This is such a virtue signalling to me… “Oh no, instance XYZ has account PQR on it, for shame!” - well, you’re still using the app, the platform, you’re still seeing the content. Unless you block them, which you can also do on TT/BSky.
Defederation “blocks” that instance for all users. Not really the same thing as monolithic bsky or twitter. You are not even aware of the instances yours has defederated with.
Ye, ye, nothing says “freedom of speech” as much as collective punishment!
Especially now, with Fediverse being barely understood by its own users and those outside the bubble having no clue what any of that means. People signing up to random servers just to be able to get off of Reddit getting slapped with an instance ban will surely boost Fediverse numbers!
This comment is such virtue signalling to me “oh no, I don’t understand how federation works and so I’ll invent a strawman argument so I can pretend to be clever, for shame!” - well, you’re still not understanding the app, the platform, you’re still inventing the strawman. Unless you bother to research even slightly them, which you can also do on the internet.

Right, so you just don’t want Fediverse to ever replace things like Reddit or Twitter? Remain within a margin of error in their user count? Got it. My bad for assuming we, the early adopters, were trying to get this thing off the ground and become an actual threat to the capitalist pigs.

It’s just weird to me.

Big difference here, admins can ban them, for everyone
