I am confused. If the admin in question is no longer an admin, what's the need for defederation?
Because this was their goal and the admins was just the excuse they're using to get rid of another instance world can see
Lmao wait, there are conspiracy theorists on lemmy?
I'd call it less "conspiracy theory" and more "a history of .world's administration", personally.
Yeah but also usually just stay on lemmy.world and piefed
Because they're on world
defederation was done while this person was still an admin
But they're not of dbzer0. So where is your justification for claiming that you are talking about defederating with them? Oh right. Literally none.
Will the two instances work to refederate now that the (former) admin is no longer in power?
The current admins continue to vigorously defend the admin who resigned.
Just to be clear, so do the users.
This behavior from .world is why I left it in the first place.
Given your comments on here, I'm also now glad I didn't decide to join piefed.social when I was excited to try out piefed. Its pretty disappointing.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and point out that an admin getting banned for self-proclaimed support of Zionism is completely appropriate. Defederating an instance with an edgy bit in their profile is completely inappropriate.
This behavior was brought by the same people who tried to push "Everyone's opinion is valid, no matter how horrible, you'll just have to talk through it or you'll be banned", which they later backtracked on.
So this is entirely what I would expect of @MrKaplan@lemmy.world. Your behavior is a bit of surprise to me, but now I know, so at least there is that.
No they're not Rimu, you're wildly misrepresenting reality.
They're attacking the defederation and saying that Kaplan overreacted. Some think that Lum went too far, others do not, but it is not the consistent opinion that you make it out to be.
Why not?
No the Lemmy.world admins continue to vigorously project their insecurities.
I see. Thank you for clarifying; the timing was unclear in the original post.
