    Seems to me like they’re not really fit for the fediverse if they are just gonna defederate everyone, but whatever, they have every right to do it

      They aren’t defederating everyone. They are selectively defederating the instances they don’t like. Or selectively federating the instances they do like. Which is exactly how the fediverse is meant to work.

      If you like the instances they don’t like, or vice versa, then you should make your account on an instance other than theirs. Which is also how the fediverse is meant to work.

          I don’t mind that they defederated a random Mastodon instance called “rapefeminists”. Almost all of these are from some list of bad Mastodon servers. Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works are the only controversial ones (and temporary)

      The ability to defederate anyone is literally what defines federation. There is no “the fediverse” unilaterally, that’s the entire point.

      I hate to see that people are so disturbed at what others are doing on another community@instance that simply blocking it on their account isn’t enough. Nonsensical. And the logical conclusion is producing nothing more than a Reddit clone with many of the same weaknesses.

      Yeah they’re just doing it temporarily because their mod team can’t handle the influx of 60k bots and trolls over the course of a week with the current state of lemmy mod tools just because Reddit decided to off itself in a grand and public way.

      But just like Reddit drama, feel free to make a judgement without the facts and spread rumors based on hearsay. It’ll really help them want to open back up ASAP when we’re all over here like “hurrr fuk u quitters durrrr”
