The 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.

Hey, I just did a quick browse through the blocked instances list for infosec.pub and have a few questions about it. Seems like we are blocking sh.itjust.works which at first glance just looks like one of the bigger general purpose instances. Meanwhile more overtly problematic instances like lemmygrad (tankie instance) or exploding heads ("free speech extremists") are federated with. Generally the block list seems fairly small compared to a lot of other instances.

So are these intentional choices or is it more a matter of the admins not (having the time to be) bothering with it? If it's not intentional, maybe checking some other instances blocklists to weed out the biggest trolls/offenders could be useful.

Very much so. Canonical stopped developing it a long time ago, but it's a community project now.

Wood dust and tannins are techno-fetishis shit? And what exactly makes you highly qualified to judge the viability of this again, Mr Big Science Man?

How about both?

I have a masto account on c.im and everything is fine here. Are you trying to access your own c.im account, just the website or view c.im account posts from an instance other than c.im?

will eventually select qualities to sustain survival. Commercial beekeeping does little for natural selection

I don't think we can consider this a guarantee for any species at this point. Climate change, habitat loss and pollution are way too fast-moving and hazardous factors, that natural selection is just guaranteed to be able to catch up in time.

From the twitch pages

The desktop web browser experience of twitch.tv and supporting sites, officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, the latest two versions of Mozilla Firefox, the most recent version of Microsoft Edge, and the most recent version of Apple Safari.

What's your browser version OP, so we can rule out whether it's just a version issue

Limiting the visibility of somebody voice is also censorship

It's not (always). Especially if the people "limiting your voice" are the ones giving you the platform to reach other people in the first place, usually out of their own pocket or thanks to donations. In the fediverse at least you can always set up your own instance.

People not wanting to engage with other people is not censorship. Nobody is entitled to someone else's attention.
