@matrix I called it. When given the chance to make this site mainstream, poast ruined it by pushing new comers out. Sadly not everyone like saying nigger but force feeding that to every newcomer is simply poast collapsing in on itself from bad actors (likely honey pot boys). Too bad it had potentialbut its done irreparable damage to the fediverse in the eyes of the public. @josh did an amazing job at showing how to handle this event with maturity and integrity too bad the same couldn't be said about graf.

@Soy_Magnus @matrix @josh The fact that instances are allowed to gate keep is one of the best things about federation. The biggest barrier to the fediverse's success is not belligerent instances, but the lack of education and marketing around the way federation works and its benefits. You cannot have a free network without local gatekeeping and curation, as the ability to do these things are a part of what it means for the network to be free.
If the public is unable to even tolerate the existence of anti-social groups, then all hope of freedom is already lost.
