@Mastodon @moderation

Decided to block this server & profiles manually.

But shouldn't this #server be completely blocked by #mastodon .social & others?

Don't think anybody wants to see this kind of stuff on the #fediverse...

@gavi did some interesting #research on the other #instances related to it (which seem to be blocked): mastodon.social/@gavi@wanderin…

Mastodon

^{mastodon.social}

If you switch #instances you would lose every contact on an instance blocked on the new server, correct?

So for example, if I moved the #Madeindex project to a server that has defederated Mastodon.social, every contact from mastodon.social would be gone, right?

You raise an important issue with the #decentral / #federation idea of the #fediverse.

The concentration of power might become an increasing issue looking into the future. If, e.g., #Mastodon gGmbH decided to threaten blocking #instances unless they remove certain users, content...

Thinking about switching there are concerns of losing: SEO-wise, reach, contacts/followers, character & poll limit (😜)...
