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.

Probably most people interacting in our space are doing so through this method. It's something we have always paid attention to. In the long, long run we will likely have to do something about it.
Practically speaking we will likely have less tolerance for users like this who misbehave and we may have less discussions with them and simply ban and remove their content quicker.
Do you have any solutions in mind? I've been trying to think of something but nothing quite feels right.
Maybe having a setting like "Allow federated users to post" that you could disable, and then users from outside the instance can only comment, not post. That would at least cater the discussion somewhat to what the instance wants to talk about. It still feels very restricting though.
We don't have any tools to treat different instances differently except defederating at this time
