I’m honestly super confused about what you can and can’t do when federation ties have been cut.

    Not exactly, because it’s not like mods are on vacation, and I don’t know what incentive trolls would have to post somewhere they can’t get a rise out of most people or spew their propaganda.

    I do think there’s got to be a more prominently displayed flag when within a community that is currently defederated.

      100% agree with the bottom statement. There needs to be a way to say that this is not content from beehaw.

      As for modding though… since federation was severed, wouldn’t someone like a beehaw c/lgbtq_plus mod not be able to touch content that was being posted to [email protected] on the LW instance?

      Couldn’t it just turn into a shit show of people impersonating communities within an instance?

        I’ll try to get some information on it from the admins, whether reports propagate to the hosted instance, the post’s instance (and whether it still works after de-fed) or both.
