You don’t think it runs antithetical to the entire foundational concept of a federation? I’m sorry that (apparently?) some unwanted attention was given, but you can’t deny it really stinks of taking your ball and going home.

Edit: I thought it was kbin that did the defederating.

Do you not have sufficient moderation? Strikes me as a bit of a dick move, especially with no notice, given that it’s one of the larger communities I subscribed to.
