Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other's content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.

I approve when a server defederates from instances that have a large number of bad faith actors. Like strawman arguments, "examples of clueless tankies," attempting to disguise the fact that they are as numerous as they are toxic. Like, "treated like an adult," as an adult I'd like to not read rude and childish nonsense coming out of Hexbear.

If someone would suggest an instance that excludes hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml I would like that. Lemmy.world is 2/3, that's nice. I assume the instance is only federated with .ml because .ml has some of the bigger communities. Unfortunately the .ml admins are actively participating in delusional thinking and silencing anyone who disagrees. Sounds like deciding for you whom you can and can't talk to, but that must be totally different for some reason.

The two main instances that have all three blocked are lemmy.cafe, and dubvee.org.

Nice! Thank you.

I think Beehaw.org is. We're 2/3 as well (now). .ml has some communities/users we've removed, but largely speaking .ml users have not caused any issues on our hosted communities, and we feel exposing them to our (generally awesome) communities is the net-positive here. Honestly .world's (lack of) moderation is more actively an issue for our mods, but since they're so big and we're a niche instance we really can't afford to de-federate from them.

Originally joined ml not knowing. Looking to move but haven't really found what I'm looking for yet.

Lemm.ee and lemmy.zip are nice choices

and silencing anybody who disagrees

My brother in Christ y'alls whole thing is blocking any instance that contains anybody who disagrees with your world view.

But right, its only bad when they do it and its good when you do it. 🙄

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Blocking trolls, yeah, or instances that are more trolls than good faith participants. Maybe you don't see a difference between that and just different opinions because you don't know how to disagree in good faith.

You have a differing opinion and therefore are a bad faith actor

🎵🎵 Hey, Hi, You're the problem It's you! 🎵🎵

EDIT: For people claiming to be the "sane" ones, y'all sure have a compulsive need to win anonymous internet arguments by digging deep through a stranger's history for anything you can use then blocking them.

Very sane. much adult.

Do even your middle school peers consider it good faith if you are deliberately substituting your own words for what was written and copy/pasting your own smug comments (https://reddthat.com/comment/14346864) trying to make people mad? It's childish, that's why people don't engage.
