with the recent #fediblock nonsense targeting my home instance and some people who I follow (and who are, in my experience, 100% cool and don't deserve the bullshit accusations being thrown at them), I feel like I have to say something: a thread🧵

BUT some people take this a step too far and try to isolate entire instances because they personally don't like the actions of one user. With no due process. Without even trying to understand the context. Often without any good reason. Sometimes, because of a conflict that *they* themselves have started. (2/N)

@mayday > When you defederate entire lists of instances without any thought, you disrupt this connection. This increases the chances that, if one of the remaining servers fails, the network will loose its connectivity and split into multiple "islands". Instances won't be able to talk to each other anymore. I'm sorry, but that's not how ActivityPub works |
obviously, defederating instances that are *actually* filled with nazis, bigots and people who post violent/disturbing stuff is all fine and well.
Fascists, bigots and the far right (no matter how they call themselves) are not welcome here and shouldn't be allowed to harm other users.
