Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!!
chitak166@lemmy.world 9 months agoNo, I don’t think the conversation should be about the impact of federating with an instance.
If we want to see it, great. If we don’t, also great. But we should have the power to decide for ourselves instead of some biased admins.

So admins shouldn’t defederate from any instances at all? Even right wing Nazi instances with Nazi flags in every profile?
Yes, they want to protect their users from harmful instances. This is something the people who join those instances want.
They also want to “deplatform” those types from society as a whole.

Users should have the power to defederate in addition to admins.
Not everyone wants the same thing or has the same idea of what constitutes ‘harmful’ instances.
Yes, this is why it’s important to take individual control away from the user; to push an agenda.

They do.
That’s why I didn’t say “everyone”. I said “people who join those instances”. If you don’t want that, you can choose our migrate to a different one. Or even create your own.
You’re correct, of course, but “agendas” are not inherently negative.

How can I defederate from an instance? Last time this discussion was brought up, I didn’t think it was possible and everyone else agreed.
