Nah, that's just giving in to bully tactics. If we're banning communities because other instances threaten to defederate, what exactly is the point of running a separate instance?
We should ban users and communities because they break our rules, not because someone else on another community doesn't agree with how we decide to run this instance.
I'm not saying to ban them because of outside pressure, I'm saying to ban then because there's absolutely no value in having them here.
Like the only possible reason for that troll doing good thing was to stir shit.
It's like some random guy taking a shit in your living room, maybe your family won't come over maybe they will, but it still smells like shit.
I don't get your analogy. Someone starting a community doesn't impact me at all because I don't have to ever see it. Someone trolling in comments is annoying, so I just report and block them and don't see it anymore.
So it's more like a channel existing on my TV that I absolutely hate, so I just don't ever watch that channel.
I never saw that person's posts, and the only reason I even knew about it was this thread, and within a day it was gone. It's the definition of non-news. Things like this are annoying for a day or so, and then the community takes care of it and it's done.
So it seems like this person achieved their goal of riling people up. Instead of making drama, just report, block, and move on.
