For other instance admins
It's okay to say "we don't allow police on our instance"
Scholar has had that in our About for at least a year:
We also had a "no institutions, only individuals" policy for even longer
This has done us well
I just want to remind you that you don't have to provide volunteer tech support and hosting for agents of the government, for-profit companies, or other institutions
You can just, not
And it's bad for your community if you do
@berge @ruby This really doesn't address the concerns, and it's not really raising any points I haven't heard a hundred times before, but honestly it's not a discussion I really feel like continuing right now.
It's an extremely exhausting one because I always end up having to deconstruct a ton of assumptions not just about how government oppression works, but also about how government infosec organizations work internally.
I've had to have it too often already, and I just don't really see any reason to have it again here.

@someonetellmetosleep Strong agree
re: infosec meta, question
@ruby Unfortunately that one has just turned out to be fed-friendly :(
Results of today's #StreetComplete trip:
- The optician was closed due to an eye surgery
- The social housing corporation's office is up for rent
- There are now two branches of the same flower shop within the same shopping area. In addition to the two supermarkets of the same chain we already had.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
re: subtoot
@scanlime Also I am disappointed but not surprised by the *many* folks on that instance inventing an imaginary reason for the fediblock and then criticizing that, instead of, y'know, listening to the actual reasons people have been giving.

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
