~~Hm, while this vote is technically passing, I have a concern about quorum. Do we really want to enforce a defederation with only 7 votes?~~
Edit : wait lemme check the bot didn't die instead
Edit2: nevermind the bot bugged out

Nah, some religions are not genocidal, and you know this damn well.
Any religion that attracts millions of people will be twisted to be genocidal. We can see how even religions like Buddhism can be twisted in this manner.
Explain. Especially how this is in any shape “progressive.”
No, I don't have time, nor do you get to demand it.
Explain to me Dao’s “heinous shit.”
Mate, stop playing obtuse. You know what I'm talking about...
For fash.world? Or you mean overall?
Overall.
There's similar heinous shit in all religions. Singling out Islam, especially during this period, is problematic.
PTB, even if they felt they had a point here by stretching belief to claim that someone's edgy label was a dliberate threat to themselves (I mean, seriously...), defederating a whole-ass instance because of one admins, with zero-warning and zero attempts at discussion, not even with their own community is just the top of power-trippin'. For me it shows that LW admins feel they can throw their weight around because of the amount of users they have, which is precicely what many people have been warning about the de-facto centralization happening when L.W. is suggested as the "default" instance. Now the sensitivities of a single, unelected and uncontrollable admin, affect the social connections of most of the threadiverse.
Could Luminous be more "professional" as an admin? Sure (I keep telling people "murder" is the wrong word to use). Their unfiltered takes have routinely been annoying both tankies and libs which is probably not the behaviour that you want to have from an admin. But is that a defederation-worthy reason? Kaplan surely thinks so, but I'm curious to see if their 10K MAU agree that they can't see anyone in the same place as one problematic person.
But at the end of the day, claiming that this is a credible "death threat" is patently absurd behavior and I urge people to think if they really want instant defederations without deliberation at the whims of a few power-users is the threadiverse they want to have.
Please consider telling fediseer to solicit a guarantee from as you request it, as then their admins get a pm. Not many people watch this thread
Did you also see the db cpu spiking during this period?
Thanks so much for doing the legwork on this. I was going nuts trying to figure out where seemingly random downtimes were coming from. It felt like a DOS and this cause explains why.
Out of curiosity, how did you trace this root cause?

I sure hope I don't find out something horrible about this actor in the future. But until then...

Post video pointing out Russia's terrible loses, get removed for "sympathizing with invaders"

The video I linked for reference
I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."
Just patently ridiculous moderation...

quokk.au joining the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla as a Companion Instance [Flotilla]
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Hello again peeps, I come back to you with more exciting news. After last months vote passed to accept quokk.au as a member of the FAF, the vote on their end only just marginally failed for a 1-vote tiebreaker. The primary reservation people expressed back then was not wanting to follow the FAF defederations/bans as many people chose quokk.au explicitly due to their defederation list, particularly of Marxist-Leninist-friendly instances like hexbear.
Given however that there was willingness from admins on both sides to collaborate and provide mutual aid to each other due to our shared values, we went back to the drawing board to find a compromise. The main issue was that we wanted a way where we didn't want to sacrifice the tight integration of the FAF proper, but there is also an option "softer" version of the flotilla integration, which is less technical and more political.
So we came down to having two different tiers of membership in the flotilla
Consorts: These are the fully integrated members of the FAF. For all accounts and purposes, they count as a single instance, as they follow the same rules, bans and federations and their members get voting rights on all proposals. I.e. the original vision I proposed.
Companions: These are the more politically-only aligned instances.
- They don't have to follow the FAF defederations and bans so they have no say in those either. However companion instances can optionally chose to follow defederations and/or bans, which allows them to vote on them as well.
- They can take part in the voting for rules which don't refer to deferations or bans, and they have to follow those rules (e.g. golden rules, radical admin recalls etc). They are also allowed to propose new rule changes as well for the whole FAF.
- They get access to FAF private matrix channels and benefit from our resident technical expertise and moderation experiences.
Naturally a Companion instance can at any time become a Consort by simply on-boarding existing FAF defeds & bans and therefore immediately get future voting rights for those as well.
After we reached internal consensus on these two tiers, we then re-approached @Quokka@quokk.au to see if that would cover their reservations and we're today happy to announce that they've officially joined the FAF.
On a personal note: It's been always my passion to grow a system that is not only technically robust, but also politically as well, and the only way we can achieve this is by reinforcing the mutual aid ties between aligned actors, while providing enough independence for self-expression. This is yet another step in that direction and I hope it can lead to more versatile fediverse structures like feeler networks and whatnot.
