Comment on We should defederate lemmy.ml

Eh, I disagree. I don’t want to defederate from any instance except blatantly illegal ones or immoral ones.

The admins of an instance being dickheads doesn’t make every user of that instance a dickhead. And if you go around defederating every instance you don’t agree with a minority on, we’re gonna end up with no friends at all. It will also drive people away from becoming Lamingtons if they see defederation drama going on - why join any instance if you may end up on a deserted island?

Side note: here’s a nice bit of light reading on tolerating intolerance. And not tolerating tolerance. And vice versa:
