Oh please!

> @ruud IMO, this policy may be cause to defederate from mastdoon.world. A policy not to proactively defederate from hate until it a report is made to the server admin, despite earlier warnings from the communuty, is not helping the community protect itself.

@arturN

This isn't email and we're not talking about spam per se but blocking on political and/or moral grounds. It's a slippery slope!

That isn't how the Federation works

@ruud @captainepoch

@ruud

Once you as an instance start any blocking yourself, then by definition you're not Federated. This is the weak point of the entire ecosystem in my mind. If an instance is posting illegal content, let the law deal with it.

@ruud

What your expousing is NOT the Fediverse but the Birdsite as another poster mentioned. Oh the irony.I've been here a long time too and your stance is ridiculous in my opinion.

@arturN

@ruud

OK I haven't checked so I'll take your word for that. Regardless the point stands - It's not that people want an anything goes instance, but want to be able to censor for themselves. Funny how people that beleive in 'Free Speech' like to moderate what others see with minimal oversight and/or transparency.

@captainepoch @arturN

@ruud

Well, when I get my instance up, any other that uses blocklists will not be federated by moi. The entire purpose of this ecosystem is to federate and NOT to be a single entity or walled garden. It dissapoints me to see admins that don't get this. Let users have the editorial power, we're supposed to be adults here. I'm on a much larger instance than yours and if I can keep up with the spam alone, then perhaps your volunteers aren't all they're cut out to be. LOL
