So, this community isn't hosted on lemmy.world because they don't what that on their servers. Fine. But now they're censoring what I can see?! Are we okay with this?
It's their instance, their rules. You can join another instance that doesn't defederate from them or make your own. That's the beauty of the fediverse design. It doesn't matter if we're okay with it, we have options to get around it unlike with centralized platforms.
This is kind of my point. lemmy.world doesn't like what this community is doing so it's not hosted on their server. I get and respect that.
What I don't understand is the rationality behind blocking this specific community. It's someone somewhere deciding what I can or can't see on a remote host they have no control over.
Eh, I get both sides of the argument. They’re not deciding what you can or can’t see, they’re deciding what you can or can’t see while using their resources. Personally, that type of censorship would lead me to be looking for another instance, but I also get where they’re coming from. Kinda.
