So the rage.love folks seem lovely; asking for me (apparently “a massive tool”) to be fediblocked because I called Twitter/X a Nazi bar.

Hmm… 🤔

@aral
I am having a really hard time with all the Fediblock posts that amount to "This server allows rhetoric that I personally find slightly exaggerated, so no one on anyone's server should ever have access to anyone on theirs ever again." Block everyone for any reason! Defederate according to your own server's rules, all you want! But demanding a unified defederation by everyone on a hashtag most of us trust to keep pedophiles/genociders/scammers from getting to our people...?

@carrideen Yeah, it’s a massive abuse of a system that should be for the serious kind of things you mention, not “I think so-and-so is a ‘massive tool’ and every instance should block them.”

@aral Did someone already address the question "who is allowed to post to a given hashtag"?

When in Freenet / Hyphanet a person’s trust goes below 0, not even their trust ratings are downloaded anymore. That’s how the system stops abusing trust values to circumvent blocking. You can’t fully unsee what happens, though, because you always see the ratings by people who block the abuser.
