I dont have any domains locally blocked, and QOTO doesnt really block domains for all its users, with a few small exceptions...

But man I am really temped to block poa.st. It seems to be the sludge from the bottom of the gene pool over there. I cant honestly remember ever having a productive conversation with anyone from that server.

Alas as a moderator who needs to keep an eye on his community I am reluctant to start blocking people or domains locally.

@freemo You are aware of who populates Poast, right? And why they are the way they are?

@NEETzsche No I am not, please feel free to enlighten me.

@freemo Poast is the de facto TRS (The Right Stuff) instance. TRS is a white nationalist podcast network that is trying to expand into a more “serious” thing by posturing as the saviors of the white race. They have a very peculiar brand of white nationalism that entails them acting pretty much exactly as they do.

@NEETzsche Ew. I'm pretty far to the right and that's gross.

@swiley @NEETzsche Why is advocating for your race gross? Neetzsche was only correct in the beginning anyway, plenty of people have joined poast since then that were not part of, or the audience of, TRS. Like myself.

@lichelordgodfrey @NEETzsche Kicking people out of their own country is gross and that's what you're arguing for if you argue for this. Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

@swiley @NEETzsche So you believe Israel is an illegitimate state? Good. It belongs to the Palestinians.

@lichelordgodfrey @NEETzsche I'm not convinced it is. I certainly don't think we should be fighting for them.
