if there isn’t an overlap in userbase then i don’t see a reason to defederate, and if we did defederate then i think there would be more of a risk of brigading or harassment than there already is now. might as well leave the beehive alone so nobody gets stung
thats not how the fediverse does things
how so? it seems like a handful of users are the issue on that instance, they’re clearly just looking for a place to spew hatred so when those users find out a instance largely made up of queer folk defederated with their instance don’t you think they’d be more likely to make an account on another instance and bring the hate here? i think unless the admin is supportive of that behavior it would make more sense to give them a chance to deal with that on their own before deciding to defederate
I can't think why that would be the case. Bigots gonna bigot. I think they're likely to harass queer people because we exist, and anything that makes that harder (e.g. defederating instances that protect them) is good actually.
"Don't feed the trolls" never really worked, it just meant they continued to exist without opposition.
I disagree. Harmful, bigoted content is already being posted there. Defederating now protects this community from being exposed to it.
If the admin is responsive and deals with the issue, we can always federate with them at that point.
thats fair i definitely get your last point, think the rest is probably down to our personal experiences with trolls/bigots. appreciate you taking the time to reply
valid
thank you for the first civil and kind disagreement i have had on social media since
