- No server operator needs to federate with you.
- No server operator needs to tolerate things they don’t want on their instance.
- No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don’t want to see.
Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.
Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers’ posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.
Can you suggest that smaller instance? Meeaw and sh.it, the 2 instances I tried keep defederating left and right and justifying bullying as long as it confirms to their political opinions.
It’s hypocritical, circlejerky and boring. Made me go back to Reddit. I don’t understand how this paradigm of no user control without the absurd friction of self hosting is better for the user unless you’re a niche authoritarian who is fully subservient to some admin.
The one I’m on is federated everywhere, although I think it also defederates the nazi instances. I think you might have to accept that people just don’t want to communicate with nazis.
That might be too much to ask of them 🤷
Yeah, its the same old story.
Lemmy gives you unprecedented power to communicate with people who share your beliefs. If you really want to communicate with nazis so badly no one is stopping you from hosting your own instance and getting your own domain.
The issue is that nazis don’t want to just communicate with others that share their beliefs, they want to force others to abide by them - the bedrock of fascism. So they always resort to dishonest tactics to try to make this happen.
I am almost a libertarian when it comes to this. If you want to be weird nazis and talk about how much I deserve to die for existing go do it in your weird corner. Just keep it away from me, you weirdos.
