       @micrackbiron Trust me, will be a marathon not a sprint to isolate them and for them to wither inside Gab-island. But more of us than of them, and they were a failing closed source silo. Will be a failing forked-sourced instance.

       @restioson  most of the major instances have blocked, or silenced. Working to get the word out to smaller ones who likely are just unaware of Gab.

       @isolategab ah cool. Is there any way to know who hasn't blocked it? Also what is the distance from center based on?

       @isolategab @restioson just say'n there is other stuff out there needing blockage, and of course the huge free speech argument taken over by those who will rip it out of constitutions, the bible, etc, as soon as they get the upper hand (this US election?)

       @johnbessa @isolategab absolutely is, but gab is one of the biggest one and its full of nazis. This isn't a free speech issue though.

       @restioson @isolategab free speech has been worn as thin as it gets .. I am from the NE of the USA where the bill of rights was implemented by the 2nd revolution, Shays' - Ignored in the US, France likes my writing and my pict of the only monument to Shays -and basic freedoms, some rough stone and an nice wild but sweet apple tree http://johnbessa.info/rattlesnake/

       @johnbessa @isolategab the reason I say it's not a free speech issue is because this is actually a freedom of association issue. It is our freedom to choose whether to associate with Gab or not. This campaign is to alert people that they don't have to be bombarded with hate and can and should exercise their freedom of expression.What's more, I don't consider hate speech to be free speech. I'm in full agreement with the current precedent on it in South Africa (my country)

       @isolategab @restioson just to be specific - there is NO REASON to make another person suffer- every person has a presonal best that can and should be reached w the help of society as government- people who go BEYOND their potential can be quite painful:TRUMP is our current example

       @isolategab Isolate Gab is like isolate fediverse. Gab is a federation.

       @tofeo Every instance in the Fediverse can choose who to Federate or not. And the rest of us can choose to simply not let our instances we work hard on be used to amplify and be complicit in Gab's messaging.

       @dtluna @tofeo It at least offers the potential to. It exapands their potential reach. it's like rebroadcasting a radio signal.

       @dtluna @tofeo how is that analogy wrong? Happy to learn and be corrected. But how does that analogy inaccurate?

       @dtluna @tofeo   “Simply put, Gab installed a radio station (Activity Pub), by making a copy of the Mastodon software, and making it their own. This means that they can now call all the other villages if they so please. Or at least attempt to call the other villages. A major part of the Fediverse and Mastodon servers prepared by preemptively blocking gab.com, before they officially joined on the 4th of July. By blocking them, we’re effectively not listening to their radio station.Unfortunately because the radio waves are publicly available, they are still able to listen into us, and “interact” with our radio shows (Public Posts), on their side of the fediverse, even if we refuse to listen to them (by blocking them). This is a flaw in the current design in the Mastodon software, and to some degree the Activity Pub (the radio waves). There is a lot of people on here who are working on the software, or are at least interested in it are working on different ways to deal with this issue, and hopefully we’ll be coming up with even more creative solutions in the future.”https://medium.com/@maloki/on-mastodon-and-nazis-11dcaba3f481

       @dtluna @tofeo and in this analogy, federating instances are choosing to act as a “rebroadcaster” of a signal to users who “tune in” in the case of the Fediverse via a Activitypub client.  In both analogies the end user is “tuning in” and in both analogies the medium for enabling that is the rebroadcasting station or in this case the federating instance. I don’t yet see the analogy being in error.

       @dtluna @tofeo How again does that analogy fall down?Because Federating enables Gab content to be available only when *pulled* by a client, not pushed to them?Is that why that analogy doesn’t work for you?

       @dtluna  I’m making an *analogy.*And am not clear where you see the analogy not matching.

       @dtluna @isolategab Theoreticaly all instance should be able to communicate with othersBut but in reality sometimes admin block instance and I don't know this information.And ActivityPub is not well implemented. For exemple I am not able to follow a pixelfed account from my hubzilla accountThe fediverse is partly implemented

       @tofeo @dtluna Able to, sure, but not required to. Federation is not a right, it is a privilege. And  instance owners and their community there have the freedom of association.

       @isolategab I just checked the same visualizer.  Gab is down to one peer.  Who, ironically, calls Gab "Open lunacy" on their description.
