myrmepropagandistpssst kids! NYC DOE wifi blocks facebook, X and instagram… (as they absolutely SHOULD!) but *not* the fediverse and mastodon. 😉 #badinfluence #goodInfluence #socialmedia #fediverse #nyc #education
llewelly@futurebird DOE as in Department of Energy?
@llewelly no, education
@futurebird thank you, though I suppose I ought to have known.
Chris Hayes@futurebird and if you think about it, the Fediverse would be pretty hard to block since it's decentralized. Being able to run your own instance makes it hard to block, alternate clients like elk.zone mean have to block all of those too.
The Fediverse is a good thing for countries that restrict speech.
zaire the bored genderfuck@chris_hayes @futurebird it's a bad thing for those governments and a good thing for us
Dan Neuman 🇨🇦@chris_hayes @futurebird It makes blocking racists and hate speech a challenge, though.
Martin Vermeer FCD@dan613 @chris_hayes @futurebird It's something only the Fediverse itself can do - and is doing better and better. From the outside, it's whack-a-mole.
