If you take authority, you take responsibility. @nik is right: once @ConnyDuck is in the business of blocking instances, they have a to have a line, otherwise it's subjective and they'll be screwed. I'd say Gab is tame boomer shit compared to half of fedi, so they have their work cut out for them.
Segregating Nazis (if we take it as a given that the people are Nazis) just means the Nazis don't ever have to answer for themselves. Cults and radical ideologies thrive on isolation.
