In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit's power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in return. With just Mute, as far as i can tell, one still wouldn't have to look on certain instances, but could interact/whitelist certain individuals and we'd get rid of the multi account requirement overnight. So why isn't it that way?

Edit: For those annoyed by the same siloing issues, look into ATProto. Bluesky may be a big unknown, but the protocol itself looks a lot more promising in terms of user freedom.

Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it'll be Nazi bar.

I always suspect the people who don't want defederation to be a thing kinda want the nazi bar. It's always the lead into the freeze peach bullshit.

I often say, "Free Speech doesn't mean other people are required to provide you with a soap box and megaphone."

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Sounds like it. Anti-defederation is the lead to freeze peach bs, which in turn is also the lead to Nazi bars. It's leads all the way down to Naziland!

We don't want defed because it's a sledgehammer 'solution' that immediately denies us agency and reeks of Reddit-tier pre-emptive sub banning.

The Nazi Bar idea is for the most part a boogeyman.

If you want your shitty 8chan-esque absolute free speech platform go for it and make your own, just don’t moan that others don’t agree to such nonsense.

Most of us want to avoid the shit instances entirely and we certainly don’t bloody want to have to go around manually investigating and blocking the CSAM or other horrific ones.

But hey, you go do . . . somewhere far away from the rest of us.

Right there with you, I've actually found that it very often is the case.
