@charlag @maloki If I block you, you canβt see my public toots. Thatβs not how it works at the instance level. Hereβs how that works:
-Admin A on server A sees that Nazis set up server B.
-Admin A suspends server B
-Server A deletes all data from B in its database, doesnβt write new data
-Server B still connects directly to server A, delivers Aβs data directly to Nazis on B
-Nazis on B can @ and interact with statuses on A
Iβm fucking sick of βyou canβt do anything about it because itβs P U B L I C and F E D E R A T E Dβ when it would be trivially easy for instance suspension to reduce the access a suspended instance has by simply rejecting direct requests from the suspended instance.
If it worked that way and enough instances suspended the Nazi instance, theyβd be actually cut off from the greater fediverse the same way herd immunity keeps a disease from infecting people who arenβt vaccinated.
Instead, the Nazis can directly connect to the instances that have suspended them and see and interact with the users. Those users wonβt see that Nazis are stalking and organizing against them because their instances wonβt deliver the notifications (most of the time).
Itβs a trash design that doesnβt provide any safety at all and I have no confidence that anyone with the ability and resources to fix it is the slightest bit interested in doing so.
re: CTA ATTENTION ALL FEDIVERSE ADMINS:
@maloki Is there a specific instance or server I can block? I'm running Friendica, not Mastodon.
