You’re banning someone from a community called “Controversial” where the rules state, “This is not a safe place” and “Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own” because you disagree with them. In a post where you claim that defederating is censorship.

I don’t know if you’re trolling with this post or not but that is way too funny!

One server defederating from another is not a case of denying you from reading other people. You have the ability to join another server or make your own. You can even view content without an account. If I invited you into my house and you asked to watch a show on Netflix and I deny you, I am not preventing you from watching Netflix. I’m just not putting it on in my house. You can go home and watch Netflix.

The great thing about Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse is not that they are all federated, but that you can find a server that blocks what you don’t want to see. You can also create your own server for that purpose.

I’ll never forget I got this game around when it came out, which made me about 11. For some reason I was too stupid to realize this was a horror game based on the name and cover. I just read, “First Encounter Assault Recon”. The first jump scare had me panic unplug my ps2. I later worked up the courage to beat the whole game, which ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences and got me into the horror genre. I go back and play through every few years on GoG.

This one almost seems intentional

lol I’m glad my post made its way around to you then.

I was referring to low admin interest. For example if you did allow a few users on your server, then you grew bored of it and shut it down, they would lose access to their accounts. But running a server just for yourself honestly sounds like the best option if you have the money for it.

NSFW friendly content is a big factor for sure. I’ve seen a few complaints about hiding nsfw content not working too well, so it seems many servers are totally against it. I hope that gets straightened out soon.

I only have one lemmy account right now, but I’m definitely open to trying out other instances, I’m just not sure what the point is as long as you’re not stuck on one that has been blocked by several others. I’ve subscribed to many communities across several instances. It seems to me aside from making sure you don’t end up on a blocked server, you just want to make sure you pick a server that is in it for the long haul. From what I can tell you’re also on sh.itjust.works, but have you tried making an account on any other servers?

Good point, I expect things to look very different a year from now. I’m honestly not sure if it will continue to grow or if its just a fad. I hope for the former.

I’m not too worried about getting banned. I plan to be a rather “average” person throughout the fediverse. I was a lurker for about 10 years on reddit, but I do want to be a more active contributor here. I’m going to try to respect each server’s rules as best as I can and just avoid the ones I don’t agree with.
