It seems that the issue was resolved behind closed doors, so it could have been resolved behind closed doors to begin with, and then if the defederation was to go ahead simply announce the defederation....
The point to them is to inform users that it’s happening before it happens, so that it doesn’t catch people completely by surprise.
The fact that they can’t be restricted to this instance alone, and federate to every other lemmy instance, means they become a drama point, but unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for that. The moment it becomes an option, I will be using it for threads like that
I wasn’t “going to talk to them anyway”. They approached me to tell me they were looking in to it, and then when they made a public meta thread with an update, the defederation was rescinded.
I can do that part manually, but if you stop them interacting completely, it just makes it worse. When they can see it but can’t interact, the trolling, the fake signups, the spam etc kicks in.
just think you’re acting on faulty information, so the result of this defederation won’t align with your intentions
I have been managing communities online and offline for decades. I am also a member of the minority group impacted by this issue.
You do not have the same lived experience or familiarity with the issue at hand
When I tell you that I’m acting in an informed and considered way, I hope you respect that.
I am also in talks with an admin from programming.dev to try and resolve this.
I appreciate that your comment was made in good will, but implying that I don’t know what I’m doing, and I’m somehow failing to understand the topic at hand is not helping anything
I honestly haven’t been paying that much attention while we’re away. Perhaps a better way of putting it is that we’ll be ready to consider upgrading when we’re back.
A fork of lemmy. I don’t mean we’re committed to swapping to it or anything. It’s just something on our radar too. But until we’re back from holiday, it’s all just ideas :)
What's the point of 48-hour defederation threads?

Yuck twitter. But:...
Updated - programming.dev defederation on hold
Update: In light of the programming.dev update here programming.dev/post/8399272, the defederation is no longer going ahead....
Lemmy v0.19.1
Are there plans to update to 0.19?...
