    I am watching instances on the fediverse once again fall into the trappings of giving too much benefit of the doubt/giving too much commitment to some flawed notion of “free speech” and all I can think about is how that is 90% of what ruins any quality community that starts gaining traction online.

    If this is the road we’re going down we may as well leave now. I’m tired of seeing this happen over and over again. 

    Admins: y’all need to be more liberal with the ban hammer. You also need to defederate from communities that are so blatantly toxic and fucked up. There are enough people out there now that we don’t need to be hanging out with literally any person who expresses interest in the fediverse. It’s time to exercise a little bit of discernment. Your generosity will be used against you like a cudgel. Make no mistake.

    Defederate. It’s the right call.
