Instances block SPC because they use Dzuk's Blockchain. The Blockchain doesn't have any evidence but links to https://github.com/MastodonBlocklist/blocklist/blob/master/README.md which also has no evidence but links to https://github.com/tootcafe/blocked-instances which has moved to the toot.cafe "about" page. Looking at it, the suspension reason is

> Advice of toot.cat/cybre.space admins, GNUSocial apparent free speech zone**, hosts fake Gargron account

Which still gets us nowhere for evidence of actual abuse

Checking out toot.cat, their about page lists no blocked instances, nor does their admin have a pinned toot or link in their profile.

Checking out cybre.space, they only silence SPC, without any reason given.

So let me get this straight: instances block shitposter.club because Dzuk includes it because "MastodonBlocklist" includes it because toot.cafe blocks it because cybre.space silences it.

Ridiculous.

someone said "there is no reason not to read it."

i disagree. there is no reason to read them (or laws for that matter.) why? because rule sheets only matter as much as the people who enforce them. and enforcers tend to selectively decide who rules apply to and can be very adept at mental masturbation to get out of even the most strictly written rules.

for instance the US constitution says "congress shall enact no law abridging freedom of speech or of the press." that's a pretty bulletproof sentence, but they've jerked themselves off that "well uh, bad speech doesn't count as speech and so that's why we can violate that sentence!"

written codes are just cover your ass measures from people who want to appear to have a diplomatic face, so they can shrug behind paper documents when their decisions are criticized. there is no point in reading one; you will not get unbanned because you argued a loophole in an admin's paperwork. just like reading a law does nothing but false security, because a judge can just decide to ignore it and even knowing the current "precedent" means very little since they can flip flop on that too.

If someone ever tells you they've got nothing to hide, politely ask if you can look over their browsing history.

The free software Android Appstore #F-Droid has released a statement indicating that they will not give into demands that they censor blacklist-free software like Fedilab - which can be used to access #gab - or blacklist-riddled software like Tusky. Both censoring and freedom-respecting software is allowed in the F-Droid Appstore's catalog.

Well... Steam worked on Gentoo. Once, after I installed it.

After a reboot, nada. I'm assuming it's a library issue. A whole four Google results for this error.

Really not trying to take the virtualization hit to play TF2. It's bad enough on League of No Optimizations.
