I was there, I saw the thread. @TheDude, did you? It was pretty strongly in favour. Do we really need to keep waiting around to see if an instance administrated by a guy who wants to declare “cis” a slur is going to turn out okay?

    It’s quite funny to envision legality being the only criterion to take into account for defederation: my home instance as well as any other indulging into media piracy, which is widely considered as theft or counterfeiting, would be blocked, but not hateful instances as long as they can “hate civilly”, shall we say.

      Lemmy world has a sub dedicated to conservative hate. If you are trying to defederate against hate, make a post about that otherwise just block the problematic subs and move on.

      Problem here is not you want to achieve, but wider consequences of it.

      We are all just discussing options and learning what is the best course of action. Mistakes will be made but I hope will be fixed too.

      Lemmy just had big growth and no one was ready for it, pushing for drastic measures is fair, but we will challenge that idea.

      Additionally try to also speak about other problems it will cause and how to prevent it.
