It seems almost all the instances run by developers of Fediverse software are blocked, which should raise questions.I'm being completely serious and unironic here: this is because these blocklists, and #fediblock in general, are terrorist tactics created and utilized by Mastodon (collectively) in order to sabotage and destroy the wider Fediverse which Mastodon does not have market-share nor ideological control over.
Mastodon hates the Fediverse---Mastodon wants monopoly over the entire network and wants it to all just be "Mastodon". Mastodon consistently refuses to even refer to the wider network or use terms like "Fediverse".
@waifu@adiz this is why i use the #fediblock hashtag to post pictures of random unrelated shit as freedom of feet does not mean freedom from consequences
@adiz Your narrative is off. What @iska is angry about isn't the blocklist of mastodon.social or any other instance of the Mastodon gGmbH but a list made by a single person as far as I know, @Are0h. And yes, I also think a huge amount of the list "Bad Space" is either nonsense or based on information that simply isn't available.
tl;dr Your hatred makes you blind. If you want to criticize Mastodon - and there are a fuckton of reasons for it - you got to put due diligence into your arguments.
@Natanox@chaos.social I understand and respect your response, and, generally, I concede that you are correct: much of my rhetoric here connecting Mastodon proper or Mastodon collectively to little Fedi ghouls like @Are0h@ubiqueros.com and the mastodon.art clique is tangential.
I would say, however, that it's not completely separate nor unrelated entirely. While individual prawns like Are0h, and terroristic, bad actor instances like .art, represent the extremes of Mastodon toxicity/hostility, this toxicity and hostility still exists and definitely isn't suppressed by Mastodon proper---be it Gagron with GmbH---or Mastodon as a collective entity.
The general attitude maintained by Mastodon-Fedi towards non-Mastodon Fedi is one exuding chauvinism, covetousness, and arrogance. There is definitely a dislike maintained by Mastodon Fedi towards non-Mastodon Fedi. Either happenstance or organized, there has sprung forth multiple and continued attempts by Mastodon Fedi to "otherize", disparage, and subvert the wider network in a sort of collectively conscious agenda to control, dictate, or otherwise silence the greater Fediverse. @iska@catposter.club
@adizcatposter.club is associated in that post with shitposter.club because fediblock dimwits consistently claim ANYTHINGposter.club is literally also run by me, or by people closely associated with me and not just a play on the name of one of the oldest still-running Fediverse servers. As if being malicious isn't bad enough these people are also lazy and stupid. I don't even know who runs catposter.club. They seem nice though.
@coolboymew@waifu@adiz freedom from religion does not mean freedom from consequences either. time to pay jesus my sin tax so i can continue getting the protections of the church and keeping all my wives who love having my babies
