How many domain names your government needs to block in order to censor an entire network?

@[email protected] @[email protected] See how good your life is when the main Bluesky relay blocks your PDS, or when your account gets deleted from their PLC.

@jeffcliff I don't think blocking 20000 domains at once is a realistic scenario, because normally censors are tasked with suppressing specific sources (while minimizing collateral damage).
However, you're right that deep dependency on DNS is not a good thing, even though DNS is necessary to maximize reach and provide good UX. I designed FEP-ef61 which addresses this issue by detaching identity from domain name.

@[email protected] @[email protected] It's still better than being locked on an AP instance with no possibility at all to migrate content. And for having an instance currently massively ban from the Fediverse, I can say it's definitively not better here than on BS.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Your instance is blocked by 13 others. I don't think that really qualifies as massively banned from the fediverse.

@[email protected] @[email protected] No. My instance is not blocked by 13 others.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] My instance is publicly blocked from 249 known instances, and certainly way more not publicly. It's around 10-15% of the network.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] And i'm the good example of the "censorship" trouble on the fediverse. You can look about those ban, mostly all if not all are highly problematic.

@aeris @privateger Well, I'm blocked by 283 instances. Couldn't care less
Moderation is not censorship. If people don't want to interact with you, there's no good reason for you to interact with them.

@jeffcliff @sun No, but Streams can do this, and Mitra has partial support.

@silverpill 'blocked by 283 ' π₯΄ do you know why?
-
@elvecio My instance is in some shared block list. I don't know for sure, probably cryptocurrency

@silverpill email?
-
@elessar I can't quickly find data on the number of servers, but I suspect email as a network is even more resilient than Fediverse. Large servers are its biggest weakness (IIRC Gmail is blocked in China)

@sun @jeffcliff Working on AP implementation? Have you published its source code?
-
@silverpill @jeffcliff I have a code base where I am experimenting with ideas and when i figure out things to m taking what I learned and start a βseriousβ codebase. So the current codebase is embarrassing. I can share it though Iβll send it later

@sun @jeffcliff Are you writing it in Rust?
