Can we consider degenerating from maga.place and hilariouschaos.com?

Submitted ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Gullible@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨main@sh.itjust.works⁩

Both instances are pointedly political and looking to spread their particular philosophies to the threadiverse. Moreover, their users aren’t exactly winning any awards for charm. Can we put it to a vote before they become a nuisance?

What are we, a bunch of degenerates?

[puts on my Admin hat…]

sh.itjust.works has had hilariouschaos.com on our instance block list for quite a while. If you see content federating from there, send me a link and I will check it out.

As for maga.place, as @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works said, that’s a good topic for a discussion post in !agora@sh.itjust.works.

[takes off my Admin hat…]

maga.place clearly looks like someone’s personal troll instance. However, I notice their local feed is currently dominated by someone making anarchist posts in !Antifa@maga.place. A piece of me is curious to watch how this is going to play out.

  This is bizarre, I made certain that hilariouschaos wasn’t on our blocked instance list both by reading through the list and by ctrl+f before I posted. I have absolutely no clue how I could have made that mistake.

  I saw a post on another instance about defederating from them, and my first thought was that they seemed too small to bother

    Yeah it seems lemmy.ca is flipping their collective toques over one dingleberry.

  We don’t and haven’t for a while, kersploosh chimed in and clarified in another comment.

Call for a vote in the Agora.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
That’s more of a thing for the Agora, no?

Personally, I think we should only defederate if they’re causing problems. If that’s the case, report the posts and comments that cause problems and the admins are likely to block them or their instance.

If you feel so strongly, gather some evidence and make a post on the Agora.

id say defederate it seems that one person on maga.place is not a fan of open discusion and just wants to push what they think with no other side.

Normally I’d be in favor of allowing dialogue to avoid echo chambers, but judging by the posts and comments of the one user in maga.place they’re clearly not intending to engage in constructive conversation and I’d say defederate (or degenerate) now.

hilariouschaos seems more reasonable based on recent posts.

I can’t actually edit my post, so my typo remains. Thanks, autocorrect, you fuck.

  If you can’t edit your post, that’s on your app, it works fine through the website and other apps.

    It requests that I change my language on the web interface, and doing so would effectively dismiss 99% of lemmy. I’m fine with looking a little foolish to include others

  You’re on threads though. Why would it matter to you? FYI, threads is a horrible place to hang, not only because you could’ve edited your typo here on sh.itjust.works.

  Just wanted to point out that this is the first post from a threads account I’ve seen.

    Where have you seen a post by a threads user? I’m pretty sure your instance degenerated from them before they even implemented activitypub

  On the plus side, your mistyped question is still accurate: it is conceivable that you’ll be turning into a degenerate if your instance is maga.place.
