How do I block judgemental assholes?

Hi,

I don't want to see assholes with low IQ who cannot be bothered to look at the settings and documentation of the apps and websites they use and who'll judge others based on his own preconceptions and biases.

-- People choose to share nudes or go into porn for a very wide variety of reasons, and you should not be assuming anything about their self-esteem, dignity or self-worth, because you don't know them or anything about them other than they chose a different lifestyle than yours.

It's ok to not want to see it, you can turn it off in the setting or block the user/instance/domain that may be not properly tagging their adult content, but it is absolutely not ok to judge other users and insult them publicly just because you don't like their lifestyle.

 

I just switched to a different instance that is more focused on my interests (Cyber-sec and IT).

The process of creating a new account was as easy as before, but there is not really a migration path like in Mastodon, so I ended up editing my Bio to link the new profile, and adding Old at the end of my Display name. I then had to manually suscribe to all of the communities I was following before by searching for them by !communityname@instance, that part was too manual, too slow and definitely needs streamlining.

Some of the communities I followed before had never been accessed from my new instance, so I'll have to wait a bit to start seeing posts and comments, but that was expected as I am beginning to understand how federation works.

My old comments and posts will not be migrated (there's currently no way to migrate them), but that's ok, I plan on leaving the old account up for about a month.

All in all, not a terrible process, but exporting/importing followed communities/followers/followed users would be a very welcome addition for users looking to migrate to a different instance.
