  • Yeah, I agree. Hopefully that’s something that can be added. Imagine we decided to hold a banner contest for a fancy new look, right? At the moment, nothing is stopping folks from remote communities we’re tangentially linked to from brigading the vote to be a BoatyMcBoatface situation. Since each instance is it’s own community that connects to a wider community, there really should be the ability to keep some things local.




  • At the moment, I’m fully in support of retaining the defed from shitjustworks, simply because they have an open registration policy and as such, are completely filled to the brim with trolls and other bad actors using their space to harass other people. Right now what’s happening is folks are able to make an account on shitjustworks and lemmy.world, go troll other instances to their heart’s content, get banned, and then spin up a new account in seconds to do it again.

    Lemmy’s mod tools aren’t very robust at the moment, so defederating from a place that isn’t ensuring they have a handle on their own community is the best tool instances have to protect their own community. If either of those places get themselves together properly, I assume there should be no problem refederating with them.
