A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is really what I worry about now. One of the top complaints from redditors was that "I'm afraid to choose an instance and then have them defederate from other ones I care about" I don't think defederating whole instances is the right choice, personally. I do agree we need better mod tools to mod away groups of bad actors, but I don't see anything wrong with perma bans either.
Unfortunately there really are only hammers at the moment. You can't just defederate a community, but even if you could that wouldn't help here.
It's not that the two instances were hosting objectionable content, it was that they had a slew of users come to Beehaw to try and disrupt the community, and continue to do things like ban evasion.
