• Roland: Few things are as dangerous and nasty as selfishness in the guise of ‘for the sake of someone else’…
• Angela: I think I know what you mean. The determination to work for the good of others can be a dreadful and loathsome weapon. They’re blinded by self-righteousness, and have no regards for their surroundings. They don’t care what happens to others. They justify themselves for pressing forward pursuing their justice, crushing everything in their way…

From Library of Ruina. The song “And Then Is Heard No More” from the OST touches on similar themes, go look up the lyrics if you’re intrigued

Weird, it doesn’t work for me for some reason, I have to manually go into the “subscribed” tab each time. Also my point about not being able to subscribe to entire instances still stands. For instance(heh) bookwormstory.social is an instance dedicated to discussing a specific book series and currently has like 5 communities, and I’d have no way of knowing when they started a new community unless I manually checked.

Interesting that everyone here wants to operate their feed on a blacklist basis. Personally I’d love the opposite, to be able to subscribe to instances or specific communities and only get content from those. The main reason I used Reddit over anything else is because it only showed you posts from subs you subscribed to.

I’m not using beehaw and probably never will. I don’t want to be in a “safe space” as they put it. That said, I totally understand that some people want that sort of community, it’s their decision, and thanks to federation anyone who disagrees can just leave. If you’re complaining about them defederating from you - you’re probably part of the reason they did.

That said, it would be really helpful to have some sort of icon next to posts/comments that are defederated from your instance, just so you don’t waste your time responding to them when they can’t see it.

“The website is temporarily down.” ironic lol
