I'd prefer a game of Tic Tac Toe
Then blocking it will be!
Trans people are allowed to make their own choices about how they deal with Rowlings transphobia.
The responses in this thread highlight my point. If you don't have explicit rules to stop that shit in its tracks (which you don't), you aren't queer friendly, because queer folk can't exist there without being told that transphobia is fine actually, as long as you like the person doing it.
Perfectly said
That’s not true. Bigots can go into web view and still see posts, they have alts on other instances.
Absolutely, but nothing we're talking about here will stop bigots targetting specific people. What we can do though is decrease the drive by bigots, the ones who just spew hate at whoever they happen to stumble across, or whoever pops up in a hashtag search etc.
You run AP, it is not a secure protocol it was never intended to be.
I'm aware. However the options aren't "free for all" or "impenetrable security". There is a whole spectrum of approaches between those two extremes, and that's what we're talking about here. Insisting that the issue is all or nothing doesn't help
Personally, I love fold phones. They give me portability and a big screen which are the two things I most want in a phone
Beehaw was here long before the fediverse was popular and long before the reddit disaster that sent people rushing to lemmy. Before reddit happened, they were one of the few active and successful lemmy instances that wasn't basically just a lone admin hosting a personal instance.
They didn't "use the fediverse to help them grow". They helped the fediverse grow when hardly anyone else was around.
Just like AP, the bigot can join another instance/relay, if an instance has bad moderation policy, your relay can block that instance/relay entirely.
By your own admission, this doesn't happen though. One relay is the same as the other, and that's because the bigot can just use multiple relays as well, making the effort of an admin blocking them largely a waste of time.
They can do this in AP too.
They can't though, because on AP, an instance that constantly spawns bigots with throw away accounts gets defederated, and that means that bigots have a barrier that doesn't exist on Nostr. On nostr they can create unlimited accounts and use unlimited relays to broadcast their content, relying on the admins to block each and every account manually (which they generally won't do, because what's the point?), which ultimately leads to the end users having to play whack a mole with the bigots.
There’s no way to solve this unless we start requiring a passport photo with every account or a payment or something
I don't have any answers for you. But I can tell you that I actively prefer APs implementation to Nostr's because APs current implementation is safer.
In Nostr, your relay gets to make and enforce it’s own content policies just as easily as it does on AP
And yet they don't.
If you as a user can connect to multiple relays, then most people will do that, making the act of an admin banning a bigot on one relay pointless, because the bigot will still get through on other relays, and once they're blocked on enough relays, they'll just make another throw away account. Which means most admins won't bother acting except in the most egregious cases, leaving it up to the users to deal with their own blocks.
I agree, there needs to be an answer here that lets people keep their identities tied to them rather than an instance, but the nostr approach isn't it. It just leads to everyone for themselves, which is fine for some people, but it's exactly what many other folk were trying to escape by coming to the fediverse in the first place.
Did they ask for permission first? :p
