I’m trying to understand this as a refuge from Reddit. I joined this instance because of the renewable energy commitment. I’m not beholden to this instance, but this seems like something a federated system could handle without banning an instance. Am I confused about how this works?
No- it can be easily handled multiple other ways too.
At THIS instance level (sh.itjust.works) 4. The community can be removed/blocked. This removes it globally.
Defederation is the complete nuke-from-orbit option, which should only be reserved when you have an instance that is unwilling to work with you to resolve issues.
Aka- you have an instance, owned by spammers, producing spam bots causing negative user experience.
I keep hearing this. Maybe. I should update my instance and let everyone know my server runs on pure sunlight too. lol
