No they aren't. Users literally do not have the power to choose which instances they see. They have to rely on their instance admins or make their own instance.

You know you can choose another instance, or, Ya know, make a threads account.

Personally I don't want any sponsored posts here.

We came here to get away from corporations. Its not about censorship. You sound like a corporate shill with that take.

How does defederating protect you from Facebook? Honest question.

Their instance won't be able to interact with ours. If everyone does it we basically wall them in their own garden. But this time of our making. This honestly won't stop their content being reposted here.

Speak for yourself.

Everyone came here for their own reasons. Try not to project how you feel onto literally everyone else, lol.

Idk he sounds pretty reasonable to me and is specifically not lumping everyone into the same group as you are. Not everyone shares your opinion. Not everyone cares enough. I think the individual should be able to decide for themselves, and the ability to block an instance yourself is something desperately needed over this kind of wanton shutting out of things only some people are against.

You're free to decide to move to another instance... Simple👍🏼

And free to not move from lemmy.world if they don't block Facebook
