Catching up on the CISA stuff. I think we are all caught up in the rational of blocking infosec.exchange and judging that merit, CISAs role, surveillance, etc, but I think that is aside the point.
Other instances owners can block any instance for whatever reason they want, full stop.
Even if that reasoning is perceived to be wrong by others. Their server, their rules. If I want to block a server because a handful of people are annoying that's my right.
When i read initially about the blocks, I took it a little personally at first. "Hey, what the hell did I do?" Like there's a little Michael Scott in me that wants to be loved by everyone, but lets be realistic here, that's not going to happen.
I think the bigger, newer question for those of us in infosec.exchange that are new to the fediverse is are the communities defederating/blocking infosec.exchange large enough and of interest enough to warrant either a 2nd account or a transfer of that account off of infosec.exchange?
Also, is there a list somewhere?
