I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).
We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.
As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.
This shit is getting absurd...
@pawlicker Are there normal sain people left on the fediverse.. what the fuck is going on....
The problem with a blanket Pleroma blocklist because "bad people" use it, is there are a lot of left-wing instances and hobby based instances that run it. Sure many of them moved to Akkoma, but a lot run vanilla Pleroma and the thing is, the developers of Pleroma are definitely not Nazis (see the Alex Gleason feud). I know for a fact most of the devs are LGBT and at least one former Pleroma dev was transgender. The same goes with soapbox, I know a trans person runs ap.maladaptive.art and it's blocked for being problematic just because of running Soapbox. The admin doesn't agree with Alexes views, but likes the UI of Soapbox and feels that it overcomes a barrier to fedi adoption.
Put it this way, this instance of mine that I don't use that often on a SPARC box (for a month long challenge of using old hardware) is now on that list because they just scraped all Pleroma instances.
