There is a difference between blocking every other server and blocking a singular server and the different shades between. In particular gab is full of toxic, stupid, offensive, psychos wearing human skin masks so that they can blend in and prey upon actual humans.
Most people when consuming content at scale want SOME filter on the content whether they know it or not unless the community is very small and self selecting. This is because a singular scumbag can trivially ruin the good time of a thousand users. Large completely unmoderated communities always turn into nightmares at some point.
- vorejdajo 4y agoThe block if any should be at the user level per user and not at the admin level. No matter what gab user's beliefs are, it's wrong to dehumanize them. If anything, you're doing the same thing you're accusing them of doing: Dehumanizing humans with different (race)beliefs to commit (genocide) segregation.
- phoe-krk 4y agoChoosing not to associate with a person or a group of people is one of the most basic human rights, not dehumanization. A private Fediverse instance has the full right to invite, or uninvite, any sort of people or content; you're just seeing the effects of that right being exercised, independently, by multiple administrators of multiple instances.
- michaelmrose 4y agoBut you CAN choose at the individual level. If the server you are on doesn't implement your desired policy you can move to another or host your own.
- snickerbockers 4y agoyeah but its not just gab that gets blocked, just about every instance has a long list of blocked instances, and most instance admins will block anything that hosts content they disagree with. im not being hyperbolic when i say that a sizable portion of the fediverse is run by admins who think free speech is analagous to nazism.
