The guy who started this whole thing by asking lemmy.world admins to defederate with lemmy.dbzer0.com is a lemm.ee account and he has asked lemm.ee to take similar action
Doesn’t matter who started it, all that matters is how the admins handle it. If all it takes is a new user asking for a community or instance to be blocked/de-federated and it just happens no questions asked, the admin in charge are to blame, not the person for asking.
That was not my point. My point was that the guy who planted the idea in the heads of the lemmy.world admins has planted the idea in the heads of the lemm.ee admins. They may or may not respond similarly as the lemmy.world admins
If I can just put things in the heads of the admins by making a post, then there’s something wrong with those admins.
Why don’t I just make a post suggesting they defederate from everyone and become a whitelist only server. Obviously they won’t do that because it would be the end of the instance so they do actually think about things. They just used this random person posting as an excuse. Hell, for all we know it’s one of the admins using an alt, and they just want an “excuse”.

Again - doesn’t matter. The admins are the ones making the decisions. The admins are the ones that made this dumb one.
Good on them if they don’t fall to the bait

I’m pretty certain the lemm.ee dev won’t block it. Time will tell.
I’ll tell ya a couple of three things, my estimation of Lemmy.world as a general-purpose instance just fucking plummeted.
