Didn’t know some see it as a gimmick. It’s very good

.ml is large yes and has some general purpose communities.
Although, quite clearly and easily confirmable by anyone, it hosts the problematic issues and the related user base described in this thread.
The whole ethos as described in the blog history of lemmy suggests to let those kinds of instances be on their own. Not wreck the wreckers.
The users, communities and posts of those instances are enabled and pushed to innocent users as well and not just contained on their own “island”.
In their own blogs they actually offer the solution to be defederation of harmful instances but nothing is currently happening with the situation.
It impacts as long as those problematic instances are federated
The honest way to separate the dev problem from the software would just defederate those instances. A fork would just spread dev resources thin
Cleanest way to solve the issue according to the dev blog post principles is that those instances (not db0) defederate with others.
“Tankies” are not communists, they are fascists with red masks on
Oppressors through human history have liked and still like to lie what they represent to gather support from the gullible masses
Communism is great. Tankies are just fascists with some red masks on and not compatible with freeing the people
As they mentioned their decision is effective immediately and it looks like their users can’t interact with the defederated ones but the instances that federate with them can interact there. Isn’t this just a win-win for everybody?
Let’s hope someone remembers more!
I thought it was generally somewhat studied that we’re already at a point where correcting bad actors isn’t enough anymore, as they can spread much faster than humanity has resources to be on top of it with right information. Deplatorming seems to be the currently suggested praxis.
Beehaw defederates well and other bigger instances could learn a fraction of that
Beehaw, the one you’re on, has a big list of blocked instances but even a couple of the biggest could be deferedated on other instances as well to clean a lot of bad actors.
The email requirement was annoying but this instance is fast.
Some villainous instances should be defederated tho.
Allo was the best messenger. So many useful features
