  • No server operator needs to federate with you.
  • No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
  • No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.

It's pretty odd to use a term about the blind focus on capital to describe a process (defederation) that's only really feasible because there's no capital.

A for-profit company must appease their users so they can grow. Lemmy has no such need. It does not need to grow. It simply needs to sustain, and instance owners don't have investment in its future growth. As a result they can afford to say "I don't like this user, begone" and "I don't like this entire instance's thing, go away."
