I remember that people were kind of upset with Tusky because it blocks some instances by default.

Isnt that only gab, I wasnt aware they were censoring instances other than gab.

I'm far from an authority. But yea I think its just Gab and they dont generally block instances beyond that. The fear was Google would take apps off the store that didnt block Gab.

You think thats bad, they threatened to pull every single mastodon app off the play store (dozens) because the servers (not the apps themselves) didnt block Gab (or so it seems they weren't that explicit). Basically they expected every app to block every server when the server itself didnt block federating with Gab, which would have been an impossible task for app developers.

Anyway see this post I made about it a little while back, this post wound up hitting the #1 spot on hacker news and topped reddit.

The post itself was directly linked, which was kinda cool as I was the first person int he fediverse to have a post reach top ranking on hackernews :)
