Here is the thread of theirs

I have been looking through a long thread on another instance where a few users have been trying to convince that instance to defederate from Exploding Heads - because they do not want to see the content posted on Exploding Heads.

I have thought long and hard about how to please these people. They do have the option to individually block Exploding Heads communities or users, but they either do not know how to or simply do not want to.

In the end I realized if I ban those specific users requesting defederation from Exploding Heads - they will not see any content from Exploding Heads and therefore will not be offended by it. (Truth be told I am not sure if some of these users have really visited our site or interacted with our users).

So today I have banned those users with the explanation that they have said they do not want to see Exploding Heads content. If any of those users wish to be unbanned in the future, all they have to do is say so and I will happily unban them.

These users are not being banned in order to censor them, but to help them achieve what they have been requesting - to not see Exploding Heads content.

I hope you all find this a fair and reasonable action - if not let me know.

    @[email protected] is a bit of a troll, don’t expect a discussion. They’ve been following my posts and comments for a while now. Report and move on.

        True, these comments in this thread are different. I think Kecessa and myself have come to a mutual understanding.

        Think the same can be done with us? Referring to our other chain.

      I never forced you to reply to the messages I posted and you disagreed with 🤷

        Yet you continue to follow me and spam the same emoji on my comments. Your post history is public.

          Stop replying to me if you don’t like it… Or… Block me?

          That’s your solution with exploding heads users isn’t it? People should block the users that post comments they don’t like and the mods shouldn’t intervene… Yet you’re saying I should be reported to the mod? Isn’t that hypocritical on your part?

            Stop replying to you? But you replied to me first.

            And no, I’m not going to block you. That’s against the values of this community. See in the sidebar,

              Really? I made it pretty clear in the first discussion that I didn’t want to argue with you anymore, you saw my message in the second discussion and replied to me 🤷

                That’s an entirely different thread. You were also the first one to contact me in the original thread on a different community as well.
