It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
These are obvious faults in the fed structure and can and should be addressed via server and client features. The fediverse concept is a technology in its infancy and it's allowed to stumble as it learns to walk.
They feel like the only tool to prevent this is defederation. We also have instance blocking server side, right? Is there an in-between feature that could work? Something weird like shareable instance filter lists. Or a "maybe" category - some "Enter at your own risk" flag an instance could set short of defederation?
I'm not here just because fuck spez etc, but because I think the fediverse will be a stepping stone to better tech to manage diverse populations, so I'm not really interested in fixing libs so much as having tools to better federate.
Individual users can block instances if that's what you mean.
