Hi guys,

Do you think we should have a mega thread (maybe even a locked one if that’s an option) explaining why each specific instance is blocked from this instance?

Just to give some clarity.

    We’ve got a kbin instance coming, but as a platform, it’s more alpha than beta, so there are speedbumps. It’s coming though :)

    When it comes to defederation, it’s pretty simple. Blahaj is a community for queer and gender diverse folk. Protecting that community and other marginalised users from hate is the main priority of my moderation decisions.

    If the admins of any instance (including the devs instances) let hate and bigotry spread and start hurting members of the Blahaj community, then that instance will be blocked. Other than that, I’m unlikely to defederate whole instances.

      agree, splitting a queer community over sectarianism is very bad vibes, especially considering 196 has nothing to do in particular with queerness, and in fact from what ive seen are very fetishizing of transgender people on their old subreddit. though i just learned about it today

      Why are people talking about kbin as if it was a separate universe?? I don’t see the point of hosting both platforms, it would be like if you added Akkoma in addition to Calckey

        It’s not a seperate universe, so much as a different lens through which to view the fediverse, and ny nature of being a different instance, it will also have it’s own community.

        If I could stick lemmy and kbin front ends on the same instance, and let people choose, I’d do that, but alas, it can’t be done.

        And personally, I prefer what kbin will be (though not what it is now) compared to lemmy. The tighter integration with the wider fediverse is a killer feature
