Admins that deactivate indivdual just not okay users(nazi shit etc) instead of the entire instance for not moderating said user even after its pointed out, why?
To me this feels like youre picking up slack for the admins of said instance and moderating their users for them and im trying to understand why you would do this

@desea Instance moderators are never going to have 100% matching moderation policies. If every moderation disagreement led to a defed/fediblock, we'd end up with a very disjointed and fragile network.
Allowing nazis *does* sound like grounds for a block, but there are plenty of less-severe instances that would make sense to moderate on a per-user basis.

@cadey @joepie91 @desea I broadly agree, but it can also be an anti-feature. My personal social graph is a superset of my in-fediverse social graph, and it would be unpleasant to have ties cut with someone due to unrelated 3rd party disagreements (even if I can still reach those people by other means).
That said, I've also come to accept that it's just how the fediverse works, and on the whole I like it.

@retr0id @desea @cadey That's the thing though, the expectation that online social spaces must reflect your full social graph at all times is actually *very weird*, and an expectation that didn't exist at all prior to startup social media silos.
We don't expect this from any in-person social spaces - why would we expect it from online social spaces? Meeting different people in different places is a pretty normal part of social interaction, for precisely those reasons of social compatibility.
@joepie91 @retr0id @desea yeah, the disjointedness _looks_ like a weakness from the modern view of social media, but at some level it's really a _strength_ from a ship-of-Theseus longer term viability standpoint. It's just really hard to express this to younger people that grew up around siloes without sounding like I'm defending bad actors' rights to exist. I don't want them to exist either.
