It's not okay to force other instance admins to block everything you also block (as admin or user)
The point of the Fediverse is to have a lot of different instances with each their own guidelines
Ofc we need to be on the same line but that doesn't mean everything has to be 1-to-1
Personally I don't agree with: "I'll block you if you don't block what I block'
Stop that

If you don't like decisions made by your admin there are always thousands of other instances to move to that perhaps do fit your view ❤️
If that's also not the case, you can always setup your own Fedi server and block all you want, no hard feelings
All we can do is suggest things to each other to make it better, not forcing it

in reply to stux⚡ • • •Who's being forced here?
"You should block [X] because [reason, e.g. they federate with Threads]. We block anyone federated with Threads" is no more dictatorial than saying "Don't tell other servers who to block, don't warn them you block servers that federate with Threads".
People can run servers as they please, federate and block as they please, develop policies and red lines between themselves. Defederation cuts both ways.

in reply to jack • • •You're missing the point 😉
Everyone can run their server as they see fit but do not force it on others by repeating calling them out etc
Just block and be done with it if thats your way

in reply to stux⚡ • • •This is Mastodons greatest strength, and also it's greatest flaw. You are bound to find a place for yourself. But servers are subject to the whims of the admins.
I've personal experience with this. Having to leave a previous server. Because my Admin, while a resonable guy, left after a spat with less reasonable admins. It was handed to another admin, also a reasonable guy. But the service, once smooth, became unstable and buggy. Now I'm here, considering whether to pay for my own server.

And everyone you love goes to hell forever and ceases to be. Along with you.
All that you hate happens. And all that you hate is good. All that you hate wins. And all that you hate is loved by all.
Every harm against you and your ancestors is blessed and good. All that you are is undone. And all you get is punishment.
All your love dies. All that you have is taken. And all that you love kills you.

Very cowardly IMHO

is it thin-skinned to want people to stop making it super easy for shit companies to kill us faster and make life harder the entire time?
or like, is that just my opinion man

Because it shows skin so thin that the person would buy into that conspiracy theory as the analog of a salve.

He blocked me when I pointed out that he might need a little perspective, which was so predictable it was reassuring

in reply to stux⚡ • • •Isn't this a self solving problem though? Let them block everyone they don't like. They end up isolating themselves.
Yes I see that as creating an echo chamber or whatever, but any weirdo trying to force their values on others probably aren't contributing much to the overall conversation anyway.
Isn't the point that this sandbox is to big to care about someone's one square foot of it,

in reply to stux⚡ • • •Fediblock, while intended for honest comm, has morphed into a mechanism of laziness where (some) instance admins are more than happy to block instances without receipts. Very high school.
I don't have a better answer or solution other than to recommend those on such instances move to a better place and financially support that place if happy with their admin/mod team. The easiest way to fight shit-tier admining/modding is to starve such instances of users and finances.
To those that work hard to provide a positive, drama-free (as much as possible) environment for its users, I salute you.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •I disagree. If your friend is a bad person and you help them do bad things, then you are a bad person too, and I want nothing to do with you OR your friend.
It's a spectrum. It depends how bad your friend is.
But as a general rule, I have no problem at all with people shunning those who refuse to shun bad people.
Also, this has nothing to do with "force". It's not "force". It's exercising my right to associate with whomever I choose. You have the same right. But if you have bad friends, I may not choose you. Or you may not choose me. Those calls are ours to make.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •I do have some minimal requirements there though.
If you don't block Nazis for example as that is a legal risk for me - my instance falls under German law. The same with child porn and obv hate speech.
