I think I'm starting to get it
you can join a site that doesn't allow fascists locally
and blocks sites that do allow fascists on their instances if they show up in your federation feed (which is never "the world," it's based on who site users follow)
and what you end up with is
twitter without fascists :D
i mean yeah somebody might start a new site so you need the administrators to do what's needed, but it's way more doable.
you can even run that site yourself.
(She said, blocking a third fascist site)
(See the thing is fascists group up on instances in this kind of environment because they have to so mostly if you see a fascist and it's not a brand new account, it's probably a fascist site so you block a LOT at ONCE and it's very satisfying)
(3 for 3 so far :D )
ETA: OH MY GODS I JUST GOT THE OTHER PART
You know the nazi bar phenomenon, right? Where if you run a bar you let in zero (0) nazis even if they're quiet and polite because they will bring more nazis next time and eventually force everyone else out and it becomes a nazi bar. It's how they take over and ruin spaces and is why you tolerate exactly zero (0) nazis.
That's what happens at mastodon... except you can then lock them up in their own bar and out of everywhere else.
Mastodon's architecture lets you use the nazi bar phenomenon _against nazis_. :D

elon musk banned parody today
No, I'm not making that up, he literally just banned parody accounts unless they're clearly and specifically stated as parody.
He just banned it after a bunch of bluecheck accounts changed their names to Elon Musk and started shitposting.
It's AMAZING.
People are trying to find out if anyone's being banned for imitating anyone other than Elon. So far two: one being the fascist propagandist Andy N*o, who appealed to Elon directly, and someone imitating Keanu Reeves who tweeted that Elon was a bully.
Nobody else.
Basically they're only doing it if you bully Elon.
It's amazing.

What is Hanzo doing up on the roof now, anyway?
