I think it should. Has it defederated and does it plan to?

    One of the major advantages of user controlled communities is that your community can decide on what is allowed, like having rules about not tolerating intolerance. How is that toxic?

    Also its pretty easy to join multiple instances and have a few accounts if you want.

      Sure, but if you need several accounts just to be able to participate globally, how is that better than non-federated networks?

        The answer was in the comment you replied to.

        your community can decide on what is allowed, like having rules about not tolerating intolerance.

        I think those wanting to participate globally are in the minority.

        you’ve made a few comments on this post now, but none of them are addressing the point of contention. you’re getting caught up in these hyper-specific details. this is just one tiny component of a larger issue.

        would you say that drowning isn’t possible, because you don’t drown when you shower? you’re missing the rest of the information.

        there are several comments here, including mine somewhere in reply to this thread, that address why this is life-threatening to the infrastructure of the fediverse. please understand those points and understand that this is a cumulative pressure. hyper-focusing on these details (which could be debated, but it’s unnecessary as it’s not relevant) will only make you miss the bigger picture.
