What if instances in return block selected clients, like @tootapp for example?

@tootapp but that would make your app unusable for some paying customers

@nawi Gab is absolutely bad, though. The question is, when you see evil, do you stand idly by and do nothing?

I don't.

@nawi @tootapp I'm OK with this. I know I don't want to: see hate speech, support Nazis or condone white supremacist terrorists. If my admin will take care of this so I don't have to, I'm good with that. If my admin later makes a decision that I don't like, such as perhaps boosting anti-vax or climate denial, then I'll move somewhere more sane and less stupid. Or run my own instance. Setting "norms" is part of a platform providers responsibility, which T and FB have failed at.

@tep Exactly, you can move somewhere. But on iOS are not so many clients out there for Mastodon / Pleroma. So, if a app developer decides to use censorship, then there are not really alternatives. And, if all app developer do that, then the platform (iOS) is useless. @tootapp

@nawi First, there is already no app on iOS for reading gab. After this, the situation will be the same.

Second, is a platform really useless to you if you can’t access a far-right white supremacist website?

@nawi @tootapp So, the app becomes useless for talking to Nazis? (SRSLY - I get what you're saying, but if an app owner goes overboard and starts blocking non-hate speech, then there will be a market for a different app.)
