Unfortunately there are a lot of assholes in diaspora.
A lot of people with a closed mind,
which have blinkers, and this means that you cannot leave everyone free to comment.
People who live with blinders, and see only one type of direction, fail to accept things outside of their way of seeing things, but unfortunately, in diaspora we find fanatics with blinders, and this means that always they will be there ready to attack people, using more or less violent sharp comments. People who, according to my view, have nothing to do with trolls, not to be confused with trolls.
But even these types of people cannot be fed.
So we have to somehow not allow them to spit venom in our posts.
Unfortunately software like #
mastodon or #
diaspora does not allow blocking these people to comment in our public posts, while, for example, #
hubzilla allows it.
Public means visible to all, but not
commentable by everyone.
There are people ready to attack you as soon as you talk about something they don't expect and don't accept, regarding politics, religion or anything else, even if you say that linux does 200 things very well, but 2 things do wrong, and other systems do them better, those 2 things, you are called ignorant or incapable, even if the person doesn't really know you.
So, friends, we are now at a level that we are attacked for everything, even trivial things ...
In diaspora unfortunately is full of assholes, and this I have been repeating for years, full of assholes that have been 'censored' or blocked in other networks, and come to spit venom into free networks.
This is why we need tools like hubzilla offers.
Public means visible to all, but not
commentable by everyone.
Ps: in theory (about people of diaspora and its protocol), for example, only the comments of my contacts will be distributed to the various pods, while the comments of the others will not be distributed, but limited to their pods, and therefore if you are not part of the list of contacts you are advised. This also applies to the aforementioned post. This also means that the comments of "strangers" (not in the list of my contacts) will never arrive in my hub (hz-hub = diaspora-pod), so they will not be distributed, and I clearly will have no way of reading it (unless someone from the same pod of the commentator that can tell me).
