There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.
I mean, sounds like you just need to go to an instance that defederates from those places. Lemm.ee doesn’t defederate a lot but it sounds like you’d prefer an instance that does.
That does nothing to solve the problem. I want to see the Fediverse succeed.
In order for the Fediverse to succeed, we need well-moderated instances that aren’t afraid of defederating from the badly moderated instances. As you say, you’ve had death threats from Hexbear users for instance. If the Fediverse is to succeed, we can’t have all users go through that, so we need a strong core of instances that defederates from such instances.
That means that we need users to choose to go to the well-moderated instances and that hopefully will not be a difficult choice.
So what I’m saying is that you going to a better moderated instance is not incompatible with the success of the Fediverse - in fact it is basically required for its success.
Fair enough, I see your point. Thanks for explaining.
I think this is a very good and important point.
