Seriously, these guys are straight up tankies with nothing worthwhile to contribute. Can we defederate them and isolate their BS?

    Once I have the ability, I fully intend to. It doesn’t change the point that they’re extremists and their bullshit shouldn’t be associated with decent instances. Sh.itjust.works should still defederate them.

      stop generalising please. There’s a lot of decent people on ml. Just because you’re butthurt about a single Russian shill doesn’t mean the entire instance is full of them.

      Defederation should be a big decision, and instances shouldn’t do so on a whim. If people want it, it can be done after some discussion

      It should be discouraged unless the other instance is actively breaking the rules. When instances are super fragmented, it’s a much worse experience for everyone and it gets confusing for new people. So it should be limited to when enough people agree it’s necessary
