It’d be nice if the admins got everyone’s input on these sorts of things. Admins making decisions without thought to our opinions is what drove us here from reddit. I’m not going to lose sleep over hexbear defederation in particular, but it’s a disconcerting precedent.
I know I can just leave to another instance, but I’ve started !streetwear@lemmy.world here and don’t want to have to move that too 😓
(Apologies if this isn’t the place to share suggestions. Also I do appreciate the hard work the admins are doing. My sincere thanks!!)
Defederation should happen after an instance has created a problem, so the community can actually have an opinion to voice that isn’t based on speculation.
I know we aren’t talking law here, but still, there needs to be a crime before we can have a trial. There needs to be evidence of wrong doing and harm created.
This preemptive judging does not inspire confidence in Lemmy as a whole. There has to be a standard, and I don’t believe admins pre-judging instances before anything has even happened is healthy going forward. This is an extreme slippery slope and the more normalized it gets, the faster the ideal of fediverse dies.
