I think they are clarifying due to what has happened with Ubisoft. They’re also using it as an opportunity to spread the word farther that they won’t do the same thing.

Thank you for the recommendations. I just grabbed the first of Scalzi’s books.

I binged the books not knowing that the series was done. I was so disappointed when I finished the last book. I didn’t want to leave.

I wasn’t talking about this one specific instance really. I was using it as an example while talking about the tools needed for managing federation and what a user sees.

Are you seeing angry comments about /u/spez or hateful comments? While I can understand and condone angry comments I would hope that hateful or threatening comments are being moderated appropriately.

I guess I don’t see “go see the titanic” memes as “hateful” given that they’re coming from a acute sense of betrayal rather than something like racism or nationalism. That’s probably because I’m angry too and see some of the distasteful comments and memes as somewhat justified in this case. I don’t post shit like that but I don’t see it as the same as the hate speech that used to come from /r/the_donald.

You’re probably right that blocking a single community should probably be an option.

That said, if an instance is willing to allow hateful communities like TD, I expect their comment sections will be more toxic than other instances. I like the idea of defederating from instances that allow hateful communities.
