  • That’s a very fair argument and I appreciate you explaining that, though I don’t think it changes my stance on whether I agree with their decision. I feel there’s still a difference between hosting it directly vs the federated nature of the platform meaning that the content is copied so it can be served to an end user. Banning the communities feels a bit knee jerk to me, and it doesn’t help that the person pushing for the changes is clearly not interested in reasonable discussions about how the platform we’re on should or shouldn’t dictate ethical choices for their users (and is also a raging homophobe).

    Issues with the person pushing mods to make this change aside (since thats essentially irrelevant to whether it was the right call in a vacuum. Doesn’t matter that the guy sucks), the decision doesn’t sit right with me, even if I can empathize with the provided rationale.
