it is all a moot point anyway, because Gab already forked Tusky. https://github.com/freespeech4ever/Gabby

the conversation we *should* be having is around Gab's attempt to hijack the ActivityPub ecosystem as a shield for their own operations. apps will have to consider taking steps to protect their own relationships with their publishers (Google and Apple), which may or may not include blocking gab.
personally, i believe software should ideally remain neutral (per the same principles behind net neutrality), but pragmatically speaking, this may not be practical in the case of fediverse apps to adhere to, given the requirements of their publishers.

There's no way around that. It's opensource, and AP is a public protocol. So we need to protect ourselves. Most of the masto community is people who looked for an alternative to other social media that would make us more safe and less vulnerable to attack from people wanting to literally kill us.

actually, there is a way around that. the rest of us fediverse server implementers can explicitly say "fuck gab, we're not going to work with them."
and to be clear, i do not care if Pleroma successfully federates with Gab or not. i'm quite certain i'm not alone in that opinion amongst other Pleroma maintainers. i'm not going to go out of my way to break federation with gab, but i'm not going to go out of my way to fix federation with gab either.
we do, however, care if Pleroma successfully federates with basically everyone else.

To be clear, I'm only talking about mobile clients here. In Pleroma/Masto's current state, it's up to the admin's to block instances. Making it harder for nazi's and other hate groups from using our client apps, is completely in our right. Especially if its opensource. If they don't like it, they are free to fork the shit or write their own to get around it. My goal is to make it harder for them to CONVENIENTLY be able to download an app and come harass the fedi.

@bort @erdnaxeli @feld @farhan@mastodon.technology @fedilab @1iceloops123 @kaniini You said "blocked" before but now you're responding. Something here doesn't add up!

I needed to reboot my server. and it looks like I need to do so again.

@bort @erdnaxeli @feld @farhan@mastodon.technology @fedilab @1iceloops123 @kaniini Mate, if your server can alter causality in that way just through a reboot, you've got a really special server. I'd get some physicists in to study it, there's some New Physics there for sure.
You are a dipshit, there is a thing called a server. And you can block domains. I hadn't blocked that domain yet giant brained human. Fucking eh you are stupid as fuck, no matter tho, I blocked librem just now too so I won't have to deal with your douche bag ass ever again. I win fucko.
