@Gargron everything is working fine I just wish the leftists and right wings on this platform understands that it’s not about who is right or wrong but what can we as an individual can do for a better world ideologies causes major disagreement I wish we could put our differences aside and stop allowing a corporate monopoly control all of us by keeping us fighting one another while they control the flow and supply of money and lobbyists that take away our rights to speak and express

@Gargron Especially after the disaster today I'm reminded of that feeling all so well.

@Gargron The #fediverse went up in flames after #Gab put up their instance. I thought others were seeing it too... if not maybe it's just me that was unlucky to run into it.

@Gargron I think so. There are instances and people threatening other instances and people to block it. Dealt with some experiences after which I'm almost afraid to even discuss the subject. But it seems to have exploded sometime last night, so I take it that's when they brought it online.

@james No way. So the people I saw freaking out like the world is ending were doing it over a mere prediction and a server that isn't even there yet? I need to pour a bucket of cold water over my head...

@james I'm sorry if I may be overreacting a bit: I was banned from someone's instance yesterday after being seen taking about the #Gab platform, across other instances and with unrelated people. It came as a shock especially since I even knew the admin a bit.Figured I'd mention this as a word of warning for everyone: Some admins will ban everyone seen having calm discussion about Gab without attacking it... they take that as you siding with harmful people. It baffles me but that's a thing.

@MirceaKitsune yeah, I wouldn't ban people for having discussions around it. But saying that I have decided to block Gab from our instance as I feel like our users would be a targets for abuse.

@james I support the blocking of Gab for you totally. I'm pretty sure that if you were to wait until you started to have local users reporting, a lot of harm would be done.The thing is, the way that blocking works, it still won't prevent the harm, as a good portion of what could be harmful, can drop out of going through Gab. Still, what we *can* do for larger, especially vulnerable instances should be. Good luck...

@james I think that does provide an additional level of protection.

@james That's a level that would be nice to be able to set. Of course it's on nginx so if one doesn't have that access... It seems like it would be difficult. But probably not impossible. What would be nice is to somehow at the iptables level somehow set it to drop, and I saw someone who had something, I kind of think it was @slightlyflightyone but that might be entirely wrong.

@JigmeDatse @slightlyflightyone would be nicer if blocking was fixed at the application level, hopefully that will come soon. For now it was the easiest / most effective way of doing it I think. I could map out all their IPs and block them, but they could change all the time so would be a lot of work.
