    You can say that it isn’t for you but you can’t say it’s a shitty show. It’s one of the most influential shows of the 90s. Cheers, All in the Family, MASH, and Seinfeld are probably the only ones that compare. (I’d like to put Malcolm in the Middle and Married with Children up there too but that’s probably giving them too much credit)

    That’s strange, having bridged my account to both, I actually feel the opposite. I have way more engagement on the Mastodon side to the point where I forget I bridged my account to bluesky.

    I mean it certainly helps that all my posts are tech and retro gaming related but still

    I agree with you in part, but I find just wanted to put the footnote that good moderation isn’t censorship (unless it’s literally being used to suppress alternative viewpoints). Good moderation is just reminding everyone of your grandmother’s rule that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it all. And there is nothing wrong in joining an instance like that and doesn’t make your instance an echo chamber.













  • I agree with you mostly. And censoring swears from media aimed at children, doesn’t prevent kids from wanting to experiment with the taboo. But I’d rather have children’s media model good behavior, and while swearing isn’t always profane or disrespectful, it often is. And being able to differentiate the context is a learned social skill that kids won’t master until that kind of content is appropriate.

    This last quote really has nothing to do with my argument but I just like it. “Profanity is the linguistic crutch of inarticulate fuckheads”. I want to teach my children to articulate themselves well and save the profane for when it makes the most impact.
