MODERATORS
 

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online.

KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.

Your second paragraph is spot on, but you’ll never get those people to accept the damage they caused. Bringing it up just stirs up shit. Sucks.

It does, and it sucks even more because that's all the Fediverse is outside of a few rare instances. Love this tech but the echo chamber makes me feel like giving up on the Fediverse at least a few times per week.

Just know that plenty of ppl agree with you. We are just tired of constantly talking about it. If you find a good instance with free thinking, free speech loving, idea sharing people please let me know haha

For sure! I'm on a Mastodon instance called Retro Gaiden and while it's not free speech (because political discussions are banned), the owner is really laid back and there is literally a rule, "no discussing your sexual orientation". Basically, it's designed to be a no drama instance about discussing retro culture. I wish there were more instances like that!
