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.

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.
I approve when a server defederates from instances that have a large number of bad faith actors. Like strawman arguments, "examples of clueless tankies," attempting to disguise the fact that they are as numerous as they are toxic. Like, "treated like an adult," as an adult I'd like to not read rude and childish nonsense coming out of Hexbear.
If someone would suggest an instance that excludes hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml I would like that. Lemmy.world is 2/3, that's nice. I assume the instance is only federated with .ml because .ml has some of the bigger communities. Unfortunately the .ml admins are actively participating in delusional thinking and silencing anyone who disagrees. Sounds like deciding for you whom you can and can't talk to, but that must be totally different for some reason.
My brother in Christ y'alls whole thing is blocking any instance that contains anybody who disagrees with your world view.
But right, its only bad when they do it and its good when you do it. 🙄
Blocking trolls, yeah, or instances that are more trolls than good faith participants. Maybe you don't see a difference between that and just different opinions because you don't know how to disagree in good faith.

EDIT: For people claiming to be the "sane" ones, y'all sure have a compulsive need to win anonymous internet arguments by digging deep through a stranger's history for anything you can use then blocking them.
Very sane. much adult.
Do even your middle school peers consider it good faith if you are deliberately substituting your own words for what was written and copy/pasting your own smug comments (https://reddthat.com/comment/14346864) trying to make people mad? It's childish, that's why people don't engage.
