What Is Love? Scientists Have Answers—But They Don’t All Agree https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/what_is_love_scientists_have_answer…
I really hope I don’t get into problems for saying this but fedi admins desperately need to learn that being angry at someone isn’t enough reason to defederate them or their entire instance
This is not about any particular admin or instance, I’ve had to migrate instances due to shit like this once already and at this point I’m considering just self hosting my own already even tho I know how that’ll be an awful time
If you have a single user instance then sure do whatever tf you want, and if you’re on an instance for you and like 5 close friends who all agree to do something then go on.
But at the minute you have an instance with more people and for a more general public you have a responsibility at your hands. Modding is no easy job, but this doesn’t mean you can just go around defedding people you don’t like from your whole instance.
Y’all know you can block accounts from your account like normal users too right? You know you don’t need to make decisions for everyone in your instance in order to do this right?
As someone who goes to church every Sunday, I can assure you that the last person whose theological opinion I'd value is Peter Thiel, whose name anagrams to "The Reptile".

At this point y’all are really looking like those twitter pseudocelebrities that every other week posted about how “we need to block everyone who follows X person!!!!!!!”
People can make mistakes, misunderstandings can happen and people can improve. You can’t just start a witch hunt at everyone that doesn’t agree to something you did. If you can’t accept this I’m sorry but maybe you should go touch some grass.
I’m sorry but I’m just so fucking angry at this point, I’ve seen SO MANY people doing this shit around here since I joined fedi and when I think we’re finally free of this bullshit it happens again. At this point I don’t even know which instance to recommend if someone asks me, every single instance I used to recommend has already been on some drama and will give a bad experience for people first joining. I’ve seen people leaving due to this shit and I’ve seen people not wanting to join because they know shit like this happens.
