  It’s kind of a weird argument considering lemmy.world has also blocked other instances, and (correct me if I’m wrong) without a vote on it.

    You are indeed correct. Lemmy.world is less democratic than dbzer0.

  Nah, it was decided with a vote. The majority in that server wanted Feddit blocked and that’s what came.

    Ah yes because nothing authoritarian was ever implemented through a vote…

    Personally, I voted against on my db0 account, the top voted comments explain pretty thoroughly why.

      Voting to block a domain and having that domain blocked isn’t comparable to electing an authoritarian leader. Dbzer0 can choose who to and not to federate with. Users who don’t like that move to another instance easily.

        Nobody has said that? What it does is remove the choice from each individual, which is authoritarian, even if done via majority vote. There was nothing stopping those who wanted the domain blocked to do that themselves.

      Authoritarian is a basically meaningless word already but “people voting for something I don’t like” is an especially idiotic way to define it.

        You’re right, that would be idiotic. Good thing I didn’t define authoritarian that way, and no, it is not a meaningless word, you can (in fact) look it up in a dictionary which describes the meaning fairly well.

  Yet another example of why the abstrct concept of “authoritarianism” is useless. In this case, the people of dbzer0 decided democratically to wield their authority to defederate from an instance with an explicit Zionist problem. It isn’t the defederation that’s the problem in the abstract, or the authority, it’s the fact that this authority was used against Zionists.

    or the authority

    Authority is exactly the problem. Who would’ve thought that somebody with an account on an anarchist instance has problems with other people telling them what they can and can’t do?

    Shocking, I know.

      You’re arguing against the people wielding their power againdt Zionists and in favor of Zionists being able to speak freely.

        Wow, is it really so hard to believe that I’m, you know, saying what I think?

        .world happened to be my first fediverse account, dbzer0 came later. I’ve lots at this point, exactly because of instance defederation, but the idea of what db0 was doing seemed particularly interesting, hence my disappointment.

        In any case I’ve nothing more to add here.

        Hope you get a nice weekend, ciao.

      So all moderation is wrong? Also you seem to very clearly not understand what anarchism is beyond the infantile “tyranny of bedtime” surface.
