Now that this community has mods, I think we should come to something approaching a consensus on whether there should be a rule against posting “nice” comics from transphobic and other kinds of bigoted artists. People like Stonetoss and Jago who have a lot of innocent-looking relatable comics, but also post the most mean, bigoted propaganda.
And I’d like to present a third option besides yes and no: one might post comics from bigoted artists after removing the artist credit, if the mods think that’s a good compromise.
You can speculate another platform might come up that some hardcodes in it the impossibility to deplatform other instances, but all I’m saying is that Lemmy and Piefed will not do it.
But even then, it’s a stretch because the tools required to remove seriously illegal content are the part of the same tools that would function as defederation tools. So it probably can’t be hardcoded out.
this is not about coding. I don’t want the code to make it impossible. I had a longer discussion with someone else that fleshes it out more but its more about general policy. defederation certainly has to be possible because of laws and liability.
Well there will always be instances that defederate almost nothing. There are now.
yeah. that basically goes with what I like. I do hope the software allows for more and more nuance with control of content for the user though. Like I blocked a domain and found out that blocks basically all the users and all the communities from the domain. I am holding out hope those will be seperated out so you can block users and communities seperately. I think many improvements will come because some amazing people have already done some amazing things.
