Where's rusty shackleford work?

Wait hold on, so someone buys tickets to an event, show up, and have to buy canned water.

What, in your imagination, should be the next steps so they "don't consent to being abused"?

Right??? I send strangers pictures of mine all the time!!

It is about not wanting to be federated with instances with transphobic admins.

I might be missing something, but I believe an admin being potentially transphobic only matters if they do not moderate transphobic content that leaks out to other instances. I don't think I've seen transphobic content leak out of programming.dev.

That said, I've read some of Adas comments on the intention behind defederation, and blahaj. What I've learned is that Blahaj wans set up as a safe space, so 0 tolerance is understandable, and is well within their rights to establish and enforce.

Coming from someone who is just looking to Lemmy as a reddit alternative, it's simultaneously cool that communities can do this, and a little unfortunate that with Lemmy being as small as it is (compared to reddit), we are defederating over single comment threads. Again, blahaj was intended to be a safe space and has no obligation to be a part of the "reddit replacement" I'm looking for, so if they deem it necessary then good on them.

I'm just sitting here really confused at the choice to defederate based on a single chat.

Most folks at programming.dev, myself included, are there because it's related to their profession. That's what drew us there.

It baffles me to think that the entire instance has been judged and deemed unworthy because of a single comment chain that had disagreements.

You can block users you don't want to interact with. Some instances breed a potentially nasty sentiment or attitude, and when there are too many users from that instance to block, that's when I'd consider defederation. But a single conversation thread, involving a single person?

I've got no say in how another instance is ran. Just makes me a little sad about a much more fragmented future of Lemmy.

Yo did she just do that to someone lying on the ground? My ribcage hurts....

MUST BE THE LIBRUL AGENDA

Fwiw, citing c/privacy on Lemmy is very, very much also referencing a fractional percentage of society.

Don't forget that trump wished for his political enemies to "rot in hell" as part of his Merry Christmas message, , and he also shared a word cloud that prominently featured "revenge" and "dictatorship" with no context.

People who say "I'm not Trump" is not good enough of a reason to vote for a candidate are being petulant children. Trump has said he'd pardon all January 6th convicts if elected day 1. This will embolden political violence like none other, because if "your guy" gets in, you will face no consequences, so the amount of lying, cheating, and stealing when it comes to elections will go through the goddamn roof.

This man is on a hateful warpath. He will abuse the hell out of the office because of his ego. And people like the state secretary mentioned here will be in power while cheering him on.
