Wow im amazed by just how many instances have blocked bofa.lol in just a few days.Is there any other major instances left that haven't blocked them?
@Mrfroglegs They harassed multiple people and instances for not agreeing with their extreme viewpoints politically. they were a big part of why wilw left.
@freemo ah. Makes sense.
@freemo @Mrfroglegs what were their extreme views, and what does harassment entail? Sorry for mining you for this info :)
@thewumbles
Harassment entailed bombarding accounts with frivolous reports, hateful messages, and pranking.
Their extremist views generally revolve around the narrative of "anyone who doesnt agree with me is a nazi". For example they targeted Wil because he refused to make a comment about someone he knew who was accused of something (he didnt defend him he just didnt comment). Which apparently made him a horrible person in their eyes and justified agression on their part. But they do this on individuals too.
For example my personal expiernce was when I said we were inclusive of all skin colors here, including white, that made me a Nazi for not having an inclusive message that excluded whites.
@freemo @Mrfroglegs Nasty illiberal authoritarians. Frankly the biggest threat to our society. Freedom isn't easy!
@thewumbles
Agreed, they too are one of the biggest threats. Like i said, extremism on both sides is in my opinion, so from my perspective that is at least half the problem for sure.
@freemo holy crap, I really donโt know what to say. (Besides fuck that instance.)
@jonlandrum No we don't block instances, even ones as deserving as bofa.lol
@freemo @jonlandrum I like their weasel logo:) I have to admit though I have a big weakness for all things weasel โค๏ธ
@Nyoei @freemo @jonlandrum Weasels are pretty cute for a murderous predator!
@Surasanji @freemo @jonlandrum

@freemo
As a newcomer to Mastodon in general I'm unfamiliar with this (apart from that it involves Wil Wheaton), might pointing me to some objective texts?
