I remember joining the fedi back in the day and immediately noticing how hateful it was, so I talked about it.
The popular response was, 'Then start your server and leave.' Ha, so I did. I started Play Vicious.
And those same people who told me to do my own thing harassed us to such an extent my team didn't want to do it anymore.
Those same people are now bitterly complaining about defederation.
It's not about blocklists and defederation. It's about control. They want to solely influence who does and doesn't get to be in this place.
PV was a gear in the works because they didn't want Black and Brown folks here, so it pissed off many people that it became popular.
Because it proved, the fedi could be more than a white utopia. It proved the fedi wanted to be more than that.
And as bigots are, they've never let that go.
