What did poa.st do? All I know is that fashy HAL guy in the comments thinks the head mod is cringe and stupid and that seems like a good quality. Lots of very specific rules against cp tho which is a big red flag

If the FBI are on here, they'd better work harder

Those all look horrifying, and I am curious to see if they are what they seem to be but also not

I went on the tor network once.

I saw what was being offered (probably on an FBI Honeypot site), backed out slowly without touching anything, and never went back.

I really like privacy. Those people need it. There is a difference.

Surprised Gab isn't the record holder, it was the big deal example the fediverse advocates held up as how awesome the fediverse is at moderating itself, especially the "defed if federated with" rule instances started using to actually quarantine the users from Gab

Newbie question here... What's the difference between federated and de-federated?

[–] WhatThaFudge@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

So you need to look at the number of de federations. That is basically how many other instances have blocked them and do not receive content from them to their feed. You can still go to all these instances using their respective urls and see what they are like. The reasons for blocking them vary depending on the instance. Edit: They can still be federated with other instances that don't block them creating their own little fediverse bubbles.

Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.

Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.

It's usually done to combat content you don't want on your instance
