I hate the fact that #megacorp services like #GMail and #Microsoft #Outlook.com are blocking whole #email servers because of some spam emails.
Instead of fighting #spam by sharpening their filters they fight the infrastructure by blocking more and more small email servers.
This is killing email #federation.
And now, #Mastodon instance admins are blocking mastodon.social that serves as an important entry point to the #fediverse, killing Mastodon instead of fighting the spam accounts.
😠

@publicvoit blocking mastodon.social is the exact opposite of the email problem.
@bonifartius And the reasoning behind this is exactly what?
@publicvoit mastodon.social is by far the largest server, it's the gmail of the fediverse.
@bonifartius And now think again whose instance might be losing when you stop federating.
@publicvoit nothing?
now is the crucial moment of preventing centralization. if there are other rules for servers just because they are big, the whole thing is damned to fail already.
eugen took gnu social and did EEE and now calls the whole network mastodon.
eugen made mastodon.social the "entrypoint" by choice, now his entrypoint is a spammers paradise.
joinmastodon removed e.g. qoto for whatever weird reason.
whole swaths of the fediverse are blocked by mastodon.social already because people there would hurt sensibilities.
