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!!)

    That works if the instance openly expresses a general policy on defederating , and then adheres to their own policy. Based on the whole pre-emptive threads defederation that many other instances took part in, but lemmy.world did not, it seemed like they were aiming to be a very open instance - their stated reason for not cutting ties with threads was to have a wait and see approach and actually give them a chance before assuming it will be a problem (and it’s not like meta has a stellar track record either). Now with hexbear they are taking an immediate defederation, no chances approach. It would be nice to get some clarity on the general criteria for pre-emptive and reactive defederation in order to make those home instance decisions.

      I will admit I was deeply disappointed that we were not promised that we would defederate from any and all Meta properties. I would still like to see that promised.

      I frankly just don’t care how much good it will or won’t do.

        Then why are you speaking up against letting the community have a say if you don’t care what the outcome is? You’re just as capable of changing instances as anyone else.
