Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected "racism" when defederating so it's probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it's a lot of "other" or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.
A small instance where members vote on decisions regarding the instance. Haven't really had to vote on anything though cause it's so small and not a lot to vote on. But it's nice it's there for if we do need it.
What's up with all the pedo instances? Why are they creating instances in an open web? Are they dumb or something? It sounds to me that just registering the domain names of some of those could be considered a crime, nevermind openly inviting and hosting CSAM.
I am not a lawyer, but I imagine there's no way I could register, or get away with if I do register something like "molester daycare" or "pedo toothbrush for kids"... Oh wait, apparently the last one is actually a thing. Well then I guess it's not, but man that's an unfortunate brand name
Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment.
So, it’s an assholefarm.
Although the name originated with one particular site, it looks like the name now applies to any site that serves a similar purpose. Bleah.
Wouldn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of the fediverse because you would need some kind of centralized system to keep track of all instance’s reputations?
