      This is exactly the reason why I myself am suspicious of anyone who tries to start shit when some instance defederates (or even implies they’re thinking about defederating) from another.

      Now, can “bad” defederations happen? Maybe. But the thing to realize is that each instance is it’s own community, and they all differ on what they accept and what they refuse. Some will be stricter, and some will do the bare minimum to not end up being Voat 2. And that’s why federation works, because you have the choice to pick where you stand in that spectrum.

      The trolls need people to troll in order to not implode, and they will pull every trick in the book in an attempt to keep as wide a reach as possible. That’s why anything without moderation capabilities of sort (and isn’t, like, DMs or otherwise small groups only) do not work in the long term.

      Good fucking riddance. Happy fizzling out in no-user-str.
