A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted.

There's nothing in my comment to suggest that, and I think you're projecting here.

it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

I think many unintended consequences occurred from the defederation, and this situation is an excellent tangible example of that.

I don't think it was unintended in the sense that the admins didn't expect these consequences. At least to me, on their posts they seem very aware that what they're doing is very damaging, but they were stuck with choosing between the lesser of two evils, and they choose what was going to keep them more sane for now.
