Not accepting intolerance isn't being a dictator. Plus you can just switch instance if you don't agree with it's moderation.
The whole point of federation is shit communities can be dropped if they don't match up with your instances ideals.
The instance admins don't want the hassle of moderating content from bad instances and it's totally up to them.
If people don't like it they can move. No Biggie.
Or your instance can defederate instances that go against their principles (the whole point of defederation) and you can create an account on the other.
If they want to see both instances they can create an account on both instances and follow the instances rules.
You can mod however you choose. Other people don't have to give a shit or listen to it.
Homophobia, transphobia and racism do in fact cause real harm. There's no need for it.
I don't care if some uneducated idiot is stuck 30/40 years in the past mentally.
I gain absolutely nothing by hearing it and don't care what they think.
Not full of hateful losers != Sterile lol
Also gives the tools to defederate. This is exactly what they are for.
The big advantage of federation is that shit instances can be removed. It's one of the big selling points. If an instance wants to allow hateful trash they do so at the risk of being cut off.
I would imagine all that was detailed in the license.
I like it. The get or add idea seems good. I assume if you want to set it explicitly you just use existing methods.
They forcibly replaced mods doing the blackout with ones that would end it. They ended the rebellion swiftly.
The new protest they are doing is changing the rules of subs.
For example pics only allows picturws of John Oliver, memes only allows memes about landed gentry.
They also have free moderation which most companies spend millions on.
Will do. Enjoy your racism and transphobia I guess.
