Who defederated now?
Nobody de-federated. People saw that there was a the_Donald community on sh.itjust.works + a lot of people from said server defending it ("just ignore it bro"). That triggered probably bad memories ala spez defending t_D because of "VaLuABlE DiSCuSsIoN", while they brigaded and harrased countless people during their time on Reddit. Some people got a little bit carried away and demanded de-federation and a couple of trolls throw gazoline in the fire.
A community does not have a right to exist on a certain person's server. They should delete The_Donald and move on.
The community got deleted by the admin.
Based.
It got deleted quite quickly. By the time I saw the local community post about it it was already gone.
Nobody de-federated
Beehaw defederated sh.itjust.works and I think Lemmy.world
Nobody de-federated
Please, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Yeah but it was before the story with T_D happened and for different reasons
This is one of the personal fears I have about society's where 'the mob' decides. Most people haven't had their fate decided by a mob before and so might not know what this means or how it pans out most of the time.
I believe it is imperative that we have something in place to avoid mob actions - not a central authority per say but possibly a collective code we all believe in and abide by. We could perhaps establish what is (un)acceptable on a fediversal (universal) scale and what is (un)acceptable on a local instances (instances decide this themselves obv.)
In the future we might need Lemmy/ActivityPub to be able to define posts/accounts/communities that are accessible across the Fediverse and those that are only accessible to users of that instance.
Hence we wouldn't have the problem where for instance: members of one instance think pictures of furries is not NSFW content but members from other instances think it is
I’ll never understand this moral handwringing about mob rule.
No one is burning witches. There’s no value to having a bunch of neo-nazi perspectives. They’re not useful, productive or worth platforming.
This. No fucking nazis that should be banned automatically whenever they try to start any community.
Fuckers can stay on true social or whatever the hell trump calls his platform and stay away from Lemmy.
You realize a major purpose of federation is so that content can't be censored so easily by a central authority? This isn't Twitter. If you need a safe space, the fediverse isn't for you.
This is exactly the space for creating all sorts of spaces. No one needs to federate with you here. It's up to instance owners and there's plenty of instances.
Nazi trash can stay entirely off any instance that I'm on and if they show up and nothing is done I'll go elsewhere. Period.
