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.

Defederating from Hexbear.net (startrek.website)

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.

expect vague answers or examples of individual clueless tankies used to justify the bans of entire instances at best.

defederating & banning from tankies is popular on the lemmyverse and they're making the decision of whom you can & can't talk to on your behalf; whether or not you asked them for it.

if you care about your agency on this social media platform; try switching or joining another instance that treats you like an adult that can make your own decisions.

pick one that doesn't defederate and their attempts to decide on your behalf will become self defeating and you'll still be able to participate here.

If I want to talk to people on a defederated instance, I can create an account on the defederated instance. Nobody has made any decision for me. You seem unhinged.

whether or not you asked them for it

Admins having the power to decide to defederate is implied simply by being a Lemmy server. It cannot be any other way. The only "asking" that occurs in this situation is a user asking permission to sign up, create an account and use the server where the admins necessarily have that power.
