  • Censorship is a valid moderation tool when used appropriately, I don’t understand why people can’t understand this. So yes, congratulations, they are promoting censorship, which is a good thing in this case. thankfully someone isn’t in the “omg freeze peach” club that is neutral on literally every topic in the entire world no matter how incredibly a bad idea it is.

    A lot of people absolutely support censorship in the case of keeping literal garbage and spam out of their feeds, but a vocal minority scream about censorship as if it’s always a bad thing and should never be used.

    All federated servers also have a defederate function. It was added to ActivityPub for a reason, and that reason isn’t to be never used because of some sacred idea that servers have to be 100% open, innocent until proven guilty, when that is a moderation model that has failed time and time again.




  • Do they have have one of those agreements that retains their rights to sell the code that they didn’t write themselves?

    I’m no lawyer, but doesn’t this open them up to lawsuits from all of the contributors if they didn’t get consent from all of them to sell their contributions of the code first?

    Edit: Response from someone on the Github thread for the same question

    He is allowed to sell the management and his code. which benefit of doubt lets assume he has done, Zipo has two options, either keep everything open source and just develop in house with code releases, Or remove all code that 3rd parties have contributed.

    IF all of the code was sold as if he had the right to it, then yes, that opens up copyright violations and whatnot. IF zipo modified and distributes the code as is, that opens them up to the same can of worms. Any contributor who has code in the distributed apps can file a DMCA if the code is not opensource
