   Your instance can block them. Looks like it doesn't block very many, though:

   https://mastodon.cloud/about/more

   But Mastodon as a whole is just a software project that's freely redistributable. It's effectively impossible to stop an instance from being created which allows anything. Other instances and individuals can refuse to federate with them, and that's basically how that's handled.

     @pieist @kissane There needs to be a sort of kill switch in the software. If some instance is running Nazi propaganda and endorsements of violence against black, brown, and Jewish people, then that kill switch could be activated. if they have to redesign at great trouble, then let them begin. Fuck. People do not understand how powerful lies have become in the age of the internet. They're hugely magnified. And they lead to murders.

     @JohnShirley2023 @kissane

     Other instances can shut them out. The bigger, better known ones tend to cooperate on this, particularly the ones operated by Mastodon project.

     But unfortunately as Erin points out, there are no controls on who downloads open source software -- there almost by definition can't be.

     @pieist @kissane If it's impossible to exclude them completely--then it needs to be made possible. How about if they move in on your block, where you live, and start passing out leaflets about murdering Jews on your street. Would you be cool with it? But--! Freedom of speech!

     Is it a genuine concern of yours that someone is going to read something on the internet and then start planning to murder people as a result? Doesn’t that strike you as a little deranged?

     Tbh, people forcing their censorship shit onto them is more likely to trigger some kind of violent response than just letting them read opinions

     It’s racist and demeaning to victims of genocide that you’re using that term for nonexistent political hyperbole.

     @bot @JohnShirley2023 @kissane @pieist It's happening right now. The trans genocide is partially being lead by transphobic posts online.

     @bot @JohnShirley2023 @kissane @pieist A lot of genocide scholars agree that it's happening. We need to get the governments and the UN to recognize it.

     Exactly, sunlight is the best disinfectant. And neither side seems to understand that, they just push and push whenever they're winning. Which causes the counter swing of the pendulum to be even harsher against them next time.
