Lately I see a lot of calls do have specific instances defederated for a particular subset of reasons:
- Don’t like their content
- Dont like their political leaning
- Dont like their free speech approach
- General feeling of being offended
- I want a safe space!
- This instance if hurting vulnerable people
I personally find each and every one of these arguments invalid. Everybody has the right to live in an echo chamber, but mandating it for everyone else is something that goes a bit too far.
Has humanity really developed into a situation where words and thoughts are more hurtful than sticks and stones?

Controversial topic, feel free to discuss!
No one forced you to join this server. Don’t barge into others houses and re-arrange the furniture.
So many children.
The exact same idea applies to you. Except I don’t disparage people for sharing their opinions.
