    If the blahaj admin(s) are working in the best interests of their users, and/or moderating out criminal content then that’s just swell.

    On the other hand, if they’re trying to control other people… that’s bad form.

    I always cringe when I hear: “you live under my roof, you live under my rules.” This has that kind of “feel;” yea?

      I feel like admins there are on a power trip, could be seen from their previous interactions.

        Possibly. Power is just representing others via. their trust in you. Trust can be earned, purchased, or stolen.

        I don’t think the blahaj admins bought their users off. I also don’t think they oppress them. I can only reasonably conclude their doing what they think is right.

        If the users agree, stay on the instance, and are happy there’s not really any discussion to be had.

        I like the instance and it sucks to see it defederate period. I can’t really say what reasons are right or wrong universally, except for criminal stuff. IMO.
