Damn, I had not considered this angle. I can see that being a problem, wonder why we’ve done it this way with Lemmy/kbin and not just redirect to the host instance like mastodon does. Surely, for instances that don’t want to federate certain kinds of content, this would be the way to bypass this whole issue.
My initial thought that prompted this entire chain is that I think we should try our damnest to ensure that the fediverse as much of a coherent network as possible, it will have problematic communities and servers and surely we are going to have to expel the absolute rotten apples, but accepting the diversity of the system and dealing with it locally.
I am not advocating for tolerating illegal content here, just to be clear. I’m all for moderating them on a community level or server level if needed be, should they not fix the underlying issue.
In essence, the less likely any outside entity can demand we change in order to benefit them, the better. KDE/Mozilla/Meta whoever should do their down due-diligence and decide how they want to approach the fediverse, blemishes and all in order to make the site they want to make.
I don’t think it is unreasonable for the KDE instance to have to redirect profile as an example if they find content in them to be possibly questionable.
That is correct, I did downvote your comment!
