Why is it that an instance decides for me which instances I can see? Why is it that mods are deciding for me which comments are censored?
Instances are the ones hosting the data on their servers + things not having mods can devolve very quickly with things like the nazi bar problem or the scam links that have been getting posted and removed in some communities. This is a different thing than whats in the post though, the post is talking about all communities needing to be fetched manually the first time theyre viewed
Ok, so why can't I just host the data on my own device and subscribe/unsubscribe from mods' actions?
Host your own instance and that would be the case
I wouldn't be seeing what mods are censoring elsewhere. It wouldn't be the case.
Modlog is public
And I'm just supposed to check it every time I open a post?
Because you’re too lazy to make your own instance.
Speak for yourself.
Fuck are you talking about? You’re on Lemmy.world, crying about Lemmy.world instance mods.
You can hop to another instance whenever you want. Lemm.ee has a very neutral defederation policy, if that’s you’re concern move there. If you want total control over federation, spin up your own instance
Otherwise stop whining
Get over yourself. I'm complaining about the format of the software, not this specific instance, though this instance IS shit.
I think moderation removals should only censor for the people subscribed to that moderator. Stuff that needs removed for reasons like people using an instance to dump data or illegal content and whatnot should be admin territory.
If I make my own instance, I'm still not seeing what moderators have removed elsewhere. It's removed.
K?
