It Really Felt Like 2 Friends Fighting

Hopefully it doesn't take the threat of defederation to make janitors do their jobs in the future.
Between blahaj banning dissenters and feddit being transphobic it's on us the users to keep them all in line.

It made me so damn happy to see it.
Plus, my respect for everyone involved went higher than before.
Both the feddit admins for working things out this quickly, and Ada for showing that she's the kind of admin that will fight tooth and nail for her instance and the people on it, but not hold grudges.
- Drag apologised to Ada but she won't unban drag :(. Drag was genuinely sorry. Misunderstood the situation, learned from the mistake.
  
  I don't know that that's a grudge, but I understand it doesn't feel good.
  Fwiw, I enjoy having you around.

They are now refederated: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances

I'm banned from both I think
- Why
- Bad look
- Telling on yourself is always allowed. 🤷‍♀️
- I'm commenting so I can look into why later because there's not a lot of m@teys who'd be proud of that.
  
  Lmao DW I'm not transphobic.
- Que cagada hiciste?
- kekw

Still don't really like instances pressuring other instances over things. I don't really know why federation with blahaj.zone is necessary. If they want to have a curated platform, let them. Although wouldn't it have been possible for blahaj to ban the user they were taking issue with from their instance themselves? The whole case seems confusing to me
- As far as I understand, they could ban that particular user from their instance.
  Not sure why it rose to a question about defederation, unless I'm misunderstanding the tools they have access too, or the number of people involved.
  
  Probably tools. Iirc it was one user. I think if you could defederate individual users, BZ would basically be bullying F.UK
- They can't ban the other instances users from posting on non blahaj.zone communities they are connected to, nor can they can the ban individual communities on other instances.
  The only tool an instance has right now to "ban" a user from another instance is to defederate the whole instance. Since that instances admins appeared to be indifferent to concerns at the core of blahaj existing, they took the one action they have available to resolve it.
  It looks extreme, but not when you realize its literally the one option available.
  
  I think admins not having absolute power over their little echo fiefdoms is a good feature of the fediverse
  
  That sucks. I think it's mainly Lemmy moderation tools at fault here. It should be a feature to defederate/hide a specific user from an instance imo.
  I can understand Ada, she wants her community to be the way it is, and that's fine. And for the Feddit.UK admins for wanting to have Blahaj content on here. It just sucks for all here.
