Ho defederato da Varese Social i domini delle istanze presenti nella blocklist unificata Tier 0 di Oliphant: https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/commit/19f21f3a403848f38703278dbbd75a9be6eaebe4/blocklists/_unified_tier0_blocklist.csv
Non è stata persa nessuna connessione tra gli utenti dell’istanza con quelle defederate.
Ci sono alcune che sto rivedendo manualmente alle quali rimuoverò il blocco poichè (a parere mio) non risultano dannose: ad esempio mastodon.la o mastdn.jp

“THE OPEN DOOR… explores the borders between the natural physical world and the spiritual one. Like many of Oliphant’s ghost stories, it is about a past which refuses to be silent and a modernity which refuses to listen to it.”
—Prof Rosemary Mitchell on Margaret Oliphant’s THE OPEN DOOR

CW: The Fediverse has quote-posts right now, it can quote-post Mastodon toots with no problems, and no Mastodon switch will change that; CW: long (over 4,500 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, quote-post meta
One of the worst aspects of Mastodon's plans to introduce quote-posts with a switch:
You keep having to tell Mastodon users that the Fediverse is not only Mastodon. That (insert a long list of Fediverse server applications here¹) have had quote-posts from the beginning. That they're all in the Fediverse. That they're all fully federated with Mastodon. That they can all quote-post any Mastodon toot they can possibly receive or import. And that they will be able to quote-post any Mastodon toot they can in the future, regardless of Mastodon account settings.
Up until this point, they were fully, firmly convinced that they're 100% safe from quote-posts on Mastodon. Either because they could not for the lives of them imagine that anything in the Fediverse has them. Or simply because they "knew" up until this point that the Fediverse is Mastodon. And if Mastodon introduces an opt-out or opt-in switch, this switch will mean absolute, 100% water-tight safety from quote-posts.
But for the Fediverse outside of Mastodon, the quote-post switch will be completely useless. Again: These lots of Fediverse server apps have had quote-posts before Mastodon introduced them. They had quote-posts before Mastodon invented the opt-in or opt-out switch. I mean, at least two of them have had quote-posts since before Mastodon even existed! So how are they supposed to support a proprietary, non-standard, Mastodon-specific switch which probably won't be documented anywhere before Mastodon rolls out quote-posts?
I'll tell you what'll happen.
Mastodon users will deactivate quote-posts for their accounts or not activate them in the first place. Non-Mastodon users, not knowing about the status of that switch, will quote-post them regardless with zero resistance. Upon which these Mastodon users will shit brix. And they'll call for either blocking that obviously rogue Mastodon user instance-wide, or blocking that user's instance, or Fediblocking that user's instance.
At this point, someone else who is not on Mastodon either will chime in and tell them: That particular user is, in fact, not on Mastodon. The Fediverse is not only Mastodon. That user is on Friendica. No, Friendica is not a rogue Mastodon instance. Friendica is not Mastodon at all. No, Friendica isn't a Mastodon fork either. Friendica has nothing to do with Mastodon. In fact, Friendica is older than Mastodon. On Friendica, quote-posts are perfectly normal. Friendica has had quote-posts for longer than Mastodon has even existed. And so forth.
Cue the Mastodon user shitting brix again, foaming with anger and calling for a Fediblock of all of Friendica.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that if Mastodon's quote-post feature and the rest of the Fediverse disregarding it leads to more awareness of the non-Mastodon Fediverse and its non-Mastodon features on Mastodon, it will also lead to demands for being able to completely block everything that isn't Mastodon, either on an account level (and then on by default, of course) or on an instance level or both.
Oh, by the way: The ability to completely lock out entire Fediverse projects already exists in the Fediverse right now, too. It's exclusive to two other Fediverse server apps that aren't Mastodon, both of which introduced this feature in September.
¹Here's a probably incomplete list of still-active Fediverse server apps with quote-posts which, yes, can quote-post Mastodon toots right now and will be able to quote-post Mastodon toots regardless of opt-in or opt-out:- Pleroma
- Akkoma
- Misskey
- Firefish
- Sharkey
- Iceshrimp
- Iceshrimp.NET
- CherryPick
- Neko
- Catodon
- Meisskey
- Tanukey
- Metaskey
- Mitra
- Friendica
- Hubzilla

(Inb4 both Oliphant and The Bad Space trying hard to catch all instances of the server apps mentioned above to blocklist them all.)

If it would be, as @thenexusofprivacy writes on https://privacy.thenexus.today/fediseer-fires-and-the-bad-space/, all of the almost 4000 instances on Ro's list are attacking marginalized people. Which is a lie! Because he just copy & pastes blocklists from toxic instances, like
mastodon.artwhich is well known for spreading untruth via their blocklist and using #Oliphant, #TBS, ... to spread it far more, than it should be.E.g., the domain
drow.beis listed with the tagstalking, which is a criminally relevant accusation that has not been proven by any of the blocklist operators. It is not possible because it is not true, but simply the personal hatred of Welshpixie, operator ofmastodon.art, against the owner of the domain!Also, Ro, the operator of #TBS, is defenitely a racist. Every time TBS is not criticized in his favor, the one criticizing TBS is directly called a racist and bigot, blocked, so that no discussion is possible anymore, and then slandered via TBS as well as Fediblock.

So far, the birthing pangs of whatever this is have been messy in terms of their effect on people. #oliphant #hachyderm #tusky and I am sure many others have found that #moderation and #governance are sticky, thorny functions where people are often made very unhappy, by decisions or by experiences or by the cost of these on relationships and communities.
I urge #mercy, #compassion and #grace 1st, maybe #forgiveness where possible. But #transparency, #rules & #roles, too

The level of disappointment I feel in @[email protected] right now is off the charts. And the blindness of so many to obvious attempts to destroy leftist unity. I've had to constantly fight against this in real world organizing, and I started quietly discussing some obvious bad actors in this space with some people here but here we are.
To be clear, over the course of a month an effective leftist instance was expanded, infiltrated, it's most powerful voice evicted and the instance admin outmaneuvered. The instance may not exist soon, and it provided tooling and lists used to keep much of leftist ActivityPub/Mastodon safe.
People need to take a big step back and look at the big picture of what is going on here. This was effective organizing until others organized to undermine and destroy it.

Here is a kind reminder that the #oliphant #blocklist is everything but the golden standard, looking at half of the lists sources having imho unstable/childish admins.

@nemobis thanks for that pointer to #oliphant! That led me to https://github.com/eigenmagic/fediblockhole which looks almost exactly like what I was imagining. But perhaps rather than pushing the changed blocks automatically, having some kind of email/matrix notification get generated to require admin/moderator review?

@edsu A few #Mastodon instances declare they're using the #oliphant blocklists.

Looks like #Tootle has been forked into #Oliphant. Writing from it now. About time I would say. Tootle always crashed on my laptop. Very weird that Oliphant's Github page doesn't mention Tootle at all. Also, no new updates to the original code. There's still no voting option. For reading and firing off quick toots, this is more than enough. I like Pinafore but I have always wanted a functional and minimal desktop app.
