@Gargron Your refusal to offer a platform to Nazis is what brought me to Mastodon. Surely there is a case to block the dreadful volk.network Please consider #FediBlock
@Tattered No he in fact cannot. That's the way decentralized federation works. This is by design. Mastodon.social moderators cannot moderate what happens on other Fediverse instance, they can only choose to remove posts, delete accounts or choose do defederate instances from mastodon.social (their view of the Fediverse).
If they delete a post from another instance, that post still exists on that other instance. If they defederate an instance, that instance is still completely free to federate with others.
@phnt Yep; got it. I got a nice DM from a mastodon social moderator, pointing out that I need to talk to the team at Vivaldi Social. Generally speaking, as many instances as possible blocking the Nazis, the better. Let them talk to each other, without sullying the conversation of others.
Why not just block them individually. Let people decide who they want to talk to. You are an adult. You don't need to cry to daddy because someone uses some words you don't like.
I wrote this post last month. People like you break the fediverse, and your own heads. Don't be an echo chamber unto yourself:
1. That's not how the Fediverse works. 2. Even if it were, you're still a faggot for wanting people censored.

P.S. The Holocaust is a lie, gays, trannies, & furries are moral stains, and niggers and beaners are privileged in America because they are useful to Jews.
@Tattered@phnt (The reality is slightly messier than what I just said but because you will be fucking off to the section that doesn't talk to anyone ever at all this is good enough for you.)
@Tattered@phnt This is functionally what happens. The end result is that the fediverse is functionally split into two halves: people who are OK talking to Nazis and people who are not. They have two very different cultures.
The type of conversation you're having right now - where you actually talk to someone on the internet - is only possible on the half that talks with Nazis. This is because we comment far more than we post: we like interaction with other people, we aren't here to grandstand. We don't view this as a "platform for fighting about ideas," we view this as the bar we hang out in.
You clearly want a place to fight about ideas, and so you belong on the half of fedi that doesn't talk to nazis.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@tsundere.love@Tattered@social.vivaldi.net@phnt@fluffytail.org the "nazi" side of fedi is unironically more civil than the side that "fights the nazis" and this is because there is no culture of paranoia that someone may be a SECRET nazi, someone may just be a nazi OR they may be a fucking dipshit trolling people like a nazi, OR they may be someone from the "fight the nazi" side of fedi getting their nazi posting out.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@phnt@Tattered they want to use it like Twitter is now; to just broadcast and whine about their ex (but if someone whines about them it's literally kiwifarms)
