  • Everyone keeps repeating that defederation should be a last resort. Fine, but we should also acknowledge that the list of resorts is very short:

    1. Server admins talk to the admins of the server hosting the offending community, in an attempt to get them to clean their house. If they don’t;

    2. Defederate.

    There really isn’t anything else for server operators to do that isn’t just letting the offending community continue unabated.

    Offloading the responsibility to individual users to block users / communities is lazy. Most of us don’t want to spend our limited time playing whack-a-mole.

    I suspect we’ll see user accounts shuffling around so that they land on a home server whose defederation policy matches their preferences.
