The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    Call me an outlier, but isn’t the point of using Lemmy (and similar federations) is to allow free speech? Now federations are de-federizing day one? I don’t like this trend

      No. The point is so that servers can do what they want without influence. If a server hates Nazis, then they don’t have to participate with them. That’s their right.

      If a server wants free speech, they can do that, but it’ll always eat itself and that’s fun to watch as people piss and moan now that people don’t want to engage with them.

      If you think this is about free speech, I think you should join a free speech server. I’ll laugh when you find out free speech servers are just hateful places without consequences, though!

        Oh I’m not actually on shit just works.

        I’d rather the user blocks what they don’t want to see

          That’s a cop out. Blocking requires engagement with the content, and some of us want a blanket ban so it doesn’t seep into our space.

          I just want to post about fun stuff without having to wade waist deep in content that wants people to kill themselves.

            Guess I’m just more liberal here. Agree to disagree. I personally miss the wild west attitudes of the early internet
