The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    …Because how is it censorship?

    You can literally access all content available on every instance from any account.

    Making an account is free and takes two minutes, I literally just did it.

    You can comment on any content you’re federated with from any account.

    You aren’t being suppressed from speaking at all.

        Well, no? Because you can still make a new instance to engage with that content? And because you can still see it if you deliberately look for it? Like I literally said?

            No offense but I don’t especially care that you don’t like how it works, because my point is just that it’s not censorship. Demonstrably you don’t need to make a new account to access other instances, you can still see and engage with those instances by deliberately interacting with them.

            Why would you federate yourself in an instance that you disagree with the moderation on??

            Lol as the fediverse gets large this problem will shrink, not grow, because more groups with different moderators and different moderation styles but the same communities will crop up.

                If you can view it, you can access it, dude. And the point is that you’re eminently free to participate in other instances that don’t restrict you, and that there are people using the site who aren’t you who might want posting restricted from some communities.

                    Dude… “post” and “access” aren’t the same word, and you’re getting unnecessarily energetic about this just because I disagree you’re being CENSORED
