After some thinking I have decided to block librem.one on my server. After a long discussion yesterday I was able to convince them to re-enable reports, but in that discussion I ran into red flags that made me believe their moderation decisions would not be sound - like wanting to be absolved from responsibility for white supremacist content posted on user profiles. That is a huge indicator of what kind of member of the fediverse they will be, and I am not for it. I also cannot recommend their librem.one service for any marginalized group.
This will stay in place until they make it clear they will not tolerate hatred and bigotry on their platforms.
@brainblasted have they even published a TOS for their stuff yet?
@brainblasted that’s good enough to nail the coffin shut for me

Would it be possible for you to link to some of those red flags? I'm also interested in the issue

@brainblasted Signs of movement though so maybe they need just a little more pressure.
@brainblasted I should declare an interest here. I have preordered one of their phones, now reconsidering.
@brainblasted Honestly as far as their services go, the further down the rabbit hole I go the more displeased I am, seeing as though they seem to give a lot of lip service about helping out upstream and the like when they didn't even even bother to ask the creator of Tusky if it'd be OK for them to fork their software and slap their brand on top of it.

@brainblasted Quick question, as I'm unfamiliar with how exactly it works:

I can still see your posts from my librem.one account, so does instance blocking simply keep users on your instance from seeing posts by those on the blocked instance? Just curious.

@Akzel essentially. It also prevents new posts from going directly to librem.one, so they only show up if it is relayed there by someone a person there follows.
@brainblasted was this a private discussion or was this on fedi somewhere (if so can I have a link because holy shit (also I 100% believe you I just... need to burn this further into my skull))
