On July 4th Gab is coming on to the Fediverse by switching over to Mastodon on their servers.

This means that you can shut the door on them today by preemptively have them fully suspended from your instances. So your users do not have risk getting harassed by any of their users, and they from the start be blocked off from major portions of the Fediverse.

Thank you for your consideration and

@maloki unless Eugen has a big change of heart recently, suspending instances doesn’t keep them from seeing you or getting your data.

It doesn’t stop them from responding to, boosting, or faving your toots. It just makes it so you don’t see any of it.

@SelfsameSynonym @maloki and it would work the same in any other federated system without authentication basically

@charlag @maloki I’m sorry, I was yawning. What irrelevant excuse were you making for Eugen’s terrible design?

@SelfsameSynonym @maloki it's not an excuse. It's just what is public is public for everyone. Another possibility is share with specific groups. Tell me how I'm wrong please.

@charlag You're not wrong, and I don't think we should engage with infighting, we are on the same side here.
Let's focus on what we can do, and see where that'll lead us
