They are curating their instance in a particular way which is the very thing that the fediverse and lemmy allows for. Some people are butthurt that they aren't included.

The slightly more detailed explanation is that there has been a big increase in bots and trolls and due to a lack of moderation tools they opted for defederating with instances that conflicted with their goal. That goal seems to be an easy going and tolerant community. By nature this goal means that it will be a smaller community and for some reason that has angered people.

Seems to me like they're not really fit for the fediverse if they are just gonna defederate everyone, but whatever, they have every right to do it

I hate to see that people are so disturbed at what others are doing on another community@instance that simply blocking it on their account isn’t enough. Nonsensical. And the logical conclusion is producing nothing more than a Reddit clone with many of the same weaknesses.
