I saw someone mention a mastodon.art post and I just went through their about page for fun. Their blocklists reads like a almost complete instance list by now. Also by their own ruleset they should have blocked mastodon.social and mastodon.online by now because they do federated with a couple of hundred instances they have blocked. But they know that would cause a mass migration away from #mastodonart . I don't know why people still register there with -80% reach compared to sane instances.
@SolSoCoG
Yes. And it is a fact, that since their policy is to block any Admin who doesn't entirely agree with them, that, given enough time, .art will become the Fediverse's first self-defederated server 🤣
@Jerry@SolSoCoG Well, I know a good amount of people who is on there.
@cjrando / @gleb don't you guys think to move away from the instance you're currently on? Just asking; read the conversation up on there and you'll understand why am I asking this question.
@expert@Jerry@cjrando@gleb Make sure the art admin doesn't find out about your instance, "Only light moderation will be applied" is the same sentence as "not moderating fash edgelords" for them which results in a suspension. Careful there 😳.
@expert@SolSoCoG@cjrando
Because I didn't agree to block firefish.social, she blocked me, and then made up some horrible lies about me and spread them around as punishment. This is a common thing that she does.
@Jerry @SolSoCoG
Too late for that - there are already quite a few that defederated long ago, mostly to avoid people like you.
There are even forks of Mastodon that don't federate by default, again, mostly to avoid bigoted, abusive folk such as yourself.
The masto.art admins are doing what they can to provide a safe space for their users, many of whom are from marginalised and/or abused communities - they must be doing something right if you are so pissed off about it.
Wait what, we call out rampaging admins which are in no case benefitial for users or the fediverse in whole and get called names for that? Cool. That's a first, being called a bigot and abusive, are you out of your mind slinging these words around like they mean nothing?
@SolSoCoG They are so absurd that they have just become the runnign joke of the fedi at this point. Even moderate servers that do some reasonable level of blocking laugh at them.
