I thought we defederated from those Stalin fanboys? wtf?

I'm not really sure what made you think of that? Pretty sure ernest hasn't posted anything like that.

Lemmy.ml is not the tankie instance. Lemmygrad is.

Lemmy.ml is simply run by a tankie, however that so far has not impacted the instance much.

As lemmy is currently growing faster than kbin, we would only be hurting ourselves on the 'official' instance. Instead better instance blocking on a per user basis just needs to be implemented.

Find a new instance, this is not your fiefdom here to run.

Yeah, "go away if you're not happy" is really the lamest answer possible. And he is more like "captain reddit", always freaking out about popularity and subscribers.

Kbin.social is the official flagship instance representing kbin, and should strive to remain above squabbling over politics, only defederating from instances that are actively harmful.

Lemmy.ml is so far not an actively harmful instance. Plus, most people on kbin would prefer not to be defederated against their will and be unable to subscribe to communities from there.

Well, to quote you, if they are not happy they can always: "Find a new instance, this is not your fiefdom here to run."

Appeasing to "most people" would be more of a "democracy" (majority rule) than a "fiefdom".
It actually might be a good idea to organize some votes in the platform to decide on things like this.

I agree being able to filter/block everything from a domain on a per user basis would seem the reasonable middle ground.

Otherwise you'll just end up with constant demands to defederate based on conflicting moral codes.

I don't think growth should be the primary driver behind any instance, it should be about building and supporting the community on the instance.

Lastly I don't think your argument is very persuasive, pick an idiology/group you feel are immoral (nazis, kkk, isis, etc..) and see if your own argument would convince you.

I think you're thinking of Lemmygrad.

If so, they don't seem to reflect that in the way they're managing their community. At least, not from what I can see.

If they're keeping their politics separate from their moderation, I see no issue with it, or any reason for defederation.

Fucking bait this post is.

I would mind, I just don't think that it's worth cutting off huge swaths of communities, whom are largely not Nazis, from each other.
