I don’t like defederation, it’s pathetic that they can’t handle some instances not having the exact same culture as their safe spaces. But it seems to be catching on because users can’t block individual instances on their own.
Users can block communities (on any instance) they don’t like.
I don’t understand why they don’t do that I do it all the time. What’s the issue here
Because their real motivation is to stop other people seeing Exploding Heads content.
Agreed
I understand the technical need for that feature. But I agree. It can, will, and is being abused.
You can do it on the nemmy app
So I just went through all the communities on their site so I could see which of our communities are federating across and causing them grief. About 35 of our communities federate across and these only federate across because their users have specifically requested them to. of those 35, 2 or 3 contain controversial content that their users could individually decide to block if it offended them.
Interestingly the also have known child porn communities federating across to their site (not from Exploding Heads) which they seem quite ok about.
So I think the fact they federate with those child porn communities expose the real motivation behind this defederation effort - to censor political views they do not agree with.
Yea sounds about right
Here’s my vote.
🤣
