@Moon@shitposter.club I do feel bad and I don't feel bad for the "sex worker" instances. Sure, it's not good to be deplatformed, however many of the instances in question (e.g. switter.at) make it very easy to get shuttered. Why? Centralization. Why? Maybe a tragedy of their (sex worker) collective "business model". I guess it's "good for business" or "brand" or something to have everything in one place so that "customers" don't have to go hunting for "content". At any rate, large, centralized networks are not hardened against censorship and targeting. This was the same conundrum faced by, like them or hate them, groups like the KiwiFarms---you put everything into a single metaphorical basket and it's real easy to target. Individual "sex workers" with their own instances or instances for them and a few comrades would be a whole lot more difficult to target as a collective. Any group at risk of censorship, deplatforming, or other attack needs to get wise to evading fire. Simply using "FOSS, decentralized" technology isn't enough if one is only deploying a couple giant instances---try a couple hundred instances. Hell, even a couple dozen would probably suffice.
