I don't follow the controversy over lemmy.ml but it seems to me that federation isn't about pushing one POV or suppressing another, it's about not using corporate media, right?

Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

MODERATORS
Yes. Supporting genocidal regimes and fascists that have been plaguing society for the better part of the century are ok UNTIL they become transphobic.
Pathetic self interested selfish instance. Now I don't think we should be defederating for any reason other than illegal content, so I agree with this move, however I disagree with the reasoning.
Blahaj.zone and its mods have been the king of bad ideas and accelerating echo chambers, so I'm not surprised. In fact this is probably one good thing they've done until they say doors are transphobic or something and ban people who don't remove doors off their houses.
I'm surprised to see this many people think the same as me. They are way too strict and full of censorship. Saying anything will get you flagged as transphobic, even if you’re just politely debating about a subject you want to get informed about.
"You should have known" - "you’re just transphobic"
blahaj.zone is an insult to the LGBT
Not Ada making another move that definitely doesn’t support transphobes.
Feddit.uk gets defederated for not responding to a single user's transphobia fast enough, while Lemmy.ml gets transphobic admins and no defederation.
Almost like it's petty Church Study Group power politics instead of principles driving this.
Agree, and I think the answer is less defederation not more.
For real
Apparently saying the west is coopting LGBT issues for racist / imperialist purpose is now transphobic. Yet "Arabs deserved it because they kill gays" is a perfectly valid opinion to have apparently.
Next stop: the word "pink washing" is now misogyny, and talking about neoliberalism is a bannable offense.
The admin of .ml and developer of Lemmy said that trans people were tricked into being trans so they could be used as a wedge issue.
If you have to keep supporting .ml and their shit beleifs at least have the balls to not lie about what you support.
What is this word salad?
Do you even understand your own gibberish?
