Informal poll: For tournament purposes, should Adam Curry be treated as having their home instance being NAS? I know that the actual answer to this is "CMD is running things so he can arbitrate" but I want to get a sense of what people think is "actually fair." The poll is to make it more obviously visible, but I'm listening to arguments more closely than poll numbers.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com >should Adam Curry be treated as having their home >one guy >their >plural pronoun used invalidly Stop that. You are better than a tranny faggot, feminist academic bitch, or a legally drugged up Zoomer taught by the former two who all would butcher our native tongue.

@SuperSnekFriend@poa.st I default to it because it's the thing that usually keeps me from getting in hot water when I fuck it up.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com I thought Curry basically disowned much of NoAgendaSocial. Is it any different for NoAuthoritySocial? I'd say he's really not a part of NAS at all.

@berkberkman@shitposter.world I think that's the compelling argument for "not from," and it's the one I'd make too. I have a sense that others think differently, and I want to hear that argument made.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com Dude, who are you talking to who complains and bitches easily the moment you get his pronoun sex wrong? Doesn't sound like someone you should communicate with. The only ones who would complain instead of politely and gently correcting you are demon possessed trannies and libshits who enable the abhorrent sins of trannydom.

@SuperSnekFriend@poa.st I go touch grass and occasionally there is a libshit who I am around who will make things atrocious if you don't placate them. I am near the end of my patience with them, but that does not mean I am past it, nor does it mean that the associated habits are in the process of changing for me.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com Ok, you accommodate, I still think wrongfully, evil people who expect you to use feminist syntax like the so-called singular indefinite plural pronoun. But then, why bring it here where people do NOT want to hear this English-destroying and feminism-affirming nonsense?

@SuperSnekFriend@poa.st Habit. I am sorry that this is how it is, but this is why I talk/type like this and it will probably happen again.

Or is this about the Adam Curry that is one of tho hosts of and creator of the No Agenda show?

@EvolLove@noauthority.social The latter, and that's obvious.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com Is he on fedi at all? If not, shouldn't he be ineligible for the tournament? If he is, wouldn't his home instance be the usual "wherever his main account is"? Which I'd assume is NAS1.

@Zergling_man@gearlandia.haus He's on a fediverse instance which does federate with lab.nyanide.com, and thus he's eligible!

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com Is that instance not NAS1?

@Zergling_man@gearlandia.haus Correct. Following the rules literally and as written, Adam Curry is on another instance. I've heard people think the other way around, and I was hoping to hear an argument for that - those arguments look something like "yeah that's technically right but he's obviously one of those NAS people." I was hoping to hear a better-stated version of that argument.

@EvolLove@noauthority.social @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st Edits don't federate everywhere in a reasonable fashion. Same goes for deletions. When you screw up - no matter what the screw up is - the right thing to do is to go "yeah, this is why I fuck up, sorry you're mad" and live with it. I will own all of my cringe. I will not shy away from it.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com @EvolLove@noauthority.social >I will own all of my cringe. I will not shy away from it.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com Ok that's pretty funny

@Zergling_man@gearlandia.haus Yeah. If I don't hear anything from anyone then I'm just going to chalk it up to wanton NAS-hate and disregard it entirely.

ceo_of_monoeye_dating - https://lab.nyanide.com/users/ceo_of_monoeye_dating Zergling_man - https://gearlandia.haus/users/Zergling_man Curry decided he doesn't want any affiliation with NAS. He has disowned multiple times. He said all of Fediverse is bad because it allows anti-jewish messages. He was formerly pro-free speech and then switched to pro-censorship because his feed was filled with hateful messages about Jews.

@Valvoline@noauthority.social @Zergling_man@gearlandia.haus Oh shit you basically just wrote his tagline for me, thanks. Everyone here hates kikes, and fellating kikes *that* hard is easily going to push him to finals.

I left this poll open for longer than I should have. It's clear that the consensus is that Curry is not from NAS. I consider this issue to be closed, and am dismissing any dissent as underinformed of what's going on there.
