I don’t get what the problem is? Anyone can elaborate.

Edit: Thank you all for shedding more light on this topic. I’ve never really used flatpak but I do understand it better now!

    lemmy.world has had a handful of back to back queerphobic trolls spamming hate across multiple groups and instances.

    They would get banned and come right back.

    The reason they were able to do that is because of the open signups on lemmy.world.

    Beehaw is an instance that takes protecting their members as their highest goal. They value it significantly more than wide federation.

    And so they blocked lemmy.world, as it was a source of bigotry towards their members, and there were no other moderation tools available to them to resolve the issue.

          Hopefully, as these federations mature, community/magazine moderators get greater ability to moderate content.

            And these sorts of defederations may also serve as a “hey, do something about this” smack to the defederated instances. Provided that lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works don’t actually want to have trolls like that among their users they could implement mechanisms to make it harder for them to sign up.

            If someone wants to deliberately run a 4chan-like free-for-all instance, that’s fine, but I expect nobody’s going to want to federate with it.
