@quillmatiq also, not like there are interesting and challenging questions to discuss what would (and should) actually happen on fedi if vance joined an instance

@toddalstrom @richiekhoo @Gargron @evan

that said, the best course of action would likely to ban vance asap. but i very much do not envy a fedi admin, especially if they are in the usa, if they ever end up with that decision. thats the type of decision that goes way beyond what should be expected of an unpaid volunteering position

@toddalstrom @richiekhoo @Gargron @evan

if you dont ban vance, people on fedi will be extremely mad at you, widespread defederation and signficiant part of your server users will leave

but if you do ban vance, you risk the wrath of the VP of the US and his goon Barr at the FCC. Barr has been vocal about wanting to censor social media sites because of censorship against republicans. banning the US VP when no clear ToS violation has happened will be very excited to Barr

@toddalstrom @richiekhoo @Gargron @evan

fediverse would tear itself apart if vance joined an instance lol

problem is that people (rightfully) hate vance for who he is outside of fedi. but every CoC and ToS from large open-registration fedi instances only deal with conduct that happens while on the fedi server. so if youre a fedi admin and vance joins your server and simply posts 'hello world', what do you do?
