And yes, Bluesky, Mastodon, etc.’s distributed “anti-harassment” censorship is still censorship. “No you don’t get it, we’re not coercing anyone who believes anything deemed politically dissident by the government into silence. We’ve just classified all their views as abusive, harassment, and basically spam, which makes our coordinated suppression of your speech simply applying a flame/spam filter! And it’s not top-down moderation if we make a platform wide distributed spam filter we encourage everyone to opt-in to at the top level, until it grows to a size where our public inclusion of anyone who shares the wrong views (fuck it, or interacts with anyone who does) is meaningfully punitive on their reach. So you better self-censor if you don’t want your speech, I mean abusive spam, suppressed, but you better not call it that.” Cute except Timothy May called this line out in 1996—so you can rebrand censorship into whatever you’d like to fool FOSS devs, but calling it cypherpunk is not one you’ll win.

welcome to your first cancel,, remember milady never loses. thank you for your attn to this matter

You have no principles & no conception of harm. If you dont understand the consequences of a censored society you dont belong. Every time a Milady breaks from state-sponsored slave morality mindvirus an angel gets it wings. Free speech is a right & you lose it if you dont use it.

Interacted with a milady for the first time. Genuinely disgusting experience, makes me want to stay inside for the next 20 years. Just really gross, socially destructive stuff. I would orbital strike such people if I could.
