@freemo
@lonelyowl why did you do that?

@freemo oh loooool, did they see original cover? :blobcatlul:

@freemo I cannot believe these are serious comments. I hope this is just cherry picking some trolls.

@freemo is it some kind of joke i am not american enough to understand?

@freemo @protecttruth
I did not know that about banning guns = more homicide. What country or countries were studied for that result? Thanks!

@freemo I do not meant to discourage you, but I believe that there have been multiple attempts on solving this issue, various covenants I think they were called.

Therefor my question is how this "United Federation of Instances" would be any different from prior works and how it would be successful in achieving it's goal.

@freemo You might wish to talk with @pixel about his past experiences (I have no knowledge on whether he'd want to take any part, but he might have valuable information he'd want to share due to having written https://github.com/pixeldesu/fediverse-friendly-moderation-covenant).

@freemo why not just publish the draft first and have the discussion in the open? I would think you could generate more interest that way.

Have you reached out to other instance admin about this?

I feel like this could result in some negative unintended consequences. De-federation, and the social threat of de-federation is the main tool to apply pressure to instance admins that are not sufficiently moderating their community.
This seems it would make that process harder.

@freemo god bless and have a good day, sir

@freemo do you believe the statistics (engagement rate)? Can you quantify this in correlative revenue?

@freemo
With the "former guy" being reinstated, I did one last "birdsite note" and included a direction to qoto, if my followers are STEM oriented and not sure what instance to jump onto.

Appreciate your admin/mod work!

@freemo I say go for it, if it gets seen more, and you get more sales, unless this is all just a joke but if you're really trying to sell something I say take advantage of it as much as you can.

@freemo Have things really started breaking? Can't see the graphs so was curious what's disintegrating as ew speak

@freemo If an admin of a #stem instance didn't post a correlation now and then, I think we'd be concerned. Have a great weekend doc.
