   :-(
   mob justice is dangerous even when it's done allegedly in our defense
   what angry mob has ever thought of the innocent victims of their reactions? what decent person supports the normalization of exploiting mob rage as a weapon?
   who drives the normalization of instance blocking as a weapon, and why, when most situations that escalate to instance blocking (with innocent victims) could have been addressed with instance silencing, that doesn't overpower express wishes by instance users to receive messages from the targeted instance?

     @Romaq That is something the community is doing. I have not asked nor supported the idea of defederating from M.S

     @freemo "defederate from Mastodon.social?" Is that an action on Qoto.org's part or the Mastodon instance community as a whole shunning (essentially blocking) them? I am painfully, awkwardly new to this scene. Words mean things but I'm not clear the effect.

     Apparently thanks in part to my article about Eugen caving to a Nazi's misinformation campaign there is an effort to defederate from matodon.social (not something im promoting directly myself)... Several of his users are getting scared and starting to question if they should stay.

     I may not want M.S defederated, but maybe Eugen should not cave to Nazis then...
