Welcome to Ask Burggit, wanted to get it off the ground and make an initial post, and I was kind of curious to see what people would answer.
How did you hear about Burggit?
You must log in or register to comment.
So my other main online homes are Baraag (and Pixiv)…
… And in my feed, there was a discussion from Satori about how best to manage the increasing needs for storage/server load amid ever-continuing sign-ups to the instance. And in that discussion, both Burgitt and shota.nu were namedropped.
So now I’m here. Always excited to have new spaces to share art, with so many other places declining (not Baraag, though. I mean like, Twitter, Reddit, etc)…
You’re my husband and you told me about it, so I joined to help you and your friend.
This outrage post. Knew I’d found the one.
I found this place on the Lemmy front page list of instances. Like some others have mentioned I’m not here specifically for the type of hentai allowed but I’m against morality policing, especially for fictional content. I think this place will be vilified but as long as you stick by your policies you should see a decent community grow here.
Thank you! That’s the plan, we will not abandon our policies! We are dead set on giving people a place to express themselves and their ideas all ideas freely, so long as they do not participate in illegal activities or things like harassment of groups or individuals.
Saw a comment saying ban buggit.moe because eww loli. Instantly hit the signup button.
People keep praising federation and decentralization and yadda yadda yadda without noticing the elephant in the room: The owner of an instance can block other instances, therefore denying its users from contents solely because they choose to do so.
This is extremely problematic for me because an instance is not only a community by itself, but also supposed to be a window into the Fediverse for its users. For those who came from Reddit, can you imagine using a reddit third party client only to find out they don’t allow you to view certain subreddits for whatever reason?
Huge respect to Burggit for having the ball to run a truly “safe and diverse” space for the Fediverse dwellers.
You’re welcome. I fully expect them to pull a Tusky for their Jerboa app if we show up more on their radar. What a crock of shit, the Tusky app hardcodes a blacklist of Pleroma and Mastodon instances so that the end user can’t connect to them. Hence the need for the Husky fork.
Honestly, it’s why I’m trying to jumpstart more diverse but “safe” communities. If it’s nothing but lolis and cubs, the target is clear, but with decent discussion based communities, it becomes a bit more difficult and there’s an argument to be made that they’re not just blocking one type of content, they’re blocking entirely unrelated communities because they don’t like part of what they’re hosting. That bolsters the free speech argument even more when speech they like is inherently intertwined with speech they don’t like.
I want this place to thrive. It doesn’t need to be the biggest, and inevitably zero tolerance types will block it regardless, but I want the decision to censor it to be painful for as many people as possible.
Saw it blocked on beehaw and wondered why since I didn’t see any bigotted shit
Jesus that list ballooned fast. Was only like 6 instances (mostly the tankies/nazis) just last week lol.
They are literally blocking single user’s self-hosted instances for whatever reason lol.
My reasons for picking this as my home aren’t because it’s loli friendly, but also because it is. I’m tired of people getting mad about others opinions and thoughts. I don’t particularly like certain content advertised as welcome here, but that’s the point. I’ll never call for a ban on people having their own places to share their thoughts. I don’t have to like what you say to defend your right to say it, and this instance seems to share this stance. Standing up for unpopular speech is how I found this place. People need to chill and let others exist to share their ideas, good and bad, so people can make up their own damn minds on who they are or aren’t.
Don’t be a dick goes so many ways, including the stripping away of voices from those that others may not like. So here I am. Happy to be here.
Agreed 100% it should not be the job of a corporation, platform or otherwise to decide what you can/cannot see. To decide what you can’/cannot say. To decide who you can/cannot be or who you can/cannot associate with. People should be allowed to think for themselves, make their own decisions about what and who they want to associate with and participate in.
Very glad you found us and we’re happy to have you here. Hope you enjoy your stay!
Exactly. If I dislike something or someone, there’s this magical little button I can push to make it disappear from my screen. I don’t need someone else to push that button for me, so thank you thank you thank you for maintaining sanity in an insane world.
