@fedilab Everybody should block Gab, everywhere, all the time.
@paulakreuzer
But why Mastodon itself doesn't do it? It would be more powerful in that case.
@fedilab What do you mean with mastodon? The software, so that instances can't decide not to block Gab? Is that possible?
@paulakreuzer
I asked Gargron why he doesn't write the block feature in its project. That would be more powerful (automatically all instances will block Gab)
But he didn't want to create a precedent. So why app dev, should do it for a small impact if there is no risks to be banned?

@fedilab @paulakreuzer Because once you open the floodgates, the pitchfork wielding mobs will come knocking at your door, demanding you add an instance they don't like on your list.
