Still don’t really like instances pressuring other instances over things. I don’t really know why federation with blahaj.zone is necessary. If they want to have a curated platform, let them. Although wouldn’t it have been possible for blahaj to ban the user they were taking issue with from their instance themselves? The whole case seems confusing to me
They can’t ban the other instances users from posting on non blahaj.zone communities they are connected to, nor can they can the ban individual communities on other instances.
The only tool an instance has right now to “ban” a user from another instance is to defederate the whole instance. Since that instances admins appeared to be indifferent to concerns at the core of blahaj existing, they took the one action they have available to resolve it.
It looks extreme, but not when you realize its literally the one option available.
That sucks. I think it’s mainly Lemmy moderation tools at fault here. It should be a feature to defederate/hide a specific user from an instance imo.
I can understand Ada, she wants her community to be the way it is, and that’s fine. And for the Feddit.UK admins for wanting to have Blahaj content on here. It just sucks for all here.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules
Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Blahaj refederated:
I think admins not having absolute power over their little echo fiefdoms is a good feature of the fediverse
It’s not like they couldn’t implement it though
As far as I understand, they could ban that particular user from their instance.
Not sure why it rose to a question about defederation, unless I’m misunderstanding the tools they have access too, or the number of people involved.
Probably tools. Iirc it was one user. I think if you could defederate individual users, BZ would basically be bullying F.UK
