This is a gold mine! Thanks guys for reposting and boosting so much, I’m discovering so many new peers that I can defederate later 🤩

#Fediblock had a good chuckle, but “eientei.org” is a dangerous instance with the admin @NEEToree promoting and allowing antisemitism, holocaust revisionism, etc. to flourish whilst keeping a leaderboard (https://eientei.org/highscores/ ) of which user has been reported and blocked the most.

The post I reported was the following: https://eientei.org/objects/02d7854f-d376-4b0e-885c-eaba824b8e08 (thread)

This user @lina claimed “Anne Frank is a fictional character” and made many other comments denying the holocaust and the existence of its victims.

Let’s halt their scoreboard and defederate the instance altogether.

I just had the best phone call in my entire life. If this goes through, I just became a lot of people’s worst enemy.

@april thank you for liking this, even though it’s probably a cryptic message to you that makes no sense.

I will reveal what this means tomorrow, I think you’ll like the story.

I can reveal it now. This was about the domain “mastodon.de”, I just registered it. It entered the grace period on the 5th of January 2023, I contacted the legitimate owners who had forgot about it and they are now willing to transfer the domain to me free of charge. Very awesome.

I thought this wouldn’t be possible, as I haven’t heard of the owners since today, I had a group of people set up trying to register the domain for the whole night, so it would’ve been a fight, but we bypassed this through the people capable of registering it during the grace period.

Wow, I own mastodon.de now. Feeling happy.

What a troll it’d be to host Soapbox on there I think I’d be sued instantly. But for just a day or sth I’ll absolutely do that as a joke.

How much money would you need to buy the place yourself? This sucks.

To be fair, how does Mastodon impose their politics beliefs on others?

They merely ask you to have moderation and stuff if you want to be featured on their website, there are no rules to using Mastodon. The only rule to using the Mastodon name in a domain for example would be to use the Mastodon software.

So how is Mastodon imposing their political beliefs on anyone?

Yeah, I really don’t get this.

Forking the repo, keeping everything as it is, compiling from source to…. own Alex Gleason?

I moderate r/Fediverse and often express my beliefs about this: I don’t care who made the software. I never paid you a dime. You support software freedom the way I do, your software doesn’t contain any inherent biases, I can use it in whatever way I want to.

You made a tool. You didn’t make a tool that can only be used in one way or the other. You made a tool. I’m not going to stop using your tool simply because I disagree with you. I’d only do that if I’d have to pay for your tool.

And if it’s about using software made by someone you disagree with then…. what’s a fork gonna do? 99% of that source code will still be written by the guy you’re trying to avoid. Makes no sense to me…

Strong agree! Would be awesome if Medium would allow their users to switch instances like the Fedi allows you to!
