Giving the admin the benefit of the doubt for now, but if you don't get banned, then that finalizes my decision to swap instances. Like OP said, being soft on fascists is just being a cryptofascist.
My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there's little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt...
Despite their claims, the evidence clearly shows they are a fascist instance. And fascists must NEVER be tolerated unless you want to become The Nazi Bar yourself. With enough "nay" votes, this could already be true.
Failure to uphold the most basic community safety will force me to move instances, and I'm sure many others will do the same, so then you will quickly see my point.
An instance is not federated with another until the first link is initiated manually. After that, they can talk to each other.
This is why if you are browsing a curated list of instances/communities on some website, and then go to search for them on your current instance, sometimes they don't show up, and you have to paste the full link in the search bar and wait for it to "find" it. You are initiating its federation.
So, no, this is not all instances. Some are still yet to be discovered by yours.
This "unlinked" state is different from being blocked, because a blocked instance is actively forbidden from being federated with your server. It can't talk to you even if it wants to, and you can't talk to them either. A total disconnect.
If you make your own instance you'll probably have to manually connect to some others to start with. Following people helps, because it adds any servers that they follow too.
The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches....
If you all think blocking a fascist server is going "too far" and you want to keep federating, then congratulations on becoming The Nazi Bar.
The "paradox" of tolerance is not some contradictory slippery slope. It is a fact of communities and must always be upheld. I hope our admin makes the correct choice.
No, in fact I have studied it well. It is within the established parameters, if you care to look them up. I am indeed acutely aware of the totalitarianism that is creeping further and further each day in my country.
Fascism must be ruthlessly stomped out and nipped in the bud before it can spread. It is too late in the outside world, but not here, in these small online communities.
Here, we still have a choice.
Edit: lol I just noticed you're from that instance. You're just a concern troll/crypto fascist so nvm. But I'll leave this comment up for others to read.
Trolls love attention, don't give it to them. Downvote and carry on is the best thing anyone can do for them self and others. Engaging in trolls is all they want and they get enjoyment and satisfaction and happiness from it, don't give them what they want....

Hello! I can finally kick my reddit habit. I have a mastodon account, so I'm already familiar with federation. But these two formats are like very different flavors of ice cream, you know? Happy to be here.
Je peux parler francais aussi. Merci pour l'instance :)

What happens when a new instance is created in the fediverse?
So clicking on an instance's instance list I can see all the linked instances and all the blocked instances....

The best thing to do for this community is to not feed the trolls (www.wikihow.com)
