Boo. Fie and Shame upon your house.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

Definitely think you should allow them again. Obviously not on your instance but restricting access to other instances is just not right. I do understand the concern though, I really hope in the end you realllow them.

This sort for reminds me of a Sybil attack.

I think it’s a good idea for everyone to register at an obscure Lemmy instance. If everyone’s on lemmy.world, it isn’t truly federated.

Reddit allows piracy communities. These Lemmy communities aren’t hosted on your servers. That’s the whole thing - dbzer0.com and lemmy.ml are taking the risks, though there probably aren’t many risks in the first place.

What the HECK is with the people complaining and downvoting... some of the things that struck me as weird about the lemmy.world community are coming into sharp focus. @lwadmin transparency and responsiveness is fine and admirable, but you don't owe these people anything lol

ITT a bunch of fuckheads who don't understand how federation works, and thinks that lemmy should be a free-for-all with infinite 'freedom of speech'

Jesus, go host your own instances, there's literally nothing stopping you. it's as easy as editing a config file and running a single command. Why people find defederation some major sleight i'll never understand.

Just had a look there and they're talking about the removals too, someone commented saying the word 'bitch' is censored here too?

Are there any Lemmy instances that have a policy against any censorship? I'd rather use one that doesn't defederate or censor anything.

Guess they deserved it because were too subtle in naming.
