@stux @scirave The existential threat comes from a process that isn't solved by blocking at "the first sight of things going wrong". In fact that's precisely the reaction they're hoping for.

They only start the really sketchy stuff once they're an entrenched incumbent with majority control over key areas of development and a critical mass audience. By the time that happens, defederating destroys the communities you support, making it untenable.

How do you plan to resolve this?

@stux @trebach No, I missed you doing the bare minimum to fix the problem you created, amidst all the posting about how much you don't like another admin.

Good for you. Now do the thinking before the clicking, next time, instead of after, when the complaints have become inconvenient.

@stux Dude, what are you doing? You suspended a whole instance, impacting hundreds of users who chose, of their own volition, to follow people on .art, because you don't like the person who runs it?

That is very bad form, especially since it happened without warning for people on both sides, people who know nothing about your grudges.

The proper thing to do here would be to admit fault, remove the suspension, and then inform your users about it, so they can restore their connections if they so choose.

You're a big boi, don't be doing this Nathan-style fit of rage nonsense 😒
