Yesterday I posted about worries re. moderation at mastodon.social/.online:

And asked the community to feed back about whether they'd like to do nothing, 'silence', or 'defederate'. The response was almost entirely in favour of silencing.

Today, especially after noticing that those two instances DO federate with an instance that hosts fascist content, we went ahead with that silence:

Thank you, .art, for supporting a solid no-nazi stance. <3

@Curator wanted to say thanks for hosting this discussion. i moved from .online based on this because as a new user, i wasn't fully aware of what i was doing when i signed up and just picked an instance. thanks 👍

@fairytaleteacup <3 That's awesome. Glad it was useful - and yeah, many people are in the same boat as you. It's problematic that those instances get pushed as the 'main' instances. .art suffers similarly; there are only two other art instances on joinmastodon.org, but there are LOADS of other art instances out there in the fediverse. joinmsato shows a tiny, tiny fraction of all available instances and that's problematic.

@Curator absolutely, as that's how i found what instances are open or not.
