   There are some who would not consider this offensive.

   Personally I don't consider insults to be harmful, especially if I invited the person. I may decide not to invite them in the future

   In the current discussion, no one is forcing anyone to subscribe to offensive users, so no one can get hurt except by their own choice.

   That itself is an absolute statement. :) But yes, freedom ends when someone else gets hurt.

   Right. So an instance can initiate a push. But that instance still bears the burden of serving its subscribers.

   If someone wants to hear offensive content, it will be heard. Which means it is not offensive to some. Again, we do our own moderation here

   Sure. You can do anything you want if you're an admin. I wouldn't call it easy. It feels counter to the basic principles of federation.

    As a child in the US I learned that freedom of speech meant freedom for everybody, even people I don't like. Who decides what is offensive?

    I don't believe enforcing different social norms is possible. Unless you tell users who they can subscribe to.

    And I'm saying that is wrong. Resources are consumed by the subscribers, not the subscribee. StatusNet/GNUSocial is push, not pull.

    Apparently I forgot how to Identicurse. It is a sad feeling.

    But hey, some of us think #freedom is a feature, not a bug. We created this network because we want freedom from control.

    I think what people are missing when they try to censor is that the #fediverse is one big machine. You can't easily exclude people.

    So we should exclude all new users, not just Nazis? I'm confused.
