 @michaelfolkson @verretor My approach to censorship is that I literally don't have any power. I write code, you either use it or you don't or you fork it. The power resides with whoever runs your Mastodon server. I only run mastodon.social and mastodon.online. @michaelfolkson @Gargron @verretor The example with Gab proves that even if developers of apps implement hardcoded blocklists for instances, working around that is a simple fork away. I don't think you can prove censorship resistance more thoroughly than that. @kekcoin @Gargron @verretor Right, I guess I'm interested in why Gab defederated itself. It looks like they just didn't want people accessing Gab via Mastodon for some reason https://bitcoinhackers.org/@lukedashjr/105537774307792095 @michaelfolkson @kekcoin @verretor They turned federation off because they got made fun of by the fediverse, from both left and right corners. That's my understanding of it. Even if it were only an example it offends people in that instance. I hope you understand this. |
@Gargron @verretor Have you talked anywhere publicly about your approach to censorship @gargron? I listened to your interview on SE Daily. Of course the repo can be forked if your approach to censorship doesn't align with a community's. I'm not entirely sure what happened with Gab though.
