  • No server operator needs to federate with you.
  • No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
  • No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.

There is a lot of spite in your comment bro.

Yeah, so?

Jesus wasn't a carpenter either. He was the son of a carpenter and that more likely translates better to day laborer. It was a reflection of his very humble origins. Being the son of a man in a trade (like a carpenter) would have put him more middle class.

Who says that the person you replied to named themselves after that Jesus?

Jesus and his father were likely stone workers, not carpenters. The translations got jumbled up along the way.

There historically was a stone quarry about a mile from where Jesus lived as a child. That area also wasn't home to a lot of trees.

There is also a lot of house and stone work parables in the his teachings, and references to corner stones multiple times.

Jesus was a stone worker, not a wood worker. His name was also Yeshua, or "Joshua" as we know it today.
