Just wanted to say thanks to the host of this instance.

The mini essay was a great idea. I definitely believe it will keep out at least some level of the riff and the raff. As much as people may dislike the idea of a gatekeeper, I believe it will make and keep the community much more fun, friendly, and useful.

I feel much more at ease on this service than on Reddit. I don't feel like I'm arguing with bots and trolls. Or dealing with bad actors and agitators. I'm discussing things. Reading the actual articles. And not doom scrolling. The nature of this service seems more organic.

Again. Thank you for your time and service to this (hopefully) growing community.

So, like, say, Usenet, we can't choose not to receive feeds on certain people/subs/etc ?

bah. I guess, whether we can or not, it's a lot of management to pick and choose ...

... and in selecting or filtering content don't we lose the section-230-like protections in USMCA as we're no longer just a carrier but a content moderator??

i'm not 100% sure what you're referring to, but as a user, you can block users & communities to your hearts content.

as an admin, i can block (defederate) from whole instances as well.
