Trying to rebuild the database now

Due to issues following a brief power outage my Matrix server is temporarily offline. I'll keep https://thisisjoes.statuspal.io/ updated.

The following instances have been silenced and posts from their users will no longer show up in the public timeline:

twimblr.xyz
sinblr.com
humblr.social

Too many accounts from these instances post untagged and unmarked porn.

@thufie Looks like it does have a webpage. It just doesn't handle non-secure requests properly. https://blurts.net/main/all

@grips DNS blocking and rerouting, port blocking, IP blacklisting, SNI filtering, DoS and DDoS attacks, DMCA abuse, search engine manipulation, registrar banning, etc.
Technology has only increased the ways in which censorship can be enacted.

@grips
>That aside, the funniest thing is that censorship isn’t an actual thing that’s really possible
with the advent of the internet and file sharing.

The author is either willfully misrepresenting this or laughably naive.

@sir @erdnaxeli what a ridiculous and immature response

@matrix
If you aren't aware there's an entire subreddit for this.

@sir @tn5421@niu.moe I guess I really did miss the point of your article.

@sir @tn5421@niu.moe Which statement is untrue?

If your main point is that IRC should not attempt to emulate other chat protocols I agree with that. IRC has a useful place and it's own advantages, and those shouldn't be ignored.

@sir @tn5421@niu.moe I don't think that we should reject advanced features only because they don't benefit all users equally. The TUI fallback example you showed seemed quite reasonable.

In fact with the right shell images and other rich media can be displayed in a terminal window.
