       Defederating from an entire instance and encouraging others to do so before giving moderators a chance to respond is a pretty wild choice.There are certainly discussions to be had about the sustainability of moderation for instances with many thousands of users, but to post a call-out with a fediblock hashtag without contacting moderators or giving any time for a report to be addressed is fully ridiculous. The person in question's account was suspended promptly. We're all free to associate with whom we like here, but it's pretty fucked to rile people up about defederating when mods quickly addressed issue (especially since they weren't even directly contacted). Lol damn

       Not trying to be cryptic; it's impossible to keep up with all the fediverse shenanigans. I am referring to this particular nonsense:https://ubiqueros.com/notes/98t4vk2u1qEngaging like this is pretty indefensible. Mods here work extremely hard and are very responsive. If you don't allow them time to take action (which they promptly did), then what is it you think moderation and a code of conduct are for?I can absolutely understand people being fed up with white nonsense on the fediverse and having little patience for unresponsive moderators, but this is absolutely not that. This is clearly unprincipledAs the fediverse grows, bad actors weaponizing federation is gonna be a huge headache. The mod team here is extremely intentional and the folks here are resolute about our values; we have no tolerance for racism or bigotry on Kolektiva and we uplift that; if you defederate from us that is a loss for you and your users.

       On this topic, fully agree with this analysis from @rechelon https://mastodon.social/@rechelon/109549646502812262Moderators should be responsible for outlining a code of conduct and ensuring their users are aligned with it. They shouldn't have the authority to decide what parts of the fediverse their users can see. It's a conflation of responsibilities and it clearly becomes a mess of group think and fediblock posts.I fully appreciate Kolektiva's position that engaging with that isn't some form of activism for us. I want my feed filled with organizing work and relevant news and analysis and yes the occasional adorable puppy photo, not an unending stream of interpersonal, groupthink-driven demands to block kolektiva or mastodon[dot]social cause they're too big or X user just made an account there (a real shock with open registrations).Last rantish point here... folks need a place to land here (the fediverse is fucking confusing for folks new to decentralized social media (and even to some of us who've used it for a while)) and I very much want some sweet anarchist comrade in Greece who doesn't happen to have an invite token to be able to join this space. Of course we have to consider scaling and moderation issues with 10s of thousands of users, but damn you have to give moderators a chance to respond. Putting Kolektiva on blast with a fediblock tag before so much as filing a report or tagging mods is bullshit move; and you lost any credibility in my book (don't give a shit how long you've been around)
