@jwildeboer Is there a lot of active blocking of Nazis happening behind the scenes or is the #fediverse just that more difficult for the general public to use/understand? Acting as a passive gatekeeping mechanism. Aside from not overtly advertising as political, I feel like it’s more the latter.

@damaja @jwildeboer there's a lot of instances quietly blocked behind the scenes, single user "burner" instances set up by the same group of edgelords - they tend to target the large number of LGBT+/trans folk on here and any Black users, and leave alone others (as they are quickly reported and end up having to make another instance).

Fediverse isn't that hard to use, but does attract open minded people who speak more than one language and have a fairly high standard of education..

@vfrmedia @jwildeboer that is unfortunate but glad there is a mechanism that works to isolate

@damaja @jwildeboer there are plenty of darker corners in the Fediverse like the Gab, they are just under strict quarantine.
