My question is what the timeframe is for other instances to start defederation from sh.itjust.works as the identity of that server shifts. The thing I think people are still waking up to is that your instance is part of your identity in the fediverse, and that this is by design. When people see that you or I have @beehaw.org or @slrpnk.net (depending on the account I’m logged into), it tells them something about who we are and what we value. More and more, @sh.itjust.works represents “eNlIgHtEnEd CeNtRiSt”
I’ll be very curious to see how it goes. there’s already some public awareness that it’s taken them much longer to block alt right than any other major server (from the look of the response to my last post it’s going to be about a month longer), so I don’t think they’re going to slip under the radar as much as they think.
From the responses, I predict that the server is just going to start holding votes for ever increasingly right wing stuff to be allowed until it’s a true haven of “free speech” in the purest enlightened centrist way. But who knows, maybe not, they might just hold a vote any time any major action is needed against the fascists so that the server gets locked in paralysis. It sucks but it will be interesting to see how it goes.
