almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
History isn’t your strong suit, is it?
Ah well, the current oligarchic state of China is totally unrelated to the system that created it, and instead is a bastardization of “true” communism, right?
You fundamentally do not understand that I do not feel like I am being treated like a baby. I have zero interest in seeing tankie shit from lemmygrad. I signed up onto an instance that defederated from lemmygrad. The mods did not make an announcement, but the deferedation was publicly visible from logs. I am not bothered by this.
You’re free to ask “why were the users not consulted or informed?” but you must also accept that “because we didn’t want to” is a complete answer. If you don’t like the answer given, then move on. The operators are not a corporation, you are not entitled to any specific level of service. Why you choose to get hostile when someone explains this to you is beyond me.
Best of luck in your lemmy adventure.
Go check out the modlog, its publicly visible. It’s their instance, they can do what they want. If you dislike how the admins handle their server’s federation status, make your own. I’m going to eventually because I want to control what I’m federated with, but for now I accept that I’m at the instance admin’s mercy.
Shifting control to randos via federation is a double edged sword. This is the downside, from your perspective.
!enoughmuskspam already exists somewhere I think
