MODERATORS
I don’t understand why you were downvoted. Lemmy gives us all the tools we need to block communities and users we don’t want to see. Is that not good enough? Do they want to control the experience for everyone else as well? Bunch of authoritarians in here.
Lemmy also gives you the possibility to set up your own instance and choose your own rules and who you federate with..
Exactly. If OP wants to defederated, they should go and set up their own instance. Why are they trying to control the experience for everyone else?
Probably because they've seen content they don't like and instead of taking the personal responsibility of blocking it themselves, they want it done at the federation level.
More like I joined this instance because I agreed with its ruleset, and want to support this instances' further success by alerting admins to major moderation issues before they snowball into a big problem.
The admin agreed, so sucks to your "free speech".
You should feel proud, here's a medal 🥇
EXACTLY DUDE LOL
Very much agreed it's basic common sense
They weren't downvoted, this instance doesn't even allow downvotes
They have 26 downvotes. You have two. You don’t see them because your instance doesn’t let you see them. We can see them from other instances.
Interesting, my understanding was that instances with no downvoting didn't store any downvotes at all, so they would only exist in the instance of the user who made them, i.e. 26 people from your instance have downvoted that comment but there's no info from other instances, is that not the case?
Ah, that is interesting. Maybe that’s exactly how it works. I’m learning something new about Lemmy every day.
Exactly this. People have the tools and abilities to block these communities and domains if they don't want to see that content. Pulling out the de-federation ban-hammer whenever you personally aren't keen on the content isn't a reasonable solution.
It's all about control to them dude.
yeah how dare I want to tell homophobes to shut the hell up. It's so controlling and authoritarian, oh no.
edit: and what exactly are we "controlling" anyway? All this would do is support the ruleset that exists on lemmy.one. If you want to go take part in that hate, go sign up with exploding-heads; it will continue to exist, we just will not be providing a larger platform for them.
Yes of course they do. That's what they want
