@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?

@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 bitcoinhackers.org/@lukedashjr

@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.
