> This is nonsense, create criticism and offer no solutions simply because someone can screenshot.
I think you got it wrong, we passed already that stage, it happened, countless times. So to say it is nonsense seems nonsense to me...

> People can legally obtain guns and commit harms so there should be no laws as deterrence nor justice for victims since people can get around things?
:blobcatgoogly: rarely heard such a stupid comparison. If you really compare guns with online comments then you seem lost to me...
Lets be realistic, in Fediverse the Law is the Code & Protocols in terms of federation and you will never be able to enforce certain code & protocols, because you cannot control the code of foreign servers.

> If one screenshots then it becomes obvious to others that the person has gone around the block & provided a screenshot.
If one screenshots or abuse the protocols, that one pretty much doesnt care about your feelings at all, assuming you are the victim in this situation.

> That has societal ramifications. Federation was never meant as so “town hall” thus having allowlist actually
Of course it has, the result will be drama, as always, as it happens and will happen. And right, a network based purely on Allowlists would not be an alternative to existing ones and you probably wouldn't be here in fediverse, like me.
