That's an instance ban. Instance bans automatically issue community bans for local communities the user has been active in.
I just saw a report on it and I've removed the post.
I'm disappointed that the majority of top level replies to this post is a bunch of people deciding to jump in and question its validity. Yeah, it may not be true. But it also could be true, because bigots feel empowered at the moment and may well act in the way described even if they're not technically "meant" to.
So yes, express caution and don't assume everything you read is true, but conversely don't come in to a queer space, in the middle of an active movement against gender diverse folk, and fill the comment section with denials and second guessing, as if everything is fine and its business as usual, as if people are being unreasonable for being concerned
Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a "more aggressive" policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.
If it were decentralised, it wouldn't be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts...
I don't know about beautiful data. That's scary data :/
I will defederate from any instance with admins that excuse transphobia. If that makes our part of the Fediverse quite small, that sucks, but it is what it is. I moved here to get away from social media that won't take action on transphobia. I'm not suddenly going to decide it's ok if it means we get more traffic.
Artificial scarcity (invites) and VC funding
Unless they start brigading heavily or cross a line in terms of the communities they house, we won't be defederating them.
Their own communities are, quite something, but their admins have told them to be on their best behaviour when engaging in communities outside of their instance, and so far, they seem to be doing that
I'm the admin :P
Just be to clear, the state of the union post was an explanation of coming downtime, not a call for panic :)
We've got the solution and way forward for these issues.
You don't have to move if your main concerns are impact on our resources.
There's no such thing as "lazy". It's always, always, always a word used to make someone feel guilty for hitting a personal limit or threshold.
Even if you want to work on those thresholds and improve them, you can achieve that without framing yourself as fundamentally selfish and uncaring.
