You're going to die on the hill that music is objective, and the Beatles are objectively bad? Interesting...

I'm curious what bands you consider "objectively good"

This is a meaningless strawman. I don't see anyone saying things like this.

Well I didn't make this post so I can't really speak to the intent behind it.

But I don't think that's what this post is doing at all.

It's "fuck cars" not "fuck people who drive cars"

Obviously the average driver is not responsible for the societal reliance on cars.

Well I guess music is inherently subjective, but they have definitely written many good songs.

Because they're good! Excellent songwriting that stands the test of time.

That song is literally nonsense meant to confuse people who overanalyze their songs. It's not meant to be 'deep' haha.

You don't have to like them, but there's a reason why I and so many others think they're fantastic.

That’s a good idea, and it could make a one way trip worth it if it meant becoming super powerful. I’d also focus on medical technology, and maybe computing.

Although I’m a bit unsure of whether I could really create enough broad social change just from that. My goal would be liberation for people of all races, genders, and sexual orientations, the dismantling of capitalism and power structures, etc.

The other option would be to do far back enough so that I could be some sort of god king, which would be a lot more work technologically, but might be easier to create a religion that would canonize my instructions.

True, I wouldn’t want to get Galileo’d, and I would definitely want to stay away from Salem, haha. I think ~1750 would probably be a good time. Someone like Euler would take it seriously.

I’m quite happy with my instance and I haven’t experienced this myself (that I know of). I just personally would rather encounter something I don’t like than to only be able to see half a conversation.

I guess you’re right that having instance options makes this a non issue though, as we can both have what we want.

I just think a lot of people join instances like world or ml without really understanding this, which is unfortunate.

Please re read the original post and my comments. That’s not what I am saying.

I’m saying that ideally moderation SHOULD be handled by the remote instance that hosts the community, and that the local instance should faithfully reflect it without censoring it.

Yes? I don’t understand what you’re saying.
