Apparently thanks in part to my article about Eugen caving to a Nazi's misinformation campaign there is an effort to defederate from matodon.social (not something im promoting directly myself)... Several of his users are getting scared and starting to question if they should stay.
I may not want M.S defederated, but maybe Eugen should not cave to Nazis then...
@freemo "defederate from Mastodon.social?" Is that an action on Qoto.org's part or the Mastodon instance community as a whole shunning (essentially blocking) them? I am painfully, awkwardly new to this scene. Words mean things but I'm not clear the effect.
There's been ripples in the wider Mastodon community for several days about mastodon.social's moderation, and people have been actively moving away from it. I hadn't seen talk about defederation, but it makes sense that people consider it if it's problems are being exposed one by one.
Many threads mention me trying to get them defederated and link my article.. so people seem to have gotten that impression... But as I said that isnt my intent. My intent is to expose the truth, what consequences that has is on Eugen not me.
