@wild1145 Hi Ryan 👋
Do you know why dobbs.town is suspended? It says "Suspended / Reason not available"

I have several friends on there.

Thanks!

@BobMastodon It looks like they are on the @oliphant Unified Minimum Block list which we've started to use. That would suggest there's been some serious issues with the instance historically. Let me do some digging to see if I can find out any more on why the instance is recommended to be blocked. It may well be a historic issue that has shifted, or it might be that the instance fails to moderate / administer properly in which case I'd personally suggest your friends shift instances to an instance that does moderate. It's worth saying they're going to be blocked by a fairly large number of instances as this block list is generally trusted as a absolute bare minimum block list and they may want to consider moving anyway for that reason.

I'll take a look probably tomorrow being honest and get back to you.

@freemo

Well qoto.org, for example, is defederated from my instance because they won't block racists.

Is that information out of date? If not, don't blame the block list.

@BlueDot @freemo @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant took me two seconds to see this in the bio, and no, it doesn't matter you are 'not doing it to mock', those are prefixes or titles not pronouns, so it is intentional

blocked

@cihuapilli @BlueDot @freemo @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant how is this relevant to the conversation, please?

My current interpretation is that you personally have strong opinions about @freemo's attitude. Neither of this has any relationship to the rules (I welcome corrections to this interpretation). Given what I've seen, my expectation is to be also blocked for this comment. Not a problem, but this is between individuals, not a matter of instance policies.
