That is not censorship, my smooth friend. Nobody is censoring anybody in this context.
If you turn your tv off during a newscast are you censoring the broadcaster?
If my broadcaster blocks the news segments they don’t want me to see, it is. That’s what’s happening here. Instance owners are taking it upon themselves to block content from users. Bullying pieces of shit are trying to strong arm instance owners into defederating.
If you’re not going to contribute anything but your rage, you should shut up. This is what the downvote button is for.
No, the downvote is meant to be for things that don’t contribute to the discussion, not for things you disagree with.
Is this documented for Lemmy or just grandfathered from Reddit?
Not all instances even support upvotes. Some only support downvotes. Does every instance have to agree on the meaning?
