Wtf? Federation is a privilege, not a right. If you can't behave, spread CP or is a hub for nazi shit, you definitely don't deserve that privilege.
Sure, but doesn’t banning an instance because of a single “bad” community hurt the whole platform?
Bruh, that's literally how you keep yourself from ending up as a Nazi bar. You stomp that shit out and let them know they're unwanted, or they bring their friends and eventually run off the rest of your clientele.
Having those bad communities federated is worse for the platform than defederating from instances that propagate that shit. You're gonna run off more people if you risk getting CSAM or Nazi shit on their feed than you would be excluding instances that have it.
No. An instance that permits and hosts child porn is an inherent risk to federate with. What instance owner could want to federate with them and possibly receive / store CSAM/child porn?
Also: what instance owner wants to potentially expose their users to that type of content??? It’s globally illegal.
No. The instance should moderate its own users. When they allow users to continue abuse, the instance should be blocked. Instances that condone abusive communities hurt the whole platform.
