- Comment on Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instance 1 week ago:
Blocking a somewhat fluctuating list of 25k+ instances is still considerably harder than blocking a pretty stable infrastructure of a single major social media platform.
- Comment on Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instance 1 week ago:
I still think that fedi will help, and in fact I am pretty sure it is helping already, simply because it is quite decentralized. Blocking 20k+ instances is not trivial. And each of these instances is an entrypoint, so to speak, into the broader fedi. Missing even one is thus a big deal. If my instance is blocked, I can set up an account on a different one, follow the same people, and I am back in business.
At the same time all these instances are run independently. One can’t simply threaten the whole fedi to force it to do a thing (say, take down an account), this just does not make sense.
Compare and contrast with centralized services like Facebook, gatekeepers like Cloudflare, and so on. Threatening one big entity with problems might be enough to “convince it” to take a thing down.
The reason governments and other powerful entities are able to control the information flow is because there are these hugely important single points of failure. Fedi is not perfect (
mastodon.socialis way too big for its own good…), but it is a step in the right direction. - Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instancemstdn.social ↗Submitted 1 week ago to technology@beehaw.org | 17 comments
