The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

Just as an outside observer - a lot of people from reddit are out searching for a new home. Convos like these will set the tone for every new entrant so you have the opportunity now, before it all goes really big like reddit, to shape a community based on mutual aid, love, earnestness instead of one focusing on building capital at any cost.

There are so so many socially conservative sites and spaces fully dedicated to those communities, big enough that even normal media covers them. But how many Gabs or Parlers exist out there for marginalized people, how many communities are willing to do the hard work of ensuring there could be a beloved community where hatred and minimization is curtailed, who don't act according to the will of private investors demanding incessant growth?

I hope there can be spaces like that which can grow from a watershed moment like this. It would be really cool if it were this one 😌

Isn't it just better to do it on your own accord?

If you do not wish they mingle with you, block the community you do dislike. You can even block individual person.

If you do not want to participate in theirs, just don't visit them.

Defederating is extreme, it takes liberties and freedom from other users, and should only be used as last resort.

EDIT: @eta_aquarid, why you are discussing this instances meta, you are from kbin.social? And then why you blocking me? Is there some sort of brigade going on here?

EDIT2: So many other unrelated instances' user come in here. Wow. There are some coordinated attacks to make sh.itjust.works worse huh?

KBIN.SOCIAL PEOPLE: This https://kbin.social/m/main@sh.itjust.works/t/39264/Hey-could-we-defederate-with-exploding-heads-com#comments means it is HOSTED on sh.itjust.works instance! It is NOT kbin.social post! Even if you can see from your instance!

Wtf, what liberties and freedoms does it take from anyone? No one has the right to anyone’s attention nor any instance. They aren’t being blocked from using the software.

it would be better, to be able to block a whole domain/instance per user, like we can do it with communities

KBIN.SOCIAL users, this is the post URL: https://kbin.social/m/main@sh.itjust.works/t/39264/Hey-could-we-defederate-with-exploding-heads-com#comments

It means it is on sh.itjust.works instance! It is NOT kbin.social post, even if you can see it from your instance! Speak to your own kbin.social admin if you wish to defederate from exploding-heads!

No. Nazis need to be blocked by the instance admin. Otherwise, it's time to look for a new instance.

@Alue42@kbin.social I can't reply to kbin.social users so I will say it here.

For your information. If sh.itjust.works defederates from exploding-heads, only those users on those communities will be affected.

Kbin.social won't. The users there still can see both sides and interacting with both sides regardless sh.itjust.works and exploding-heads defederates or doesn't. A simple example, kbin.social people can still interact with beehaw.org, right? We here can't interact with them at all. Some already made another account on another instance.

So, people on Kbin.social should not having voice on dispute between these two communities because it has no impact on them.

Why NOT kbin.social that defederates from exploding-heads then? Why MUST sh.itjust.works? Yet I see four or more accounts from kbin.social try to do discuss this thing. Why you guys from kbin.social try to do this?

I’m as leftist as they come and I do not support this action. If you don’t want to see it, mute the instance rather than creating an echo chamber.
