@robcolbert For a free speech instance you guys you seem to be pretty pro block. I mean hell you even suspend accounts who criticize gab on gab pretty liberally I hear, seen a few examples of gab blocks that looks pretty frivolous.

I mean its cool if thats the stance your instance has on moderation. But I'm not sure its fair to keep flying the free speech banner then either.

@snder
Any idea why they blocked you guys at Quey? Did they bother to talk to you first or just block?

@robcolbert

@freemo

Maybe because I was mentioned in a hellthread where he was also in! No nothing at all but I canโ€™t see anything from Gab do it seems pretty clear #lol

@robcolbert

@snder @freemo
I don't get it. I see you guys here. How does instance blocking work?
Pretty new to Mastodon.

@Jaycephus
Depends there are two levels silencing and suspending. With silencing a person wont show up in federated timelines and cant message or talk to people unless they follow them first. With a suspension you cant interact at all, not even follow.

@snder

@freemo @snder
Then I still don't understand your attack on @a and Gab.
We are communicating. In what way are you blocked?

@Jaycephus
I cant speak for quey, only my own statement.

For my part I saw multiple people on Gab get their account suspended shortly after criticising gab but otherwise not being abusive.

When I saw this i didnt want to jump to conclusions so I tested it myself. I created a account on gab and made a post which was intentionally polite, but otherwise criticizing gab (said something to the effect of "My initial impressions of gab suggest the rumors are true, I'm seeing a lot of unsavory behavior here". The account was suspended within an hour of that post. To me this was the confirmation I needed that Gab was block-friendly.

Lets also not forget that the CEO himself has threatened on at least one occasion to block the entire fediverse. Not sure if that post is still up but I did see it when he made it.

@snder @a

@freemo @robcolbert

~~ freemo, maybe you shouldn't believe everything you hear? ut hey, we all know everything you hear on the internet is true, right. ;-)

@BetterNot2Know
Did you read what I just aid? I pretty explicitly said that I saw evidence of my own and did not rely on what I heard.

@robcolbert

@freemo @robcolbert can anyone else see more posts from this user, it looks like they created the account just to make this one response

@loli @freemo @robcolbert the tone too is consistent with his usual condescending ranting

@Oblivia
I see no other posts from the user. It does indeed appear that way. Not sure to what end though as does not block Gab.

@robcolbert

@freemo @robcolbert the dude can't help himself but step in to defend dear leader, and didn't want to associate this thread with his main acct on gag. probably

@Oblivia Eh not worth my brain power to care. It was a comment with no value, so I've already deallocated my mental space for it :)
