The origin of blob.cat is somewhat bundled with certain freespeech servers since back when this server was created, the knowledge of how to handle pleroma/akkoma wasnt that widespread and occasionally admins helped each other with technical issues. But in the same time the origin admin made clear rules which are enforced since day 1 until today so we arent a freespeech server at all. There is one controverse thing: The admins of blob.cat dont want the authority to block other instances, they enforce rules locally and only block the bare minimum of other servers since users can do all the blocks and decisions themself.
And now you can imagine how hard it can be: Due to non-blocking servers and the privacy aware ideology things could lead to drama. We are also blocked by many servers since some of them dont like that we refuse to block servers... completely ignoring the fact that we enforce rules.
Now onto the current situation: Lately someone agreed to moving to a different server, the reason why i pushed this was, this person only posted politically stuff (news and opinions). In general politic is fine if its respectfully and not against the rules. This person tho rather posted in a aggressive way and politic only, which is against the ideology but was still somewhat in the line so i didnt enforce the move, i rather convinced the person that this doesnt fit to blob.cat since we originally also have a rule that blob.cat isnt created primarily for having political debates...
Due to how the rules are made and enforced, rather through talking and not just taking actions, those situations became extremely nerve-wracking, since it usually affects peoples that do have strong opinions on things, so in this case somehow the mood of the person which moved away changed in such a way, that they claimed we are a bunch of fascists...
So i occasionally fight against all sorts of things... sometimes it is quick, sometimes it can last for days or even weeks, sometimes everything is great for months...
