  • While I somewhat agree with the core of your message I have to say that there should be other types of defederations/ “lock outs”

    Defederation fragments whole communities and creates some type of exclusivity when lemmy is suppose to be open and accessible by everyone.

    Beehaws reasoning was that they cannot moderate the new influx of members that come from these instances, especially if it’s that easy to sign up on them. My solution to this would be a feature that turns certain instances to read only instead of defederating them.

    As for the porn argument, I think that’s kind of unfair to use as an example in the beehaw scenario. Otherwise I completely understand. There’s where the nsfw tagging comes in hand though. If instance owners do not want to serve this kind of content lemmy should offer the option not to cache communities/post that are tagged nsfw. Obviously that feature set does not exist (yet) but lemmy is a fresh product that is constantly updating and changing. I’m hoping these types of changes get added though.
