MODERATORS
Which is an outcome I actually worry about, if they implemented this feature in Funkwhale. A fascist fork of the app existing and having a userbase gives it legitimacy. It immediately sells itself to those people: "Come to our free speech music platform" will bring in a lot of new users, very easily.
I mean, that's the freedom you've been so concerned about only two posts ago. it's a similar situation with Gab and Truth.social. they both use Mastodon's code, but everyone else distances themselves from them.
