I think the current methodology skews the data; consider that an instance federated with say, Hexbear, is probably going to have significantly more individual and community bans than an instance who only made 5-6 bans before recognizing the pattern and blocking the instance.

If the goal of this study is to see which places most aggressively moderate their content, you're actually getting somewhat of the reverse.

Wow this looks incredible

Very interesting stuff! Defederations should count as a ban of all instance users, imo.

We don't have a right to force other people to engage with us against their will. I must say I find it surprising that an "anarchist" would "agree to disagree" that "No means no".

But it's not ours. We can request someone else do something for us, but if they don't want to, and we continue making demands of someone else, then they have the right to stop interacting with us. That's not an attack and it doesn't cause injury.

But defederation is not something that be "threatened" because it's not an attack, it's a boundary. We don't have the right to control other people. If someone asks us to treat them a specific way and we choose not to, they have the right to walk away and without fear of harassment, just as we do.

I'm confused, we don't own them. We can't control what content someone else chooses to syndicate (or not) to their hard drive via the activitypub protocol.

Why do you say that? They hold no power over us, nor us over them. They can't control what we choose to store on our own hard drives.

its not the one thing like u said

How is defederating an "injury"?

Sharing here because the free speech instance censored it

Zionism means one thing and only one thing.
