{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\colortbl;\red255\green0\blue0;}\cf1\b\caps\fs96\ulw when can we get rtf on the fediverse?}

well pango screwed up. no more bitmap fonts. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386 https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2019/05/25/pango-future-directions/

@Elizafox it's all because in late 2016 researchers at Area 51 finally completed and turned on the Shit Fucker 9000, a top secret government project to make a massive machine that fucks shit up. The real reason for the proposed Area 51 raid is actually to trick people into going to Area 51 to shut off the machine so we can finally go back to normal

For that matter, trying to evade instance blocks is literally trying to undermine the entire principle of federation. Anyone who willfully does it should be banned from the fediverse. Though that's impossible to actually achieve since identity can be forged and there's nothing stopping someone from creating an instance besides money and technical knowledge (which are still a big barrier for a lot of people, but that's another rant for another day)

"But what if people on other instances want to see our posts?"

They can sign up for another account on an instance that does federate with yours then. A lot of the client apps for the fediverse can deal with having multiple accounts. There's no rule on most instances that says you're only allowed to have one account.

And you're not asking what you really want, which is to force everyone to listen to your bullshit

Do they not realize that one instance being blocked by another doesn't mean that that instance is blocked from the entire fediverse?

Plus, if they hate this part of the fediverse, they can choose not to federate with it, just like my instance can choose not to federate with them. The ability to exercise freedom of association by choosing who we federate with is the core feature of federation.
