It says a lot that when gab came, the pleroma side of fedi responded by trolling them, while the mastodon side responded by ripping each other apart. (It also says a lot that this is still a step up from tumblr in that respect.)

To all those that want to wholesale block instances: the is too important for it to be turned into your hugbox and no one is interested in your hysterical cries of "but...but...but...Nazis!".

huh, I just realized that now that Gabโ€™s here the median fedi age just went up. Iโ€™m not that old anymore

@jeff @espectalll I think they've been trying to add a page to Mastodon which lists blocked instances for ages now.

But they can't get the changes passed because 90% of the comments are these lefties complaining that by displaying blocked instances whatsoever you're "advertising for them"

I dunno about you, but if you make everything so taboo that just mentioning it is illegal, the whole world would go to shit, that's north korea level stuff.

Regardless people have kept that thing back by complaining about how it "advertises" for the instances they block. I dunno if that's still the case though, I very rarely browse mastodon repos
@espectalll The admin world of mastodon really is pure cancer tbh. It's mostly just butthurt people who want to bulk-block absolutely everything for the smallest offense.

I can't view them as anything other than control freaks who want to micromanage their whole social network experience to fit their wishes.

I'm with Angristan in the fact that I believe the purpose of the fediverse is to give control to users, so they can do what they want.

But good lord there's so many instances out there that just mass block and then users from these instances go around parading that you're a shitty admin because you don't block instances like others did, even though they're not even a member of your instance.

People are free to create whatever instances they want, but you'd be amazed how many instances out there don't even inform users what instances are blocked or why, and how many of them are just admins getting drunk on power.

But really the worst part about being an admin is getting hordes of people who call you a nazi just because you refuse to block <insert any instance that's been politically relevant in the past 30 minutes>.

I look forward to the eventual and inevitable release of Tusky: GoodThink Edition to go alongside TuskyUncensored.

me: excuse me sir, mastodon is a decentralized and federated social network and most of the major instances have blocked gab

Making something at work in Photoshop, then opening up the .psd in @GIMP@mastodon.at on my Linux rig at home to finish it... I love open source software!
