Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

And just think, you guys were the ones who didn’t leave back when it was going down the shitter because you disagreed with the opinions of the people they were banning.
This isn’t even exactly a haven for wrongthink either. /r/fatpeoplehate couldn’t exist on Lemmy, so most people coming over aren’t even really concerned with political opinions being silenced, so much as they care about their particular political opinion being silenced.
It absolutely could exist. It’s just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That’s kind of the beauty of federation.
Well there ya go. Turns out the fediverse isn’t about freedom from corporations - and it’s just about creating your own brand of filter bubble.
Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.
Yes, but federation controls that on a wider level by adjusting what you’re allowed to see and interact with. Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still. That’s the point I’m making.
If everything federated by default, and users could sign up for filter lists or something to make it easy - sure. But that’s not how it works.
Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now, where if you mentioned a certain topic they were banning people; but they walked it back. I believe it was even the same topic of Luigi and “advocating violence”.
There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.
Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.
This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.
It really depends. World is friends with pretty much everyone with a few notable exceptions. There are definitely instances that care about that, but you can’t force an isolationist instance to communicate with you.
Freedom goes both ways. It also means freedom to form a bubble.
