Have you read through the thread? Tons of examples of admin abuse. I fully expect to cop another ban for this comment thread soon.
Also, I would disagree with calling defederation ‘censorship’. Nobody was prevented from speaking up. Refusal to engage with somebody you disagree with is not censorship.
Preventing people from interacting with whole instances is the ultimate form of censorship. Deleting comments is nothing compared to literally deleting all the users from one instance.
Well yeah, but it stops people on other instances seeing deliberately biased comment sections. Effectively disallowing discussion about China bad and other issues on many major posts. If you defederate it forces people to make new posts and not use the compromised ones.
It’s like if we had an alt-right instance regularly getting on the front page, then banning LGBTQ+ discussion on any of those posts, and only allowing bigoted opinions through
There’s a lot of irony to this comic being posted on .ml, given the current discussion about censorship issues on this instance
Dude, .world defederated from lemmygrad and Hexbear. They are the ones who have a censorship problem

Nothing is stopping anyone from interacting with other instances. Just not here is all.
The ones that are defederated cannot interact with the ones they defederated from.
I’m aware. Are you unable to set up another account there somehow?
You can always get an account on an instance you can’t see from your main
Yeah, so .world should stop complaining about censorship when they are the #1 censorship instance.

I support .world defederating from whoever they wish, same as I support .ml running their own instance the way they want to run it.

Clearly goes both ways.
