@valleyforge @farhan Even Qoto silences Spinster 😆
@reg @alex @farhan @valleyforge It's because Spinster used the same software as Gab. Therefore, "muh guilty by association" even though Gleason and I have both come to despise Gab as a software company as of recent.

No one is blocking spinster due to the software they are using. While that did get them some unjustified heat and attention if you really think thats the reason then you are naive..
Lets be clear I dont support the decision to block them in the app in the way it is done here. But at least be honest about the reasons. It is almost certainly due to hatred about the pro-TERF environment on spinster or perhaps their track record of engaging in mass harassment of people who disagree with them.
I have to admit, I tend to agree. I relayed Spinster after first seeing this thread and then deleted the relay after a few hours. I couldn't handle it. Toxic, negative, militant, man-hating vibe. I like Alex and I enjoy his Gleasonator site but I don't share his taste in Spinster. I don't agree with the block but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason had nothing to do with the Gab software.
I still wish I could un-relay freespeechextremist but this buggy Pleroma stuff keeps erroring out when I try. I can un-relay any other site but not that one.
