@Littlebobbytables I wanted a slightly sturdier server-level blocklist and to not have my following choices restricted by the beef between Stux and the Art admin. (If I weren't writing about tech, I'd probably have stayed, I think Stux is largely a great moderator, just a couple things off.)

@kissane @Littlebobbytables I’m starting to think it would be good to have a sort of psychogeographical map of the fediverse. I had no idea there was beef between Stux and Art (both moderators and neighbourhoods I like). Is there anyone covering this sort of news, either via micro or normal blog do you know? Seems important as one’s understanding of fedi grows more sophisticated.

@kissane @Littlebobbytables Just finished reading your article and I see this is pretty much what you’re calling for.

@charlesroper@indieweb.social There isn't anybody covering it in general. For that specific incident @ifixcoinops@retro.social has a good perspective here -- i've attached an excerpt but the whole thing is worth reading!

@kissane@mas.to the attached highights another affordance issue -- and violation of the principle of least surprise. When I discussed this in "Should the Fediverse welcome its new surveillance-capitalism overlords?" I said

"Details aside, one of the key takeaways here is the lack of maturity of the software: after six years why wasn't there an option of defederating in a way that allows connections to be reestablished when the situation changes and refederation is possible?"

@kissane @Littlebobbytables The .art defederation of other instances has a history of abuse with no recourse.

Made worse by the fact their defederation also completely breaks any automation around migrations since the automated messages for follower migration are dropped when defederated.

I wish there was a stronger server covenant along with better migration and i wish Admins talked a lot more to sort things out.

I know i can reach stux at almost any moment of the day and he and other admins can do the same for me and my admins - it’s unfortunate those who abuse their admin powers do no such thing and have a history of burning bridges or making sure they never were there to begin with.

users suffer immensely from this and i find it appalling
