  The strength of the fediverse is exactly this: don’t like what an instance admin is doing? Move to another instance or create your own.

      If censorship is what’s being criticized, it’s no different.

        We vote on who we want to defederate from. Our vote threads even have cool pirate themed images and stuff.

        If censorship is what’s being criticized, it’s no different.

        Paradox of tolerance

        I hate when censorship comes for people I do like.

        I love when censorship comes for people I don’t like.

        it’s just become such a nanny instance that jumps on everyone’s shit.

        Admins are fighting a flood of instances and users more interested in getting attention than participating in the community. Consequently, you’ll have power users ballooning the front page with click-bait. You’ll have instances choke full of reactionary content specifically intended to bait a flame war. You’ll have spammers plugging their own brands or working on behalf of some third party. And you’ll have the odd bot-farm or other automated account that’s just probing the Fediverse for gaps.

        “Ah, but the individual users can always block what they choose”

        Sure. Technically. But nobody wants to wake up every morning to a front page that’s full of shit. The spammers can bloat your inbox faster than the individual can flush it out. So Admins who step in and do a little public house cleaning - the Nanny work you hate - makes the website cleaner and friendlier for lay users that pop in now and then.

      Ultimately when you criticize censorship you ultimately get a bunch of Freeze peach libertarians who want to do whatever they want and see moderation as something to fear. That’s why it’s important to be precise and not speak in broad or abstract terms when criticizing censorship.

    That’s a pro in my book considering I had harassment directed my way by a feddit admin.
