I’d like to ask for @TheDude to make a server-wide announcement, visible to all members of this instance, that a binding vote about defederation is currently taking place.

Without knowing what the Lemmy UI allows, I was hoping for a text similar to the one informing new users that email verification is currently enabled. Here is what I would like the announcement to entail:

“A binding vote to defederate from another instance is currently taking place in /c/TheAgora. Should the vote be accepted, no users of sh.itjust.works will be able to access the defederated instance or interact with users of that defederated instance anywhere on Lemmy. Should the vote fail, the instance to be defederated remains federated, its content may still be shown on the home feed of sh.itjust.works and the users of that instance may still participate in discussion on this instance.”

I am of the very strong opinion, that no vote should be binding, unless it was announced early enough to all members of this instance! This vote will have instance-wide consequences, the fact that it is taking place needs to be broadcasted beyond this community!

Edit: fix typos (again)

This seems like a lot of drama over having to just log into your account on that instance instead of seeing it in your All feed.

It seems like a lot of drama over telling Nazis to get fucked.

It mirrors my opinion on the matter of “democratic rulemaking” through forums like /c/TheAgora

Please god no, this agora shit has enough HOA vibes as it is without a bunch of busybodies making their crusade everybodies problem. I’m in favor of defederating and I’m still sick of seeing it on my feed.

“from another instance”. Name the instance. It’s exploding-heads. It’s not “another instance” it’s a vile instance full of trash and hate.

They’re probably speaking broadly since this won’t be the last time we vote.

I am of the very strong opinion that both sides in this drama are comical.
