  Seems kinda hypcritical.

    Do you even know why the vote to defederate from Feddit came up? It’s because there are quite a few Palestinian genocide apologist accounts from there. It’s like the Nazi bar problem, you tolerate a few hanging out there and suddenly everyone else leaves while it gets full of them. I’d rather not hear that shit myself.

      That would require understanding or research when they just want to use a gotcha

    Imagine being so Reddit-/.world-brained that you think of instance democracy as “hivemind gotta hivemind”

      So long as communities based on a common theme exist online, there WILL be a hivemind. Much like how we are not immune to propaganda, online communities are not immune to bandwagoning.

        This is far from e.g. Mastodon-like mob behaviour. But I get what you mean

  By consent of others, whoever registered there will be forced to that outcome even if they disagree. I fail to see how that’s a good thing

    You can always go to another instance that wishes to associate with them. The idea of the fediverse is you get to pick the experience you want.

      People on the Fediverse need to learn sooner or later that instances don’t exist for them to access the rest of the fediverse. They exist to be and host their own communities. From the first perspective defederation might seem antithetical to the purpose of an instance, but from the second perspective it isn’t.

      It makes much more sense.

      It’s you get to see content from different instances if many instances defederate each other then what the reason of fediverse?

        I think defederation speaks volumes of the quality of the content in the instances that are blocked, wouldn’t you agree? I wouldn’t want to listen to genocide apologists or astroturfed propaganda. Yes that means the echo chamber gets a little more closed off but it’s a prevention of exposure to some bad actors. I certainly wouldn’t want to put up with people who do Charlie Kirk or Tucker Carlson moves by “just asking questions” all the time.
