Fediblock Nonsense
Sees Fedi-block drama yet again
The only time immediate suspension of server is understandable is if the server in question is objectively teeming with Nazis, CSAM, Spam, etc.In any other case, suspension should be viewed as an absolute last resort option. It should not be the default method of resolving conflicts. If you see it as the default method, then you have extremely poor conflict resolution skills.
Users here are adults. Users are capable of using the mute, block, and keyword block functions. No need for the condescending "papa/mama knows best" attitude. #FediMeta #Fediblock #Fediverse #Rant
Fediblock Nonsense
Personally, I go farther than that: I would only block a server for infrastructure reasons, if a server is causing a technical threat to the system, flooding messages or whatever.
Blocking an instance over content is a technical solution to a social problem.
Throttling is fine. You don't have to promote an instance's content in your own public stream. You don't have to actively promote the problematic instance.
But beyond that, I'd prefer to focus on empowering users to shape their own experiences, to shape the content they see as they wish, and put only technical issues in the hands of server operators.
