Seriously, these guys are straight up tankies with nothing worthwhile to contribute. Can we defederate them and isolate their BS?

Looks like the upgrade is planned for this week, so it might be easier to wait a few days

Once I have the ability, I fully intend to. It doesn’t change the point that they’re extremists and their bullshit shouldn’t be associated with decent instances. Sh.itjust.works should still defederate them.
Defederation should be a big decision, and instances shouldn’t do so on a whim. If people want it, it can be done after some discussion
It should be discouraged unless the other instance is actively breaking the rules. When instances are super fragmented, it’s a much worse experience for everyone and it gets confusing for new people. So it should be limited to when enough people agree it’s necessary
The fact that these instances are full of tankies and Russian apologists isn’t a whim, it’s valid reason for defederating. Their bullshit doesn’t belong here.
Then make the case in The Agora. I am opposed to defederation, but maybe I’m in the minority.
Thanks, I was unaware of that community’s existence, I thought this was the main one for instance related posts.
You can certainly discuss it here, but The Agora is where actual, meaningful discussion happens for instance policy.
stop generalising please. There’s a lot of decent people on ml. Just because you’re butthurt about a single Russian shill doesn’t mean the entire instance is full of them.
Those people are welcome to leave that instance and come to a decent one and I won’t have a problem with them. The instance itself is infested with them though.
Not really
Sounds like an awful lot of projection ngl
It’s not projection, it’s personal experience.
