Feddit.uk gets defederated for not responding to a single user's transphobia fast enough, while Lemmy.ml gets transphobic admins and no defederation.
Almost like it's petty Church Study Group power politics instead of principles driving this.

Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

MODERATORS
For real
Agree, and I think the answer is less defederation not more.

Ada makes the wrong decisions literally every time she has a moderation choice.
A coin would have a better track record.
She frequently gives in to trolls over users and bans anyone who dares criticize her
I can't beleive I used to want to participate in that space.
I was banned from all of Bahaj for using “dude” then questioning if dude was the word someone was taking offense of and as the word I misgendered them with.
Meta-pronouns was already a bridge too far.
I was banned for questioning Ada if defederating from an instance because she does not like a mod from there is a wise choice (I think not, because isolationism never ends well for isolating community).
Then I got banned from the other blahaj for being banned by Ada ("transphobic").
Oh well.

ITT: a lot of non blahaj zone users hating blahaj zone
What if the causation is the other way around from how you think it is?
Not Ada making another move that definitely doesn’t support transphobes.
I don't follow the controversy over lemmy.ml but it seems to me that federation isn't about pushing one POV or suppressing another, it's about not using corporate media, right?
Federation is about what content you want to host on your server.
If you made a Lemmy server, say sidekick.lemmy, you'd have to make decisions about which sources of content to federate with. For example, if the Lemmy instance I just made up for this hypothetical called loli.network were posting child porn, then you'd have to make a decision whether to have child porn on your instance, manually remove all of it, or just defederate loli.network. Now imagine there's an instance called aryan.nation. Do you want swastikas and heil hitlers to be visible on your frontpage?
Ada promised her users that transphobia wouldn't be visible from lemmy.blahaj.zone. That's the issue.
No, federation is about content sharing. Choosing which content you want to share is a feature of lemmy software specifically.
Yes. Supporting genocidal regimes and fascists that have been plaguing society for the better part of the century are ok UNTIL they become transphobic.
Pathetic self interested selfish instance. Now I don't think we should be defederating for any reason other than illegal content, so I agree with this move, however I disagree with the reasoning.
Blahaj.zone and its mods have been the king of bad ideas and accelerating echo chambers, so I'm not surprised. In fact this is probably one good thing they've done until they say doors are transphobic or something and ban people who don't remove doors off their houses.
I'm surprised to see this many people think the same as me. They are way too strict and full of censorship. Saying anything will get you flagged as transphobic, even if you’re just politely debating about a subject you want to get informed about.
"You should have known" - "you’re just transphobic"
blahaj.zone is an insult to the LGBT
