I'm sure that it was very stressful for the Fosstodon admins to run the instance.
But they could've also, y'know, chosen *not* to run a massive public instance with view-from-nowhere rules, like people on here have been begging large instance admins like them to do for years.
So no, you don't get to ignore the advice of "don't run big public instances because it's unsustainable to moderate" and then *also* complain when people hold you accountable for the predicted outcomes of shit moderation. You're free to ignore the advice but then the consequences are also yours.

@joepie91 Additionally, some of the arguments against defederation seem to boil down to...
Some instance: We're defederating from you because $Reason.
Accused admin: Although I fully deny $Reason and state that you're crazy and/or lying, I emphatically demand to remain federated with you.
Or...
Some rando: If $Instance keeps defederating like this, they'll just end up cut off from *everyone*!
$Instance: You suspiciously care an awful lot about who *we* want to collaborate with.

@joepie91 truly one of those cases where I have to go to my storage room and rummage about for 20 minutes to find one of my smallest violins
