Can this instance not give a shit about racism then?

@annaaurora I actually have no idea what they're referring to, we don't have any racist users on here... We've actually banned multiple users in the past for being racist. Maybe they don't like that we don't block other instances that are known for being racist?

I'm sorry that you had to deal with that response from their admin, and I apologize that we're blocked from plural.cafe, but if the admins won't budge on their decision or provide more details so we can resolve their problem on our side there's nothing we can do 

@annaaurora I just had a look at their block list and they seem to limit/suspend some of the largest instances on the fediverse without publicly listing any reasons for their decisions...

limit mastodon.social
suspend mstdn.io
limit mastodon.cloud
limit mas.to
limit mastodon.online
suspend fosstodon.org (extremely puzzled by this one)

Sadly, I think any users on that instance will always have trouble communicating with their friends on other instances.

You might have better luck asking your friends to sign up on a different instance with less strict policies instead. We don't block many instances ourselves, so as long as their new instance doesn't block ours everything should be 👌

@dean Oh well, I'm asking them again with your info.
