expect vague answers or examples of individual clueless tankies used to justify the bans of entire instances at best.

defederating from tankies is popular on the lemmyverse and they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf; whether or not you asked them for it.

if you care about your agency on this social media platform; try switching or joining another instance that treats you like an adult who can make your own decisions.

I approve when a server defederates from instances that have a large number of bad faith actors. Like strawman arguments, “examples of clueless tankies,” attempting to disguise the fact that they are as numerous as they are toxic. Like, “treated like an adult,” as an adult I’d like to not read rude and childish nonsense coming out of Hexbear.

If someone would suggest an instance that excludes hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml I would like that. Lemmy.world is 2/3, that’s nice. I assume the instance is only federated with .ml because .ml has some of the bigger communities. Unfortunately the .ml admins are actively participating in delusional thinking and silencing anyone who disagrees. Sounds like deciding for you whom you can and can’t talk to, but that must be totally different for some reason.

and silencing anybody who disagrees

My brother in Christ y’alls whole thing is blocking any instance that contains anybody who disagrees with your world view.

But right, its only bad when they do it and its good when you do it. 🙄
