This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other’s content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.
Oh thank goodness. I like this instance a lot but the hexbear spam was annoying.
too little too late, but they needed to be a little less locutus and a little more jean-luc.
they are like very online. or something. I can’t tell and I don’t wanna know. good riddance.
Thank you, the comments were getting pretty rough the last couple days.
Thank you for your service.
+1 for using Bookstack.
We use that at work for some internal documentation. Love it.
Bookstack is great!
Its an amazing tool. No one else at my work wants to adopt it so it is my personal documentation app.
What?
The link to their Terms of Service in the post is running on an open-source wiki software called “Bookstack”.
@SysAdmin@startrek.website Can I ask what they were propagandising about?
I’ve seen plenty of stuff over there saying if you’re against Russia and their social engineering being used against the US, it’s basically the same as being an antisemite.
The whole place is whackadoodle.
Theory divorced from historical context results in all kinds of cognitive dissonance, and that’s what I see there for the most part.
expect vague answers or examples of individual clueless tankies used to justify the bans of entire instances at best.
defederating & banning from tankies is popular on the lemmyverse and they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf; whether or not you asked them for it.
if you care about your agency on this social media platform; try switching or joining another instance that treats you like an adult that can make your own decisions.
pick one that doesn’t defederate and their attempts to decide on your behalf will become self defeating and you’ll still be able to participate here.
they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf
If I want to talk to people on a defederated instance, I can create an account on the defederated instance. Nobody has made any decision for me. You seem unhinged.
whether or not you asked them for it
Admins having the power to decide to defederate is implied simply by being a Lemmy server. It cannot be any other way. The only “asking” that occurs in this situation is a user asking permission to sign up, create an account and use the server where the admins necessarily have that power.
Yes. That’s close to what I recommended; try paying attention outside your bubble.
LOL
This is a bad take. Server admins have the final say on who they federate with. I prefer to be on an instance that bans tankies and other poorly moderated instances. Heck, I support defederating with lemmy.ml because it’s users seem to be confused about what freedom is.
no one’s arguing that they can’t make up their own rules.
also let people on other instances believe whatever they want; it has no bearing on you and you can block them and entire instances for yourself if you need to.
i don’t want power tripping mods/admins or suppressive policies to make that decision for me; that’s why so many people and I left reddit; i’m an adult who can make up my own mind and the lemmyverse already has the tools to empower me to do so.
this isn’t reddit or a walled garden; in the fediverse it’s the vegetables section of a community garden that was designed to maximize cross pollination and defederation episodes like this are like trying to install a permeable gate that don’t stop that cross pollination.
@lemmy.ml
Ah, now it makes sense.
The concept of defederation is literally the single most important core feature differentiating the Fediverse from centralized social media. I find it interesting that you feel employing it to be antithetical to the concept of federated networks.
Yes it was and its misapplication in targeting the same group repeatedly is laying bare its flaws and that’s why it doesn’t work
If it doesn’t work then why are you still posting?
they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf
Anyone who wants to spool up an alt on a defederated server is welcome to do so. We suck at totalitarianism.
You are correct that it is a requirement for all communities hosted on this instance to be actively moderated within instance principles.
I love when bigoted instances make themselves known so openly. Sucks you people never learned any values presented in Star Trek.
