As many other threads have popped up about this over the last few days, I thought I’d raise a thread on kbin about this too.
From what I’ve seen, they seem like mainly inflammatory trolls who steadfastly support either Russia or the CCP while adding little of value to actual discussions elsewhere on the site.
Was a vote to federate with them in the first place even had?
What’s everyone’s thoughts?
Nonscientific strawpoll:
So what’s the process to decide if an instance should be defederated or not?
Ultimately, it’s up to the administrators of the instance. In this case, @ernest (not sure how to tag, never tried before - Thank you for all you do, by the way!)
In >my< opinion, it’s best done in collaboration with the community by gathering feedback and having a conversation about it and trying to find an agreeable consensus, which is what I was hoping to accomplish with this thread.
This is one in a long line of similar posts on different instances, sort of impromptu votes, almost. Admins make the call but the fediverse being what it is, it’s supposed to be reasonably democratic. Or, y’know, we could all up and move to a more values-aligned instance.
