let’s not allow a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
That's the saying though. A few bad apples spoil the bunch. That's why you remove the bad apples. That's literally what that saying is about.

My vote remains to defederate. Their administration are among the worst of the bad actors; to me, that is the primary issue as the admins will determine the shape of the instance. I have already pretty much abandoned this instance though, so take of that what you will. There is, in my opinion, an excessive amount of hand wringing and foot dragging over what should be a pretty easy question. As a consequence we've been flooded with very obvious apologist accounts and their bad faith arguments to protect their friends. I'd like to keep this account active but I'm deeply unimpressed with how this has all been handled and I no longer have much faith that sh.itjust.works is able to prevent itself from becoming a nazi bar.
In general I think instances this large are a mistake.
Good. I'm glad you see more people wanting to shut down fascists than you see fascists.
I'll give you a counterpoint, much as I also don't care.
Usually a story like this would be incredibly sad. Similar stories about refugee ships sinking are awful and heartbreaking.
Most of this story is about rich people who signed up to do a phenomenally stupid thing with an incredibly, comically terrible person in charge. It's actually more funny than tragic, and so people are able to read the story without feeling terrible after.
Caveat: I feel awful for this kid. Only sympathetic character I've seen so far.
The only person in the sub I feel much of anything for. Poor kid.
These are millenial shooters dangit, boomers were too old for doom. Gen X at most.
More seriously though I just replayed the OG doom and it still slaps, nice to see some folks are trying to recapture that. I should check these out.
Well, this c is specifically for discussion of this instance, and you're having problems on a different instance. If you're getting nowhere talking to the mods of that specific community you could try looking for a meta community on that instance to talk about it. Lemmy.world has nothing to do with moderation in a different community on a different instance.
Now imagine one of the front line reasons for continuing to press the attack instead of cutting losses is that the leader of the US feels his masculinity is being challenged.
I'm not really keen on their reasons for defederating, but this makes no sense to me. What do I care if a beehaw user is posting good content on my community but I can't go to their instance? It's still more content and engagement for my community.
There are still a lot more people on twitter.
I agree on both counts. I thought the CBC article was one of the best, it covers both sides and leans more towards how this might matter for people who don't even use Reddit.
Particular bonus points for the commentary by Cory Doctorow.
You can always just make an account over there to do that, without expanding their platform.
Hate groups rely very heavily on people sharing their shitposts around and amplifying their messages under the "look how dumb these dummies are" flag. That's what got Trump elected and why I have been forced despite every protest to know who fuckin Gr**n and B****rt are in the alt right. They thrive on the shadenfreude shares.
