Pixelfed does not display text-only posts in timelines, regardless of who we block, P92 posts won't be seen in Pixelfed feeds.

Furthermore, instead of an outright ban, pixelfed.social/art will silence P92, allowing users to opt to follow P92 accounts, or use a domain block to make that choice themselves.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

@dansup Does this mean if you follow someone (on for example Mastodon) from your Pixelfed account, you will only see their posts if they include a photo?

@dansup I think that's a good approach!

@dansup

The problem I see is that someone may want to point out an issue using text only.

@dansup Speaking of which, is there any way to see what instances are banned, silenced, etc (and why) on Pixelfed?

I'm not able to find or follow a few photographers on mstdn.jp, and I assume that users there who follow me on Mastodon won't see my boosts from Pixelfed.social.

@dansup
I don’t see how you can look at what #Meta are doing right now:
1. Billions of € in GDPR fines
2. Fuelling hate speech promotion of that content
3. Facilitating election fraud
4. Cambridge Analytica

To name just a few items, and think it’s a good idea to platform them. Or to collaborate with them, in any way.
They have proven themselves as bad faith actors time and again.

They’re not deserving of any more “chances”.
