    A bad and broken system isn’t an excuse for doing nothing about a problem.

    Defederation is the best option available.

    Much better than requiring individuals to block toxic instances.

        People who don’t have skin in the game often like to point out the facts, or play devil’s advocate.

          And yet here I am, telling you facts being the one to suffer the most from calling them out, while nothing bad happens to you. Fancy that

            Once again your interest in the subject has nothing to do with the subject themselves and everything to do with you. It’s not about what’s best for the community but what is interesting and relevant to you.

              And it does, because I am the one who has been calling out popular instances for this crap since day one and have been banned repeatedly for it. To which you don’t bat an eye because who cares what happens to an inebriated pachyderm? Instance admins would never abuse their power to protect their feelings or cover up their wrongdoing with you. You’re kind and sober, after all.

              Ask yourself where it is you’re going to go when .world admins ban you for criticizing them, or other innocuous shit like your political speech, or simply because they don’t like you. .world controls the vast majority of Lemmy’s userbase so what happens to you and any followings you build then? What will happen when major protests erupt next year and they censor people like fucking Reddit did?

              All I can do is warn you. And once again you’ll refuse to listen to me because you’re too busy, how did you put it? Making it all about you and your hurt feelings from my words instead of displaying the humility and wisdom required to do what’s right. And the one who will pay the price for it is you.
