You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
On the technical side, you post a bunch of actions to your local server (posts, comments, votes) and others who are interested pull copies of them to their server where they can respond or not.
On the social side, you subscribe to communities both locally and on other servers. Moderation is public, unlike reddit. And even if you’re banned from a community or even a whole server, as long as it’s not your home server (where your account is) you can just keep going without content from that server.
On the flip side, there’s no real block function, the “block” is actually a mute. They keep posting but your server just doesn’t show it to you. And if someone’s enough of a shitkicker to get banned from their home instance, nothing stops them from joining another. Most veteran fedizens have three of four accounts already (in my case, to cover server downtime). And servers can outright ban whole other servers, including all their communities and users; this is called defederation.
To go back to the technical, all these blocks and bans and defederations come back to the same thing: someone saying “I’m not interested in the actions of this user / community / server, don’t pull copies of it for me.”

A romantic relationship? No.
A sexual relationship? No.
A friendship? No.

Didn’t we do this one a couple weeks ago?
Answer unchanged: Queen’s “Princes of the Universe”
Probably not if it was “So what?” but maybe if it was “…and it was the worst mistake of my life.”
I’m just looking for a little self-reflection.
I went to Critical Mass even though I was tired.

I’d be more likely to hire them if they didn’t claim innocence.
Let me tell you about the past, first. The year is 2005. The hot topics in AI research are natural language recognition, image recognition (especially faces and, for different reasons, tumors), and neural nets. Markov models are already becoming passé.
Within three years speech recognition will be ubiquitous in the developed world. Within ten facial recognition will be. Both so much so that you can run them on your phone without special software.
I don’t believe in astrology but I’m still a typical Gemini Water Pig anyway.
I feel a kinship with all cyclists.

There is a wiiiiide stretch of sky between “do this or I’ll hurt you” and “I don’t want to be around someone who acts unsocialized”.
When they consistently act like one. When they take full responsibility for themself and their actions.
I constantly seek out new music and pick it up from everywhere. Currently on a folk punk kick, before that it was Billboard Top 100 stuff from the 60’s and 70’s, before that it was hyperpop. I ask that anyone who wants to get me a gift instead make me a mix CD, I’ve got enough physical stuff.
But I listen to the new music mixed into the old music. Recently using shuffle, but before iTunes went to shit I used to have Party Shuffle pull from a dense web of smart playlists that ensured I was always listening to new favorites, old favorites, and tracks I hadn’t listened to recently in a roiling cycle. Man I miss having smart playlists.
My “favorites” alone, songs I can sing along to, are in the thousands after more than two decades of this. The floodplains of attending tracks, other songs from good albums, local music I don’t get get rid of because I wouldn’t be able to find it again, CDs that I ripped for my kids’ or from my wife’s collection, mix CDs made for me that I’m still getting around to digesting, these make up several thousand more tracks.
So if you, OP, or anyone else want a list of recent highlights, I’m down to trade a tracklist of most played from the last year.
First, stop using AI to write for you.
I’ve turned down jobs because I thought they would make the world worse.
