It's an inaccurate and therefore useless abstraction. No one would know what I'm talking about. Also what I suggested was perfectly on topic and relevant. You and msavoritias are actually taking us off topic by talking about ponzis and feelings.

Also, I never mentioned "crypto" or "blockchain", I specifically spoke about Bitcoin and lightning as a payment mechanism for people sighing up for servers. Bitcoin is legal tender in some places and is not a ponzi. msavoritias is showing his ignorance of both Bitcoin and ponzis.✎

What does "proffesional" mean here?
Not blocking xmpp instances that make your own instance unsafe? No thank you then.

How do other instances make your own instance unsafe?
Chris Machas joined
Ellenor Bjornsd.
Martin, on activitypub the opportunities for harm are much wider because it's a public social network
Ellenor Bjornsd.
if you have authenticated fetch required, and you block instances that have harmed other instances in the past, you can raise the difficulty of their users coming to harm you
Licaon_Kter
msavoritias: I do agree that it's about the admins
Eg. Chatterboxtown, not sure they're here or if I can easily find their xmpp address to report in the future, did they react? If so then it's ok.
I did report to magicmightybroccoli too and they were responsive
Also in the past to jabber.de and others
Licaon_Kter
Think creep,im had several reports that went nowhere hence the jabberspam listing, etc
Licaon_Kter
And reaction is one, forcing them to use bitcoin or harvest emails is...way...way...another thing
Ellenor Bjornsd.
in that sense, the first instance whose users are victimized by another's users, with that other not reacting appopriately, is a canary in the mineshaft, fainting from the damps and getting revived by their keeper-miner and thus warning said miner to rally the men to come up to the surface

They would not be on the list if they had acted to emails or have been reachable via xmpp. :)
Blocking spammy servers where the admin is not reachable is a reasonable thing. Nowadays the admin is reachable here and they could have requested a removal from the list but afaik they never did.
msavoritias
Yeah if the admin is responsive of course there is no reason to block.

Im all for putting restrictions. But lets not pretend payment is voluntary.
Its either pay or leave. Thats not voluntary by any stretch of the word

I mean, being free to leave means you're not forced to accept

Yeah. But the payment itself is a requirment. Its not voluntary.
In the same way either you accept the rules of the chat or you leave.
msavoritias
Accepting the rules is required.

?? It is voluntary since no-one is forcing you to sign up with such a server. You can choose a different one or host your own

Voluntary or we'll s2s block you because there was a spammer on your server? Yeah...that's voluntary alright
Licaon_Kter
Notice that I was speaking about the admin, about the server itself being forced to implement this. Not the users

The users will just go elsewhere... not on xmpp... then you'll have a clean network, empty, but clean.

Facing a potential block because you host spammers is already the case. Some servers asking payment doesn't change that.

True

To the extent that payments incentivize server operators to continue hosting, they might event help prevent servers from being shut down and kicking off users. ✏
