I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

Did you even check what those servers are? Because blocking spam servers is hardly what I would call knee-jerk defederation, but lots of users here are angry at the very idea of defederation because they were led astray and told that federation is something different than what it actually is (they think that it's an open and free platform with no curation or moderation on what servers they're allowed to access).
