fedi meta
sad truth: as long as instances like .art keep moderating as they do ("proactively", guilt-by-association, etc.), Mastodon and the fediverse as a whole will stagnate.
I get that people want to keep it "manageable", but you also want more people to adopt the concept and ideology so we are not dependent on centralized services.
but new users will leave right away if they have to deal with federation issues if they can't interact with friends.

@pixel Noting that I have a few friends, although not here, who have a few pretty dumb views (conservatism...).
Sometimes, it's like we talk past each other... When it comes to a few issues. So, I have an idea of what that can be like.
I think that every instance tends to have it's own standard (and I'm not thinking of instances dedicated to hate per se), more or less, and it's probably not tenable to carve up the map everywhere.
