Curious questions in this context: What would happen if #ICE tried to create an account i.e. on mastodon.social?
1. Would the community rules prevent this?
2. Would the account be active until a number of users would report content that actually offends their community rules?
3. If they can also verify prove access to ICE's official website - wouldn't it be "verified" automatically?
4. How many servers would actually degenerate from Mastodon's biggest server because of one account? 🙄
@Grutjes
And if ICE registered a Mastodon account with a smaller server whose community rules would not prohibit ICE's content - how long would it take for servers that represent more than half of the Fediverse's users to actually defederate that server?
Just take sure I'm not mistaken on this issue: I despise ICE's actions and the political agenda it stands for.
I'm just not sure whether the Fediverse could guarantee a "better" reaction to an attempt to register an account here 
@tetrapyloctomist @Grutjes They don't need to. They already got Truth Social, which runs on a customized Mastodon https://greenware-tech.com/truth-social-programming-languages-that-built-it/
And which is defederated by every fediverse server with functioning brains.
@Grutjes @tetrapyloctomist I know, but it wouldn't exist without Mastodon.
The point is that we can find reasons to criticize any project.
@dario @Grutjes @tetrapyloctomist The difference between bluesky and mastodon is that mastodon consists of many servers while bluesky consists of one... So one mastodon server does not mean the whole mastodon, but the whole bluesky server means bluesky

Very depressing to see the reaction from Bluesky users on their Reddit, they're basically saying it's fine to host ICE as someone who doesn't want to see it can block it from their own feed.
There's no thought being given at all to the violent dangerous hatred the ICE account will spread to those who don't block it, and the consequent radicalisation.
You can't block someone attacking you on the street, and that's what ICE is trying to make happen.
