    sigh

    “Blocking is a band-aid that doesn’t remove the problem community from interacting with your community at large, which is how you limit the ability of that community to spread their harmful behaviour.”

    Also, I don’t choose, the instance admins choose. Nothing I say will change that. If I successfully convince them, then they were convincable. If you don’t like that… change instances.

      “Problem community”, huh? Now that’s concern trolling! You’re just concerned about others being exposed to a nebulous “problem community”?

      Why do you think you get to decide for others what a “problem community” is? I’ve seen people like you rally together to scream at instance maintainers to block other instances because you don’t like their opinions. Stop being a fediverse karen and use the block function or, if you’re such a control freak, maintain your own instance.

        I’m sorry, do you think the concept of a “problem community” is somehow not a concept that makes sense? What is your argument here exactly?

        Are you trying to say that defederation should never be done? If not, then what are you saying?

            I just got this comment about how some of these folks were vote manipulating: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/5417577

            I have no idea exactly what that means but I am fascinated to learn more. It makes the concern trolling even more of a troll in that case. Like I seriously wonder what’s behind it if this is happening, because these “no defederate PLZZZZ!!1!” folks are so rabid and they keep recycling the same tired, vapid arguments that they don’teven bother to defend. Like are they just trying to sabotage the fediverse by spreading FUD about the main tool we have for preventing it from sliding into pure toxicity?
