Name one reason why anyone should federate with any of the listed instances. I’ll wait.

This is the reason why Lemmy doesn’t grow as much as it could.

Just because there are bad places on the street it doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be allowed to go there.

Is anyone keeping you from opening the bad instance in your browser? No.
If you want to go there, make an account there.

If every single person who walks on to that street gets instantly beaten, stabbed, or have pedophilia shoved in their face, I would absolutely want someone to stop me from walking down that part of the street.
There is a reason that thousands of instances all block these instances of their own accord, and it’s not because that instance provides any value whatsoever to any who decides to open it. It’s almost like it’s, you know, dangerous to be connected with that kind of content?
I dunno, if there’s a street that says “walk down this street to get stabbed” I’d take a wild guess that that street should probably have a safeguard preventing people from walking down it, It’s just common sense.

To a degree. I think lemmy wont grow because only socially inept nerd losers frequent this site.
TCB13@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What about everything else that isn’t “socially inept nerd losers” that is also defederated because someone felt like it. This is the same issues that we’ve with “freedom of speech”, if you block some it’s a slippery slope and you’ll eventually block what you shouldn’t. Look I don’t approve the actions and content those people post, for let’s not open precedents here.

I disagree with tankies, social justice warriors and nazis. I would only defederate the latter.
Tankies get banned when they inevitably excuse a holocaust and social justice warriors can only cry on the internet all day about why nobody gives them free shit just for existing and how people who have more than them are monsters.There, i opened the can of worms.
Fuck Nazis, but the biggest Problem lemmy has is the first 2.
Lemmy has no good content that isn’t “having money is genocide” and “haha this guy doesnt use Linux”
It won’t do well but ill stand on the side and watch them.TCB13@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Finally, someone with common sense.

None of these instances are Lemmy (or anything other on threadiverse)
IdleSheep@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Yes, I’m sure the reason we don’t grow is because we refuse to federate with nazi and pedo content. Oh what will the fediverse do without these folks.
TCB13@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah sure, in the same way that piracy was defederated or other multiple instances about nothing illegal.
