I saw https://sh.itjust.works/post/27423240 that states that somehow a mod here is blocking certain posts on that community for this instance somehow. Idk how federation modding works.

Seems bad to selectively cut posts. That seems a doorway to building a bubble for communities or even curtailing discussion about topics, even in other instances. Since we’re federated it should be all or nothing; either defederate if the entire site is unmodded/has goblin users/hosts views against our guidelines or block the just community if it’s against our guidelines if the rest of the place is aight.

That specific community seems to be about “NATO warmongering in a cheeky way” if I had to summarize it in a few words. I can see it is untenable for some but I can’t see why we need to be shielded from selections of that, individual users can just block it if the community’s (hopefully somewhat insincere) thirst for blood is too much.

In short, I oppose our admins moderating other instances’ communities. If they’re against our guidelines block the community or defederate; if they good under our guidelines then just leave it even if it’s “just a hair under crab”, to use a metaphor

Mod handled that super poorly and doubled down on being wrong… Honestly it’s a master class on what not to do.
