Last night I got into a conversation about .ART deciding to defederate from another server. The reasons for doing this were explained by the admin (racism) and I understand those reasons. I agree with the decision.

But then a user from another instance insisted that this is anti "free speech", blocking an entire instance because of a few "bad apples" and only the individuals should be blocked.

And they were insistent that "free speech" is paramount
