Mastodon is a federated system, so there is no _they_. You can choose not to federate with groups/nodes you don't want, but its basically invite your village type of model. Pro-LGTBQ+ groups don't have to fediate with neonazi groups, if they don't want to.
- tonguez 5y agoYou claim, "...there is no _they_." but another poster claims, "Mastodon can lock those servers out of their directories, or out of the main federation-network, though." Which another poster referred to as "de-federation". Which of you is correct? Is there a "_they_"?

- kstrauser 5y agoMost servers I’m familiar with operate on a blacklist/default-allow basis. My server federated with everyone by default, and we only disconnect specific ill behaved servers.
