    You’re suggesting defederating the 5th largest Lemmy instance (~52k users, ~2.2k active) over the actions of a single digit number of people. I think you also suggested defederating hexbear (the next biggest at ~27k users, ~1.8k active) in the past.

    Lemmy aint big enough to be wiping out majority shares when you don’t like how a very small number of people act.

    Eh, I disagree. I don’t want to defederate from any instance except blatantly illegal ones or immoral ones.

    The admins of an instance being dickheads doesn’t make every user of that instance a dickhead. And if you go around defederating every instance you don’t agree with a minority on, we’re gonna end up with no friends at all. It will also drive people away from becoming Lamingtons if they see defederation drama going on - why join any instance if you may end up on a deserted island?

    Side note: here’s a nice bit of light reading on tolerating intolerance. And not tolerating tolerance. And vice versa:
