          Yeah, “go away if you’re not happy” is really the lamest answer possible. And he is more like “captain reddit”, always freaking out about popularity and subscribers.

            Kbin.social is the official flagship instance representing kbin, and should strive to remain above squabbling over politics, only defederating from instances that are actively harmful.

            Lemmy.ml is so far not an actively harmful instance. Plus, most people on kbin would prefer not to be defederated against their will and be unable to subscribe to communities from there.

              Well, to quote you, if they are not happy they can always: “Find a new instance, this is not your fiefdom here to run.”

                Appeasing to “most people” would be more of a “democracy” (majority rule) than a “fiefdom”.
                It actually might be a good idea to organize some votes in the platform to decide on things like this.

      I don’t believe it is about getting their userbase for the benefit of this instance but rather that defederating from a large amount of users not participating in any malicious activity on the basis of someone affiliated with that instance posting malicious works on another instance is (at least in my opinion) antithetical to the idea of the fediverse.
      Doing so would step into the fallacy of collective punishment

      I know this might come as a massive shock to you but there are many types of people in the world with differing opinions that you don’t have to agree with.

      Do you support child labor if you use twitter? Do you support the CCP if you open a tiktok link? Do you support middle east genocide if you support an american company? Chill out.
