What are some instances that I can recommend to non-bitcoiners?
@shawnyeager Yes, but I won't recommend it. That's where we were at the beginning and we were not welcome there.
@shawnyeager @verretor But they censor reasonable people including all Catholics
@lukedashjr @shawnyeager Lol. I'd have to get debaptized to join.
@verretor @shawnyeager That's not how membership in the Catholic Church works.
Baptism makes you a member, but you cannot be debaptized, and can leave the Church simply by denying any of its teachings.
(Not that I endorse leaving the Church for a social network or any other reason - membership in the Church is required for salvation)
@lukedashjr @verretor I’ll find my salvation in sats. ;)
@shawnyeager @verretor There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. That is the only place you can find it.
@lukedashjr @verretor You do you, man.
@lukedashjr @shawnyeager @verretor how do they know one is catholic? When written in bio?
@fixcrypt @shawnyeager @verretor Who knows. Maybe they don't. But in principle I would never recommend such a server that has such an intent.
@Root @shawnyeager @verretor Their published rules don't allow Catholics.
@Root @shawnyeager @verretor "No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, casteism"
While there may technically be interpretations of this compatible with Catholicism, such interpretations are rare in practice when interpreted by the person making such a rule.
@Root @shawnyeager @verretor And if the admin wanted to use such a Catholicism-compatible interpretation, one would reasonably expect the rules to explicitly say "It's okay to be against homosexuality, and to say transsexualism is delusional." to avoid excessive mis-reports from their users.
@Root @shawnyeager @verretor (And just in case you are unaware: Catholics MUST condemn homosexuality. To do otherwise would be to cease to be Catholic.)
@Root @shawnyeager @verretor They don't ban the topic entirely...
@verretor don’t know any. Haven’t ventured out that far. There is a wide range though. I’ve seen that most instances are less than 500 users though.
@mtc Free speech?
@verretor not sure
@lukedashjr @verretor That settles that then! Bring your normies here, Ben! We'll show them the way 😜
@mtc @lukedashjr Would be better if they had an instance that fits their personalities.
@verretor new to all of this...so this question may be stupid: why not scale this one? how much does it cost to run at current cap?
@johncosack I think it's a good idea to try to get people on as many instances as possible.
@johncosack @verretor Doesn't really make sense to have non-bitcoiners on bitcoinhackers.org
@verretor social.librem.one
@yojoe Thanks.
@verretor social.librem.one
@vbhide That makes two people who recommend it. Thank you. Probably good.
@verretor brighteon.social looked good for conservatives
@verretor I found rayn.bo, freedomofpress.rocks, justicewarrior.social, and freespeech.firedragonstudios.com
Hey @Siedge where can we find your server rules???
Neckbeard.xyz haha
@Bill_Smith @Siedge @lukedashjr Sounds like a place I won't recommend to anyone.
@lukedashjr Little late to the party here but.. Honestly I really haven't got any :shrug: Don't break US law I suppose :shrug: I've never really expected the instance to grow. It's just here for my entertainment
@verretor sous question pour les francophones: est-ce que vous connaissez une bonne instance accueillante pour les conservateurs ? Quelqu'un que je connais m'a posé la question et j'avoue que j'ai séché
@verretor The devs’ original instance is mastodon.social.
