Ah, defederation. Simultaneously the “nuclear option” and also “it won’t actually do anything”
It is funny that the tankies over on lemmygrad got defederated in a heartbeat, Meta would get instantly defederated for being Corporate, but there is “valuable discussion” on EH. I mean seriously, I want a mod response on why one is verboten but the righty whiteys are a-okay. If you are gonna be a home for alt right trash then don’t lie about it!
It’s unfortunate. I got yelled at for saying fascists and Nazis should be deplatformed. Someone literally tried to “whatabout if we did that to LGBT people” me. I’m trying different instances in good faith, but the ones that hold that kind of logic aren’t going to last long.
Well, see, nazis hate Jews (and people of color, and leftists, and…), and LGBT people, uh, well, you see, they uh… anyway you can’t block one and not block the other. See what I mean?
/s. Also, fuck off nazi punks.
Ah gotta love that argument
“We can’t deplatform Nazis, we need to be a tolerant group.”
“They literally want us dead and are doing their best to make our existence illegal, tolerating that is not an option.”
Tolerance is a peace treaty, and the more people who understand that the better.
Maybe look at figuring out how to host your own instance? I’ve got mine running on a 2 thread, 1gb ram server that’ll cost me less than 10 usd a month. So far it actually seems to run rather smoothly.
Then you get to choose who you federate with.
Did you use an Ansible role or docker? Is maintaining a manual federation list easy or a pain?
