server admin nominates blatant fascist to moderate
Aight I'mma head out. I've given you enough benefit of the doubt, but now you have made yourself clear. Beehaw was right to defederate you.
Giving the admin the benefit of the doubt for now, but if you don't get banned, then that finalizes my decision to swap instances. Like OP said, being soft on fascists is just being a cryptofascist.
Someone already felt it appropriate to make a TheDonald community on here and it hasn't been removed yet. :/
It's not looking good for this instance...
Aye.
Despite their claims, the evidence clearly shows they are a fascist instance. And fascists must NEVER be tolerated unless you want to become The Nazi Bar yourself. With enough "nay" votes, this could already be true.
Failure to uphold the most basic community safety will force me to move instances, and I'm sure many others will do the same, so then you will quickly see my point.
If the choice is between:
The internet is nothing but hallucinated bot content, or
You have to flash government ID every time you post, and anonymity is impossible,
Then both means the internet is dead.
An instance is not federated with another until the first link is initiated manually. After that, they can talk to each other.
This is why if you are browsing a curated list of instances/communities on some website, and then go to search for them on your current instance, sometimes they don't show up, and you have to paste the full link in the search bar and wait for it to "find" it. You are initiating its federation.
So, no, this is not all instances. Some are still yet to be discovered by yours.
This "unlinked" state is different from being blocked, because a blocked instance is actively forbidden from being federated with your server. It can't talk to you even if it wants to, and you can't talk to them either. A total disconnect.
If you make your own instance you'll probably have to manually connect to some others to start with. Following people helps, because it adds any servers that they follow too.
