@design_RG Dude there are some pretty disgusting and oppressive instances on that list... some of the worst actors in the fediverse are on there... scholar.social, really
Virtually every one of those instances have been oppressive to instances with opposing viewpoints to their own and usually spread disgusting lies about any instance that doesnt fit their ideals..
Its a list of fanaticism mostly (a few instances on there are ok).
boo
As we said when we blocked it. Should your moderation policies change such that harassment of the form we expiernced en masse would be moderated you only need let us know and we would be happy to remove the silence.
So far I have heard no such indication of any change in policy. Only repeated justification (and even lies) about what happened at the time.
If that has changed and the server has reformed its moderation policies in that regard I would be more than happy to remove the silence.
Is that the case?
As a reminder, as we stated at the time of the block, and as we state on our public block list. The views of the spinster server in no way have any effect on our decision to silence it.
The incident was the result of en mass harassment over multiple days. Dozens of users (and one in particular) explicitly avoiding personal mutes by repeatedly opening up new threads over and over again in order to harass myself and others.
Our first line of defense was a personal mute, that was circumvented, the next line of defense was a 24 hour silence on the instance, it continued past that, At that point we engaged with the moderators on spinster for over 24 hours to see a resolution, none was given.
We are under no obligation to have to be bombarded en mass by users in an attempt to harass our users.
As was stated multiple times this had nothing to do with your ideologies or opinions and unless there is some protection regarding harassment your instance will remain silenced.
LOL
Anyway As I said, we will happily unsilence spinster once your moderation policies come in compliance with US law and there is some guarantee against a repeat of the events that originally got you blocked.
If that time comes you only need to let us know and we will happily unblock you.
