hey folks, we’ll be quick and to the point with this one: ##### we have made the
decision to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. we recognize this
is hugely inconvenient for a wide variety of reasons, but we think this is a
decision we need to take immediately. the remainder of the post...
Kinda sucks, but after reading their and other people's posts and comments, I guess it's just their decision to help them in better moderating their community. Hopefully when things get calmer and everyone talks it out, we can refederate with them one day. I'm not a mod of anything so I can't really talk about that aspect, but it seems that mod tools are lacking in lemmy in general, but then lemmy is still pretty young and has lots of room for improvement.
Strange to me is when you look at the complete modlog, there's only a dozen or so bans (or any other actions) against lemmy.world users.
I might be missing something, but what seemed like a completely reasonable (to me, at least) reaction to their alleged influx of trolls from l.w, now seems like an overreaction.
I sympathize with the admins' desire to architect their instance the way they've chosen, and I suspect (hope?) they will open up again before everyone just trickles away from them.
