    The fact it’s interconnected makes it easy to just worm your way though banning everything.

    Doesn’t matter if it’s all independently hosted. The greatest strength of the frediverse is the fact it’s federated.

    That also it’s biggest fuck up point. These arent wholely independent forums.

    And if the frediverse has to fully defederate everything to prevent itself from being scrubbed away. It defeats the entire fucking point.

    Cause at that point just fucking go back to forums.

      I think they best solution here is just easy to deploy proxies, it prevents banning by DNS or IP. More than that and they might as well just put the great firewall.
