    Considering that their literal stated purpose is to create a curated list of ‘nice, well-run servers’, I don’t see how delisting someone is remotely outside of their wheelhouse. If a server is federated with meta, it’s not well-run. Easy peasy.

    Nobody needs to be listed on Fedi Garden or has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. They can still federate or defederate as they wish, just as Fedi Garden can choose to list them or not as they wish. Everybody gets to do what they want, as is the point.

      I love when people conflate rights and ethics. I agree with you that no one has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. And I still think it’s not nice to pressure admins into taking choice away from users.

        It’s literally a list of well-run servers. Do you not see how you’re attempting to ‘take away choice’ from the proprietors of the list by telling them who they must list and what criteria they must use for their website?

        You’re perfectly capable of doing what they’ve done. Go spend the time to curate a list, put up a simple little site, and make your own decisions. Nobody’s stopping you. That’s the point of federation and independence. You get to do what you want if you have the follow-through.

        Admins likewise can do whatever they like. They can choose to federate with threads or to not.

        Personally, I think it’s a little shady to run around shaming people who put their time and effort into projects and insist that they must lick Meta’s boots. Little bit suspect.

          1. “Run around” = Respond to a thread that appeared in my subscriptions.
          2. “Must lick Meta’s boots” = Let users decide for themselves to block Meta.

          Your hyperbole makes it obvious you have no place in a reasonable debate about this topic.

          No, you see, when the server demands something I dislike that is removing choice. And when I demand something the server dislikes that is defending freedom.
