@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?
Maybe because I was mentioned in a hellthread where he was also in! No nothing at all but I canโt see anything from Gab do it seems pretty clear #lol
@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.
@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.
~~ 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.
@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 :)
@freemo @robcolbert
Haha quey is also blocked!
