I have noticed quit a few tankies and putin sympathizers showing up in lemmy.ml do we plan on defederating from them?

    I’ve seen a lot of posts like this across multiple instances. Now, obviously it’s up to individual owners/mods/communities. But, do we just defederate from everything we don’t agree with? Sounds kinda like when mods would ban people for interacting with another subreddit.

    You can block them and move on, without banning all discourse.

    Not trying to defend them, cause I have many tirades against Putin sympathizers, but, defederating as a first impulse feels wrong imo. That should be left for security issues (see lemmy.world) or things like corporate entities (meta).
