and one day the admin decides that the whole national broadcasting network is someway evil and transphobic and must be blocked. I’d honestly be sooo pissed. The Fediverse only works if we stop digging trenches and we start communicating more. It’s called the Fediverse, not the De-fediverse. It’s autonomous communities that talk to each other, not little fiefdoms at war with one another
The amount of irony in this comment is hilarious to a point. In all honesty, where was these points when a vast majority of Lemmy and Mastodon admins (and a majority of users) defederated or wanted to be defederated from Threads as soon as even a mention that they were federating with the fediverse came out. Furthermore, some instances just did it instantly without even asking their user base for these exact same reasons.
Besides, the BBC is a largely conservative network. Not as much as America (which says alot about our politics but that’s not the point). They had shown that they were not willing to even apologize for the blatant transphobia when they released that terrible article even out of numerous protests and complaints. There is a really good video by Shaun that really puts into perspective how transphobic and shit the BBC really is: vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=b4buJMMiwcg (invidious instance). It upsets me that alot of users here didn’t really give a damn about this exact issue when Threads was being defederated.
Besides my point, mastodon.art is quite known for being very quick to block and having very strict rules. No matter what, that’s something that users have to (or already have) come to respect. It is both the user and admins decsion to whatever they want with an instance. If a user doesn’t like it, leave. Move to another instance. Almost every other instance is allowing BBC to have access. Don’t support this behavior by continuing to use that platform.
So they join, they invest their time and energy into the instance Ironically, the beauty of the mastodon (and really the fediverse really) is the fact that you can easily move and migrate over to a different instance. All your followers move over to the new account on the new instance while all your posts are archived on the old instance. So if you really wanted to leave .art, you could and even have an archive for your followers that can link you back to your account. This just really shows a lack of understanding or even care about Activity Pub. Otherwise, why be bothered. You’re not there. Why judge users and their admins on what they can or can’t do. Let the users who actually USE the platform to decide (maybe they want a really restrictive space).
I absolutely see this point honestly. Defederating should be taken absolutely seriously and not just abused all the time. The more I sit on it, the more it just kinda sounds egotistical in a way. Though I am worried how it may feel like we are ignoring the trans community but I also feel you’re absolutely right when it comes to this point.
There’s a donate button on the top of the page (it looks like a heart) you can donate there. Second, a little off topic trick but did you know Mastodon users can communicate with us as well!! its pretty cool
