Twitter really needs to stop censoring NSFW art.

Can also contact territory, state, fed reps to oppose censorship.

infrastructure.gov.au/have-your-say/… Aus Gov's doing a classification review. Maybe tell them not to censor fiction, i.e. anime, manga, drug ref. Maybe useful: utsa.edu/today/2020/08/… tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-ab… No link to bad.

A British politician going on about how they want to ban or censor porn or whatever only serves to underscore how out of touch they really are.

One project even used to use privacy a lot as a gimmick, which in fairness, who doesn't like privacy. Now, though, they're starting to lean into federation as a gimmick, which undermines privacy *a lot*.

From the start, I approached things from the angle of simplicity, performance, and security. Once you start tossing on lots of very random features, you end up distracting from the things which really matter. That is exactly one of the things about this market which I disliked.

Forum "federation" is a lot like trying to put a forum onto the "blockchain". A silly gimmick.

We received a handwritten list of books removed from Hernando classroom libraries based on “age appropriateness” for a specific grade. The books may still be allowed in the main library and available to students capable of reading them, but in the classroom they are restricted.

It's ridiculous for a site to need something like a phone number, and it is not strictly necessary at all.

Signal adopting usernames doesn't change the fact that they still require your phone number to create an account.

Sex dolls. Sex robots. Really just glorified mannequins.

This is not going to be a terribly active account but trying to ban particular kinds of mannequins to presumably be used for sex (although, the science is a lot less clear on that) invites a whole lot of other nonsense censorship as well, and it is unconstitutional.

Forums adopting "federation" is a stupid idea, and I've written about how it is a bad idea for many, many years. It greatly complicates moderation / rules in a way that is not helpful.

I'm not really working on this a whole lot right now, so there isn't a whole lot to say, than to take the time to retweet some civil liberties related stuff.

I'll just say one thing. This site needs to seriously work on it's free expression deficits.

@ddimolfetta The article you wrote is racist and misleading. I understand you used a third party source. Stop using them. Some sites in Japan have millions or tens of millions of users. A tiny amount of abusive content isn't entirely unexpected. Censorship violates human rights.

Censorship is still a bad thing.

The writing is on the wall with this site. It might not last long.

You should write to elected reps, state, and federal, to oppose censorship of anime, manga, Japanese light novels, and anything else in Australia. You should write to British MPs to oppose censorship of anime porn, manga porn, etc, and to scrap the OSB.

MUGEN SOULS has been Refused Classification (banned) in Australia under the automated International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) system. It was submitted by @eastasiasoft. #MugenSouls
