@dansup will you be reviewing your consideration when you have data?

E.g. the amount of your users that manually unblock. Or amount of interactions with threads? Or when you have a statistical significant amount of "reports" or "flags" over various domains, incl Threads?

@dansup Glad you offer the ability to unblock it. I would certainly close my pixelfed account if it didn't.

@dansup Glad you are leaving us the option to unblock, thank you.

@dansup@mastodon.social That's quite disappointing.
Glad we can unblock though, but it should be the other way around.

@dansup User-level unblocks of admin-level blocks?

@dansup IMO that's actually a great way to protect the Fediverse while giving individuals the option. I didn't even realise it was possible to do it that way round

@dansup I like the opt-out system for something as important as domain blocking, good work

@dansup I've always been pro-choice for users to block or not, but like some others I think it would have been better to have had the default as-is (open) and then users choose to block.Blocking on behalf of everyone seems to veer more towards censorship (my opinion). But OK choice is at least there. I'm keen ton reconnect again with my wife who is not on any alternative social networks.

@dansup Default Blocking of big instances will slowly kill the fediverse. If big companies learn that they are not welcome they won't make efforts any more and let's be honest here: Most Users don't care and won't be in the fediverse in this case.

@dansup looks like the most sane, least fanatical approach I’ve read yet

@dansup If I understood a word if it I might be alarmed?

@dansup It should be the other way around, you don't need to decide for us what's blocked, so start with unblocked and then have it easy for us users to block what we want.

@dansup there are some amazing artists on threads. Personally I don’t think it’s a great idea, and it may limit potential growth.

@dansup
Interesting, I haven't heard anyone else suggest using authorized fetch for only selected domains.

By combining authorized fetch and domain blocks, do you mean that
a) an account which has any domains blocked will enforce authorized fetch to all domains?
b) a domain which has been blocked by default will have authorized fetch enforced for all accounts?

or both, or something else?

@dansup

even though I haven't use pixelfed, atleast they pick the right choice to block meta

@dansup why?

@dansup Good to give folks a choice.

@dansup thank you for doing this.

I think it's a very important part of the fediverse to have this attitude. To give an example of community based hosting with a focus on Freedom of association and Consent.

Yes Free speech is also important for our internet. But it can't come at the expense of harms to others.
