This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other’s content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.

@[email protected] Can I ask what they were propagandising about?
expect vague answers or examples of individual clueless tankies used to justify the bans of entire instances at best.
defederating & banning from tankies is popular on the lemmyverse and they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf; whether or not you asked them for it.
if you care about your agency on this social media platform; try switching or joining another instance that treats you like an adult that can make your own decisions.
pick one that doesn’t defederate and their attempts to decide on your behalf will become self defeating and you’ll still be able to participate here.

Anyone who wants to spool up an alt on a defederated server is welcome to do so. We suck at totalitarianism.
This is a bad take. Server admins have the final say on who they federate with. I prefer to be on an instance that bans tankies and other poorly moderated instances. Heck, I support defederating with lemmy.ml because it’s users seem to be confused about what freedom is.
no one’s arguing that they can’t make up their own rules.
also let people on other instances believe whatever they want; it has no bearing on you and you can block them and entire instances for yourself if you need to.
i don’t want power tripping mods/admins or suppressive policies to make that decision for me; that’s why so many people and I left reddit; i’m an adult who can make up my own mind and the lemmyverse already has the tools to empower me to do so.
this isn’t reddit or a walled garden; in the fediverse it’s the vegetables section of a community garden that was designed to maximize cross pollination and defederation episodes like this are like trying to install a permeable gate that don’t stop that cross pollination.
The concept of defederation is literally the single most important core feature differentiating the Fediverse from centralized social media. I find it interesting that you feel employing it to be antithetical to the concept of federated networks.
What took so long?
Defederation is the nuclear option. Until now we had removed any communities we weren’t comfortable hosting, and treated users on a case-by-case basis based on how they behaved in our communities, which worked for a while but became untenable.
When we started this project the admin team felt that welcoming outsiders into our (wholesome, sane) Star Trek communities was the net-positive action. But as I said it became too much to handle so we unfortunately had to cut the cord.
I trust you’ll defed from .world too right?
It’s not propaganda when liberalism
Seriously! When I browse “all” the timeline is absolutely choked with insipid liberal political propaganda coming from .world.
I love when bigoted instances make themselves known so openly. Sucks you people never learned any values presented in Star Trek.
