"...they are still able to listen into us, and 'interact' with our radio shows (Public Posts), on their side of the fediverse, even if we refuse to listen to them (by blocking them). ...There is a lot of people on here who are working on the software, or are at least interested in it are working on different ways to deal with this issue, and hopefully we’ll be coming up with even more creative solutions in the future."
Great!
Sure if someone wants to harvest our comments, they will find a way. But definitely make that as tough for them as you can.
@carbontwelve @tastytea Awww! Thank you <3
I have been pondering it for a bit. I'm glad I managed to get something readable out of it. :)
@maloki love the analogy to villages and radio waves. That is an excellent way to describe the fediverse!
And I found a fellow
@haagen I'm glad you liked it :)
@maloki there's a post on orange-site about gab. i for some reason thought there was a more coordinated effort the help instances straight out block gab-centric servers too, but i dont see that anywhere atm.

@jauntywunderkind420 I'm not sure what you mean by "more coordinated effort" but, I see it everywhere. Maybe we're just not following the same kind of people?
@maloki Is it ok to share this on Prismo or Birdsite, and if so, which copy should I link to?
@KelsonV probably medium. And yes, it cross-posted to Twitter already.
My nick on Twitter is kinkymal, if you want to boost the post there.
@maloki Good post. And I'm glad that the fediverse-at-large has continued to take a strong cultural stance against fascism.
My only worry is that the tools we have aren't effective enough against sockpuppet instances and the response to being overwhelmed will eventually be defederation, or whitelisting only a few nodes which results in re-centralization. I think we can do better than that though, but I'd better put up or shut up I suppose and write down in detail exactly what I'm thinking :)
@cwebber yes, and I would love to work with you to reach better overall solutions long term.
@maloki I'll leave a spoiler here: "a network of consent". And yeah, everyone's sick of hearing me through around the word "ocap", but ocaps are how we get there.
@cwebber I don't mind ocaps. Let's go!
