That's precisely what Mastodon's creator suggested earlier today: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/102184195834215862 https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/102184195834215862
Of course, he has no authority over mobile apps, so it remains up to app creators to decide. I believe there are three apps that share the majority of users (Fedilab, Tusky, Mast). Most popular instances will probably stop federating with them as soon as they can.
EDIT: Fedilab's creator already expressed that he'll do so to avoid the chance of being banned from the app store.
- balaksakrionon 7y agoWould it be possibly to camoflauge a gab instance as if it were a mastodon instance for the purposes of federation? It probably wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of a follow up human review, it would bypass the federation block.
- scohesc 7y agoI'm sure there will be a sort of "Gab Relay" similar to how the PirateBay avoids domain takedowns by using multiple domains/proxies.
- zimpenfish 7y agoToot! is going to block them. https://mastodon.social/users/tootapp/statuses/102185365923885685 https://mastodon.social/users/tootapp/statuses/1021853659238... > In case anyone was wondering due to recent discourse, Toot! will be blocking any gab domains. > I do not support white supremacy and hatred, and will never support any server that promotes it.
