Fediverse

The reason they keep picking on smaller servers is because it works, and it increases their power. I was on one that got targeted by WP recently due to some disagreement with our admin. Literally I have no idea what the disagreement was. But we were added to the blocklist, something about being "harmful to marginalised communities". And when our admin got discouraged enough to shut down the server, guess where probably about half of our users migrated to?

This is the kind of drama that is snooze worthy but I’m glad some people care enough to get riled up by it so things happen or change. Is there perhaps an actionable summary here or just this season recap on the story so far?

The whole instances thing is flawed. It’s mostly a copy of the walled garden system of corporate big social, including the capacity to install shitty power hungry leaders and the lack of user-centric freedom and control. Hopefully we get a more hybridised system down the line.

I found this a very intriguing read. I'm sorry to read that all this happened and wish that people could just treat each other with kindness. And when not, be the bigger person and just ignore it.

This kind of drama does not help the fediverse grow. Not every disagreement is an attack on a marginalized group but neurotic individuals that can't handle intrapersonal conflicts blowing things up into needless drama is going to actually bring more hate on those groups as it perpetuates stereotypes and blowing up petty disputes dilutes actual marginalization.

You stated you edited and added your opinion you should’ve used the terms lied and mischaracterised, that would’ve been more truthful
