Comment on We should defederate lemmy.ml
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 day agoSide note: here’s a nice bit of light reading on tolerating intolerance. And not tolerating tolerance.
Right, which is exactly why they should be defederated. They don’t even follow their own rules and go out of their way to be arseholes to everyone, as long as they perceive it to be something that pushes their agenda.

They being the authoritarians.

You’re suggesting defederating the 5th largest Lemmy instance (~52k users, ~2.2k active) over the actions of a single digit number of people. I think you also suggested defederating hexbear (the next biggest at ~27k users, ~1.8k active) in the past.
Lemmy aint big enough to be wiping out majority shares when you don’t like how a very small number of people act.

The admins of the instance. It’s ridiculous to pretend the behaviour of the admins of an instance shouldn’t be a serious consideration in the question of how to treat with that instance.
