No problem. It's worth checking what rw has said about its history. https://robek.world/featured/what-is-gnu-social-and-is-mastodon-social-a-twitter-clone/
My impression is that aside from one or two, most of it isn't real. We're not really nazis here, people just like to shitpost images of it but don't hold to its philosophy at all. From what I've seen, some newcomers also like to test their boundaries, and then when they realise that we're not blocking them then they are surprised and grateful. Whether they remain is a different matter. I think a lot of shitposting is either for fun or a reaction to an event. Maybe both. Of course, often people become the 'other'/out-group, and then get labelled the worst someone can imagine like nazis... and dilute the meaning of that. It's one of my problems with it.

Dear instance admins, I am the moderator for both sealion.club and freezepeach.xyz. I would like to reach out to you in the interests of compiling a few lists relating to whether our instances can communicate or not.
It is in the interests of transparency, so that I can help my users by letting them know whether they can communicate with your instance or not. We don't yet have a visible way of knowing, and therefore I think it can cause confusion and frustration as I know it has for me. It has also come to my attention that knowing this helps for debugging purposes for admins, so we know whether it is a block or a bug messing things up. It saves time to know, and we can move onto making things better on our instances.
I am still thinking how best to make things transparent, my intent is not to create a 'target list'... but to let my users know why they are having trouble contacting your instance if they are. That way they can decide what to do with that information, perhaps if they want to communicate then they can join another instance as well. I like to encourage people to join more than one, so they remain connected to the fediverse if something happens to their main one.
I am considering creating a public list of instances that have us outright blocked and the reason for why. I also have two other lists, one for a reference point for the admins and a newer one for my personal reference point of everyone I know who can still communicate with us. I can use these two lists for clarity when people ask as well, as I know we've had a few users asking already.
That is where you come in. In the interests of this list remaining civil, I want to include your reason for domain blocking (This is a full block of our domain) or domain sandboxing (This is where we don't appear on the public TL, but can communicate if your users follow us) us so I can get it accurate and neutral. I also want to hear from you if you don't, so I can add you to the list for my personal reference point which may also help in debugging issues.
If you have any concerns, please get in touch with me about them.
Once again, I would appreciate if people can re-post this out, or bring it to the attention of your admins. If you can point me in the right direction to communicate, that will also be helpful and make things quicker for me, especially in regards to mastodon instances. Thank you for your time and for reading this.

In the interests of transparency for my users at Sealion.club and freezepeach.xyz, I would like to reach out to the admins on other instances... if you have any type of block on our instances, please can you get in contact with me? I would like to know what type of block and the reason why so I can compile a list to inform my users that they can't interact with your instance.
I would appreciate people re-posting this, to bring it to the attention of more people in the fediverse. Thank you for your time.

"Because of my phobia, you must change your behaviour and content warn that so I feel better."
How about no? I'm not here to make you feel better about yourself, or to change my own behaviour to accommodate you. That's not fun for me. That might even set me off instead of you.
I don't go around expecting you to change your behaviour to accommodate me, so stop telling me that I have to for yours.
If I have genuinely triggered you while talking to you, then if you politely tell me to stop because of this reason then I will refrain from mentioning it in your mentions. But my timeline is mine. You're better off not associating with me, or finding other coping mechanisms when things get rough. I can sympathise with you, but I'm not going to change my behaviour for you here.
Phobias or panic attacks suck. I get that. But if a mention of something upsets you, then I'm not sure that public social media is the right place to be. If you don't want to cut yourself off completely, then taking it in short bursts and taking breaks when it becomes too much are ideal rather than expecting everyone else to accommodate you.

mfw I came here to escape the toxicity of censorship and identity politics that has ruined twitter... only to have people come over here because twitter hasn't been ruined enough for them and they want to ruin this place instead to get their desired outcome. But they fail to grasp that their desired outcome creates a toxic environment for the people within it.

So this is data-mining, yes? This is mastodon social.

I think I would hate to be in a space where I couldn't voice my opinion without people constantly telling me that my opinions are disrespectful/hurt them. It would be like, "For fuck's sake... can I not say anything without people imposing their hurt feelings onto me here?"
I'm sure that I could say all sorts of things are "offensive", but that wouldn't get me anywhere... I would be a crippling mess if I let opinions impact me all the time, I would have to constantly police the people around me which makes me not very fun... and it would be an awful environment for everyone involved.
I think we need to move away from offence culture... take the responsibility for our own hurt feelings and sort them out without policing others. Of course, if someone is intentionally being disrespectful towards you, then I can understand that... but then they want you to be offended. Then you have other tools to help there, like you can insult them back or disengage from them. You don't have to like them either.
Though I do find that if you remain polite, sometimes people will change their tune... you can have serious and interesting conversations on certain topics. And some people do have personalities that are more likely to be rude compared to others, it's how they approach the situations. Again, there are ways to handle that. Once you understand how someone operates, you can adjust accordingly. The problem comes when you expect others to adjust to you... it isn't going to work that way if they don't want to. You end up adding expectations or demands on them. People don't usually respond well to that, depending on how you tell them.

Words don't make you unsafe, actions do.

It's a shame when people get too busy or bored of GS, and so they decide to leave. It means less activity and people, and that is what a social media site needs in order to spice things up a lot.

If I want to create a professional business website, what would you guys recommend that I learn?
I would like to use as much freedom software as possible, I think.
