But if the server admins are like “🎉 Hey everyone! I know that you will all love to see him, please welcome Mass Murderer Johnny Regular! 🎉”, that’s when you ban the entire instance.
Did Bsky do this? Or did they just verify an official account of a government entity?
The SS was a government organisation, are you saying we should welcome them into our servers? Islamic State was a government organisation, are you saying we should welcome them? - No, we shouldn’t.
The SS wasn't a government organisation, it was a military unit. It's like having an official account for 101st Airborne. I don't mind these not being around, but ICE is a federal entity, their primary task is to handle immigration and Customs Enforcement (that's literally their name). The fact that they got turned into para-SA/SA by the current administration is kinda' irrelevant here.
We’re not legalists, just cause it’s legal and officially supported by a government doesn’t magically make it moral
Instance admins shouldn't be moral police.
It’s implicit support of them.
That's an absolutely insane take. Imagine saying: "allowing Nvidia to have an account on the Fediverse implicitly means the Fediverse supports everything Nvidia is doing with AI and chip/RAM supply".
