I think it should. Has it defederated and does it plan to?

    The ability to choose what kind of contents and account you can see is one of the best part of decentralised social networks.

    Sure, but that’s why the user can choose to ignore instances/communities…?

      There are limits to defederation at a user level. Hard defederation can only be done at a server level.

      And server owners have the responsibility to keep their place safe from bad actors

      How do they do that? By defederating servers that contain and promote that type of people and content.

      A place like Beehaw that calls itself a safe space for marginalised groups cannot federate with anything owned by Meta, which openly allows racist, ableist and anti queer rhetoric on their platforms.

      They already block a long list of alt-right servers, why would threads (that has already whitelisted alt-right propaganda groups like libsoftiktok) be any different?

      When I choose this server I did because I knew they would defederate from any server promoting alt-right/“free speech” rhetoric
