MODERATORS
Yes I know. Mbin and Kbin should be encouraged to change this. We're currently in a fairly benign environment so it doesn't really matter but if the threadiverse ever got big then this could become serious enough to be a cause for defederation.
Who are you to impose how others run their instance? Clearly this should be an option that each instance can set by itself. You are of course free to defederate, but that's kinda like an instance that has downvotes disabled defederating from instances that have downvotes enabled. You can do it but it's kind of arbitrary I would say.
