Not the first time that person was looking around for reasons to be outraged and ban communities. I hope they decide to go isolated and defederate from all instances.

Illegal content should be removed in any case, but there is nothing illegal here.

Illegal where? You can't run a federated system and keep it functioning AND legal everywhere all the time. There are 100s of jurisdictions, each of them constantly changing the rules.

The fediverse is set up somewhere in the grey zone. It has all the disadvantages of decentralized system (has to communicate with untrusted peers), while also having all the disadvantages of centralized system (having childish admins, who are also bound by their local jurisdictions).

The general direction is good, and the p2p ecosystem is better than a decade ago, but this is still not the final form, I'm afraid.

I'm just glad that there's a ton of money at stake in the big league, and large ISPs can't afford to act like this most of the time.
