would you guys be okay if I put Kaniini's "blocking freespechexteemist except the admin" MRF on
@waifu @solidsanek @CaptainMike919 eh, by principle I'm against it, but if it's a valid reason...
did you get harassed or is it because of their tendencies to invade unrelated threads and shit them up?
@grips @solidsanek @CaptainMike919 i just dont like them at all
i think they would eventually bother me or someone here

That's a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY poor argument.

@matrix @grips @CaptainMike919 @solidsanek I don't quite see why you (and others) are only keen on defending the worst of the worst instances.
can't you cut me some slack?
go bother someone that blocks half of fediverse because dzuk said so. leave my 3 blocks alone.

@waifu @solidsanek @CaptainMike919 @grips
I'm (and others) defending all instances that fall under free speech. I'm a "free speech extremist" (most retarded term ever). If you can't defend "the worst of the worst", you can't defend anyone, because "the worst of the worst" is purely subjective.
It's your instance, block 'em, but "i just don't like them at all" is a poor reason for literary anything.

@matrix @grips @CaptainMike919 @solidsanek I'm not interested in federating with people that are transphobic or spread misinformation (especially when it's to/about me or someone close)
That behavior I don't excuse.

@waifu @solidsanek @CaptainMike919 @grips Well, transphobia is subjective and if they're spreading misinformation (especially when it's about you or someone close), blocking them won't fix anything, since everyone except you will see it anyway.

@matrix @grips @CaptainMike919 @solidsanek
a) no, it isn't
b) It prevents people on my server (and the people viewing my server) from seeing it, and it's also a symbolic sign of disagreement.
Also, it feels good to do it.

@waifu @solidsanek @CaptainMike919 @grips
a) yes, it is
b) sure, does pleroma allow silencing an instance? because simply posts not showing on the federated tl would be understandable

@matrix
Let me rephrase:
a) I'm not interested in letting people that want to reinvent grammar for the sole purpose of hurting me or my girlfriend to be allowed to interact with people on my instance. (To give you an example)
b) I dunno what you think silencing is, but federated timeline removal is not is. Interestingly enough, MRF-simple provides the functionality of FT removal, and any other necessary rules can be written if that's not enough for you. That's beside the point, though.
@matrix @grips @CaptainMike919 @waifu I don't know about the others and how they view this instance, but after following some arguments on this instance and their timeline in general I personally haven't seen anything of interest except from the admin. Unless you think that hating everything makes you cool, it's not a big loss imo.
