This is the best part imo. I don’t think people from the affected instances should have a voice in what our instance does either. I’d hope that the vote is only open to members of this instance.
The problem these guys don’t seem to understand is they absolutely become guilty by association. If you hang out with bigots all day and defend their “right to free speech” anytime someone calls them a bigot, then you are also a bigot. Also, you know, Freedom of speech doesn’t mean requirement of others to listen.

Nah. Sensitive types will just call the things they don’t like “hate speech” to justify pushing their opinions on others. Authoritarian semantics. Yawn.

Authoritarian semantics that is taken to a vote. Bravo, you live in a perpetual circlejerk.

If you are worried about the “sensitive users” calling something hate speech just to defederate an instance, rest assured the admin here looks at everything from all angles before making a decision on what to do. This is discussed in on the matrix channel quite a bit before the admins of lemmy.zip make their decisions on what to do.
Demigodrick and Sami listen to information provided and research it before even starting to think about to decide what to do. And like he posted, he does not want to defederate unless absolutely necessary based on his local laws since he is in the UK.

yeah i agree, they take a lot of user input before making decisions that will effect the community. also the final decision will still be made by the users (unless it becomes a legal issue). with that being said i highly recommend all lemmy.zip users to join the matrix server and voice their different viewpoints.
