I'm personally opposed to defederation in all but the most extreme circumstances.
Can you define 'extreme circumstances'?
Is literal nazi propaganda extreme enough? Because you can already find it on Threads.
I was actually thinking of suggesting a defederation policy be drafted, so that we can have clear circumstances under which we would or would not defederate
That I agree with. Instances should have it layed it out clearly.
I mean it depends on how much and how it is being managed. Unfortunately, nazi propaganda is prevalent in many societies, so I don’t think it will be possible to have a platform be completely free from it, excepting very small, isolated communities. I can find it on posters outside my house, but that clearly doesn’t reflect the views of the vast majority of people in my neighborhood. It’s here on Lemmy as well. I don’t think that alone warrants some kind of quarantine policy, if those views are being actively opposed and/or removed. If an instance is operating as a safe haven for those views to fester and spread then that may warrant defederation if it is causing serious harm to federated communities.
