MODERATORS
What's cool about the fediverse is that we get to choose.
Do I want to be in an instance that federates with everyone, good and bad?
Pros:
- More content.
- Potentially insightful debate.
Cons:
- More negativity.
- Potentially giving a platform to extremists.
Or do I want to be in an instance that defederates on a whim?
Pros:
- More positive content.
- Taking a strong stance against extremism.
Cons:
- Less content.
- Potentially missing insightful debate.
Personally, debate I've had that was insightful was generally in good faith to begin with, and would be allowed on platforms like Beehaw, so I don't see much use for "anything goes" kinds of platforms. Additionally, I'm not always in the mood for debate. I can just switch between different instances depending on my mood. Given that everyone can choose their instance, I don't see much of a reason for trying to federate with everyone.

I literally just left sh.itjust.works because they federated with hexbear.
I'd rather an instance defederate with a toxic instance than have to switch instances in order to avoid said toxic instance.
But apparently sh.itjust.works doesn't care about it's users wants despite the majority wanting to defederate.
