@epilanthanomai #SignsAndCodes I woke up to multiple follows from the instance "soc.ua-fediland.de" this morning. One of which, "@[email protected]" contained Ukranian neo-Nazi imagery. The other two featured the names of weapon systems. Instance rules in translation smacked of "free speech zone" stuff. I have strong sympathies for Ukraine, but this is way over the line. I'm defederating the instance and any users here are welcome to appeal that to me.
@epilanthanomai #SignsAndCodes Actually, looking at the instance from my alt-accounts, it doesn't appear to be wall-to-wall Azov material, and I don't want to cut off a Ukrainian-speaking instance unless we must. One of our users is my dear friend @scalene who may be impacted by cutting off federation to a Ukrainian instance. So, I'm willing to consider removing the block if it's too heavy a moderation tool.
@roadriverrail I'm slow getting up today (still ill), but I'll take a look first thing.
