The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    @[email protected] I can’t reply to kbin.social users so I will say it here.

    For your information. If sh.itjust.works defederates from exploding-heads, only those users on those communities will be affected.

    Kbin.social won’t. The users there still can see both sides and interacting with both sides regardless sh.itjust.works and exploding-heads defederates or doesn’t. A simple example, kbin.social people can still interact with beehaw.org, right? We here can’t interact with them at all. Some already made another account on another instance.

    So, people on Kbin.social should not having voice on dispute between these two communities because it has no impact on them.

    Why NOT kbin.social that defederates from exploding-heads then? Why MUST sh.itjust.works? Yet I see four or more accounts from kbin.social try to do discuss this thing. Why you guys from kbin.social try to do this?

      I made my point in a previous comment about why I am providing input info this thread, and I’ll copy it here:

      Since you are from kbin.social, the outcome of this thing does not affect you at all. I wish you do not participate any further to stir the pot.

      I’m also from kbin.social, but the whole point of the federation, as you JUST pointed out, is to participate in conversations across instances and provide input in good faith to create multiple perspectives. Additionally, just because THIS post is about sh.itjust.works doesn’t mean it won’t have an outcome for kbin.social or other instances as well.

      Because we can see the discussion and it could lead to a decision on our instance as well. Just because the question was raised about your instance doesn’t mean others shouldn’t also start discussing it.

      Do you think when the titanic started sinking the people in the front told the people in the back to stop discussing it because it had nothing to do with them?
