Think about it; instead of those in charge or the instances deciding who they don’t want to be federated with and thus restricting content for the users, it would be better if users were able to block entire instances instead.
We’d be able to curate our own browsing experience so much better without admin/mod drama influencing the rest of us.
Edit: Alright so maybe not exactly replace defederation, but it should still be an option available to us, and in general should become the default action before defederation IMHO.
I don’t like your idea because it defeats the purpose of picking an instance (and you could just run your own if you want to be in control) but yeah that was uncalled for. If this is the attitude of the instance maybe they should just defed. (If restricting posting isn’t possible.)
their taking issue with your behaviour as an individual is not actually the same as taking issue with federation as a whole
coming to beehaws chat community to talk about the virtues of changing the federation policy, as someone that will barely be affected by beehaw changing their federation policy, gives off bad vibes
