     @flaky @cleanycloth @flaky @cleanycloth This. I think nobody has any idea how chaotic it'd be, it'd make the Gab boomer invasion look like a joke.

     @cleanycloth@mastodon.social that's going to be chaotic. Some places are already blocking social.vivaldi.net (Vivaldi browser's official instance) because MUH CORPORATIONS. There's going to be a helluva lot of instances blocking Tumblr if they start federating.

     @flaky @cleanycloth Mastodon.social just hides the blocklist. In fact a lot of Mastodon instances do because instance owners got tired of the passive aggressive BS many Mastodon instances were pulling.

     @cleanycloth@mastodon.social It's understandable for absolute, worst-case scenarios like blocking illegal content, but blocking an entire instance for petty reasons is dumb and makes fediblocking an actual laughingstock.
     
     There was a case when a lot of apps blocked Gab, who I imagine needs no introduction. Fedilab did this too, then revoked its block after Google basically confirmed it wouldn't block fediverse apps for letting Gab users connect via their app. It's like blaming every TweetDeck user for posting heinous content, it's that dumb. A lot of instances started looking at blocking Fedilab as a result.
     
     We're seeing it again with Pleroma and its fork Soapbox/Rebased. Because it's mainly used by free-speech, edgy or right-wing instances, and in the case of Soapbox/Rebased its creator is actually in that crowd, some Mastodon instances will go out of their way to block instances using those by association. Mastodon.social thankfully doesn't do this AFAIK.

     @flaky @cleanycloth Oh right, I forgot they block half the fedi including both instances I use (but not my single user one, which is down rn) ?

     @flaky @cleanycloth Oh yeah, and the thing is a lot of instances are "hate speech" because one to two users were being crazy.
     
     Which is why I have kept this instance up, because running single user instances is the easiest way to get past the Great Firewall of Mastodon.
