Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It's absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn't be allowed to continue.

Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.

Is it though? As the moderation sets the tone and defines what is allowed conversation. By simply denying truth, they are guilty of the same "alternative facts" shit the trump camp is guilty of.. and that is pretty damn dangerous for everyone.

And unfortunately by setting an instance to block I still have to deal with their scummy Userbase all over the fediverse. deFederation removes that too. It is a solution to the issue. Just like we won't accept people coming on here and spouting actual nazi propaganda, an instance under the control of authoritarian apologists should not be kept around simply because they run a large instance.

You're talking like a totalitarian. People with this worldview should not hold power, and certainly should not determine what is acceptable discourse.

It is disappointing to see that some Americans/Westerners are allergic to disagreeing worldviews. Apparently diversity is only permitted so long as it broadly supports liberal democracies and capitalist understandings of history.

Sickening stuff. Makes me think Lemmy isn't much better than Reddit, particularly if this attitude becomes more prevalent on here

LoL.. project much?

Judging from your post history, you calling me names is something I'll wear as a badge of honor.
