Semantics. If you defederate an instance, in this case lemmy.world blocks the instance /c/(hate group), you make the decision for everyone on that instance (you being the owner), on who can see what. This will create pockets of many little hubs instead of one big decentralized mesh network. This comes right back to the “owner” of the instance controlling everything that the user can see. I understand someone is paying the bills and that moderation is going to be needed. This is of course going to come down to choice. Is there a way to view each instances block list? If not it should be implemented into the back end somewhere, once again to allow freedom of choice.

What decision procedures are in place to stop rogue instance owners from making unilateral decisions? I admit I’m very new to lemmy and activitypub as a whole. If the community as a whole can weight in on the decision, then by all means, go ahead. 100% fair and I agree with you. I’m just against any type of actions being made by small groups of individuals that are “for the good of everyone”. I really don’t have an agenda here. I just want the freedom of choice for everyone. I’m tired of living in a world where there are people who think they know whats best for everyone else.

Thank you for your time to respond. Regards.

While I understand your wanting to ban such a community, I think moving away from that type of action is a good thing. It’s all about personal freedom. I have some instances blocked already but I would never decide to do that for everyone because what gives me that right? Speak out against them. Make your views know. Denounce, Rage, never quit. But never censor. Freedom of information and choice is the end goal. Banning a topic is what leads to radicals because they have no outlet for their insanity.

Reddit hasn’t been the same since they fired that lady who did the AMAs. That was the start of the decline. Then they went and hired that psycho lady who they had to shit can. Then Tencent bought a 30% stake. One of the tech acquisition arms of the CPP. There’s really only one way it could have went.

I was just thinking the same thing. I’ve been sorting my new and you can refresh every 10 or 12 seconds if you want to and more and more keeps popping up. I’m happy that I’m not seeing many spam post yet. Hopefully the hate community stay away also. Sometimes I think it’s better to have them out in the open though, where we can read and see and be reminded what we need to fight against.

I think the whole point is to keep them from merging. No centralization. That way you can up and down vote servers along with post or block certain servers altogether. Now they might be able to incorporate it some way in the app where you could group common instances and assign your own categories. That would work pretty well.

Isn’t that the point of decentralization allowing users to pick and choose what they want to see? If you don’t want to see Loli all you have to do is block the server from your feed. I’m not a fan of Hentaiof any of its subs. But I digress, I’m not on your server so I guess I don’t really have a say. 😁

Yeah I second this, either recycle or look for a local charity who might recycle and make some money off of it their selves. They might even pick it up for free. Regarding value, if it’s a generic PC clone from the 1990s and up it’s hardly worth the gas to bring it to the recycling center.

Between Reddit getting rid of moderation tool, now Musk getting rid of block, it’s going to be a race for which becomes 4chan2.

Cool, they must have found a bigger liar to replace him at Bethesda. It took them some time searching but they finally did it.

I hope it all burns 🔥🔥🔥 I deleted my two accounts. I went to the main page today without an ad blocker just to see what it’s like because I haven’t used it that way in like 8 years. It’s ridiculous it’s just filled with ads and spam now. I’ve been using RIF for most of my time on Reddit and there’s no going back. They should have let sleeping dogs lie.
