fediverse meta - defederation policy

This. A million times this!

I absolutely respect any server community's right to silence or defederate another server, as *they* see fit. This is a decision for their community, and their community alone. Which is precisely why I have absolutely no respect for the practice of blocking for a decision not to block. Let alone the practice of guilt-tripping and dogpiling people for making a different decision about whether to block this servers or that.

Defederation can be a threat for decentralization, I'm glad there are other fediverse admins who understand this.

Information is power. Defederating restricts access to information as lobg as your server represents good people then defederating takes away the power from good people. The bad people can still see and comment on your posts, so you are ensuring the bad people have the power.

Yeah I too run a Friendica instance and I never de-federeated. This is getting old for me already, and I kept screaming about this for a while now. A bunch of admins on the fediverse act like Musk I swear. Quickly block other instances in the name of thousands or millions. Non transparent too.

I have no clue what's the issue here....I've been on the fediverse for 2 years now.....where are these trolls and idiots and nazi and child porn? I have seen none. Maybe because I carefully select who I want to follow and if anyone is a troll I block them immediately. Simple. Works great. Thus, users have a tremendous power at taking care of themselves and new tools/options can improve the situation, such as the ability to mute comments on your posts or only accept comments from your friends, or block lists that individuals can enable for themselves, and so on.

De-federation is a very primitive and destructive behavior.

we encourage our users to block, but leave it to them. We care about how they behave, what they boost, but not what they want to SEE.. I follow a few bad-actors, mostly so i can call them pieces of shit when they say things that make them pieces of shit... but that makes me a alt-right nazi i suppose, go figure.

I see that when I try to find people I know by another account

they are gone, they are not known by Fediverse

Fediverse is broken into echo chambers and bubbles

free speech is a very bad word for some people
