I'm wondering...
How do people intend to solve the Gab thing? By being able to block by certificates? Is that it?
Yeah, all solutions seem to be targeted exclusively at blocking with certificates.
Come on, just whitelist if you don't want to leave any chance for bad actors to appear (without your permission).
@espectalll The best solution is probably an invite only safe-space instance, to be honest.
@wmarshall having a network where you can choose which servers and admins to rely on, which would federate with those that are deemed appropriate?
@wmarshall that's... a lot of implicit assumptions and questions I don't feel like replying to at 1:15 AM x3
@wmarshall nice way to bring the Godwin law assuming I want to do censorship (when I myself don't even block anything and my server federates with Gab) and that it makes it equivalent to Literally Hitler™️
@wmarshall I'm taking things seriously, that's why I don't carelessly make comparisons with any dictatorship regardless of side
@wmarshall so just throw away all decentralization and do what already existed for decades but with a fancier UI?
