I find it ironic on a free speech platform that access to a community about censorship is censored https://exploding-heads.com/c/censorship
What exactly is wrong with this instance to be defederated? In browsing it, I see nothing hateful
Or did they defederate from this instance, so you cant view/post on it. Not sure if I completely understand how that works yet
So essentially it’s highly censored to defederate them. Not only you can’t view them using a different instance and post, but registering there, you can only interact with their instance. Lemmy needs a better method. I was thinking about this the other day, why is something as simple as blocking content on the users end or blocking x type of content not an option, even on registration. Even if there’s hate speech mixed in, freedom of speech should exist, but freedom to not hear it, should also exist. Essentially shadow banning, but done by choice of those who don’t want to hear said content.
I really don’t think Lemmy will survive as everyone will be afraid of getting cancelled and defederated.
