"Federating with servers that spread bigoted lies is wrong"

of course

look at my bio: #NoThreads is displayed prominently

and that is an entirely different topic

the topic here is amongst servers: asshole mods severing connections on pique, not violation of serious rules

individual people should block with abandon

server mods should follow serious rules to suspend, not whim or cruelty

or you rot the #fediverse, you drive people away due to capricious bullshit

Fediverse have a solution to "asshole admin" - become an admin yourself. Of course it assumes you would got busy with moderation (pay with time) of own instance, or will need to pay some money for hosting, even if is some single-person instance. Or both.
But this is better than not having any solution to "asshole mod" problem we see across all centralized media/platforms.

I agree that there is a risk of what I can call "feudal behavior" from instance admins.
But again, having at least the technical option to become admin of own instance and collect together people across these instances affected by the feud between these admins, is solution available via Fediverse out of the box.
It does not require a protocol update or a creation if new moderation mechanism, or defining any legally binding licensing or exams for admins.

Just to clarify my earlier post, I had totally misunderstood what Ben was saying. I think we're on the same side here.

I've edited my original reply to make this clear and remove the criticism.
