If l.w continues to defed other instances it will become a problem having a glut of people on on instance
I thought it only defedded from instances that were being very explicitly racist and/or very poorly moderated. Those seemed like great decisions. What instances do you think shouldn't have been defederated?
I prefer to just block communities I don't like rather than having an instance decide for me. There were votes here so it's not like it was a sweeping decision, but I just block stuff I don't like. I'm not going to ask an instance to block NSFW content, I will do that myself, same with content that is spammy or I find detestable.
The thing is a lot of instances have multiple shitty communities.
You can block one, but then the same edgelords make a new community on their instance for the same bigotry.
Which leads users playing whack a mole.
I took a look at your instance tho, and I 100% understand why you'd be upset at this instance for defederating.
Not to mention how easy it is to just sign up for an account on whatever de-federated instance if you really want to... Liftoff by default looks to me like it makes it very easy to use multiple I stance accounts all at the same time for posting, commenting, voting, etc
Because of the common API, if this becomes the mode, I expect clients would allow you to sign into multiple instances in the same way that you can have multiple email accounts in the same app. I'm very curious how this plays out.
