Gregory's Server@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. |
@Gargron @verretor Thanks for the response. That is what I understood too. But what happened in the specific case of Gab? What was the problem there?
