Comment on Blocked instances question
fr0g@infosec.pub 1 year agoThe line in this instance is to not use defederation as a political tool, and that is IMO correct
That doesn’t really mean anything imo. Not defederating is just as much a political decision as defederating is. There’s no way around taking some sort of stance, intentional or not.

Of course it means something.
Yes, it is a political decision in the sense that politics pervades all human activities and decisions.
But it is obviously a different choice to that of many instances, where they actively use defederation as a tool to shield their users from any political opinions outside the mainstream.
The admins here have chosen not to use defederation as a tool in this way and I applaud them for it.
