MODERATORS
I would argue that defederation is a completely fucking brain dead way to deal with bad faith users.
And the “fediverse” has no answers here.
How come? I mean if there is a concentration of bad faith users on an instance or maybe the instance attracts such types because it has no rules or directly encourages such behaviour, is it not good that other instances can choose not to interact with that instance?
Try being a bad faith actor for a week and see how much defederation affects you.
It’s just drama fuel that does nothing to improve the quality of discourse on the network because it’s trivially bypassed.
It only punishes users with permanent identities, that is good faith users. Trolls just move. They do it all the time anyway to evade blocks.
But isn't that the case on all platforms? How can you get around this? Could the Fediverse do better somehow?
Listen, it’s clear you have not given this much thought. That’s ok. But I feel I’m wasting my breath here.
And you've presented no solutions; so you have wasted your breath, and inconvenienced untold scores of electrons with your whingefest.
Sorry, I'm not trying to convince you that you're wrong or anything, I'm genuinely curious what you think. I'm curious if there's a way to do better. Sorry if I offended you.
