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).
@wmarshall so just throw away all decentralization and do what already existed for decades but with a fancier UI?
@wmarshall having a network where you can choose which servers and admins to rely on, which would federate with those that are deemed appropriate?
@espectalll I guess you could remain federated and create a safe space of a few servers. It just seems kind of silly to me, that you would be willing to allow some people to be admins of servers only if they have political consensus with you to maintain the illusion of freedom/diversity of opinion to the userbase. What makes this different from Jack Dorsey?
@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 that's... a lot of implicit assumptions and questions I don't feel like replying to at 1:15 AM x3
