Oh, this just gets better. The HOA are proposing their "mysteriously blocks trans women wholesale" list into default Mastodon installs.
This would have the effect of completely isolating trans-run and trans populated servers from the rest of the fediverse.
I thought trans people had finally found a social media where we couldn't be subjected to a rug-pull. Turns out we absolutely can, and if they get their way, we will. Remove our ability to federate with anyone who isn't us and you basically wall us off inside a closed "bubble fediverse" which we can't see out of, and nobody else can see into.
Lovely
I would like to point out one more thing, which is this FSEP proposal created 10th August 2023. In it, the authors propose integrating The Bad Space directly into the install flow of Fediverse platforms (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc) as a suggested starting point for block lists.I feel that this is a critical but overlooked part of the discussion: you will not be able to simply "ignore" the site's existence if its creators continue with their stated goals.

With the surging popularity of federating tools, how do we make it easier to make safety the default?nivenly.org

in reply to Matthew Vernon • •@Matthew Vernon They “fixed” it. Previously a single malicious report would get your trans instance banned,
Now it needs two.
I expect it won’t take long.
