Allowing oppressive language 'you disagree with' isn't encouraging free speech, it's encouraging the use of tools specifically designed & used to silence the speech of marginalised people.
Apologies if you followed me and haven't seen an expected follow-back yet! I've been followed by a lot of folks over what was already a busy weekend!
I'm perfectly content to see federation whitelisting, blacklisting, and graylisting in the Mastodon ecosystem.
It's clear from the history of email that all three approaches are necessary:
* Blacklists for e.g. the known spammers.
* Whitelists for e.g. corporate email that needs to stay in-house.
* Graylists for e.g. Google Mail, which has to deal with everyone.
The tools for a wide spectrum of federation approaches are being built even now.

another srs post here, wont be long:
we are happy there are more folks here but FYI newbies, Mastodon's community was founded by gays, trans folx, POC, furries. Not only do we take no BS from Nazis, we won't have you ruining this place for us.
YOU ADJUST TO US. Mic drop 🎤

email wouldn't have the massive staying power it does if it weren't open to federation
we figured out how to deal with the issues that came with it

I'm at the Mastodon
I'm at the awoo.space
I'm at the federated Mastodon and awoo.space
Would you back a Patreon or the like if I ran one to support a queer furry gamedev instance?
Whitelisted federation looks like a practical necessity. Probably a referral system for membership. Might need a more private payment system. Some way to sponsor memberships for devs with needs. Still a proposal in progress.

Contemplating how to go about building a patreon fund for our staff who need the money
Anyone have any advice for this kind of thing? Do I need an LLC or something like that to distribute funds without any US tax burden?

death, poverty, mastopol cont.
a final point i'll make about critically engaging with how you distribute and exercise your resources is this parting thought: gargron isn't the only person who has put or is putting work into this website, but he is the only person getting money out of it. if you can boost his patreon, there's no reason you can't boost mine too.
bleak appreciates your listening. feel free to drop a coin in the jar / boost

Feeling kind of lewd, but still on an airplane, so the most I can handle is SFW teasing.
