The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

bruh that's not how it works.

When an instance is blocked, YOU CANNOT ENGAGE WITH IT. You can view it if you know how to find it, but you can't access it, you can't comment on it, you can't have others from that instance contact you, you can't do anything in that blocked instance.

like fuck, earlier you talked about how easy it is for you to make an account. So go ahead and make a burggit account, and then try to post on a blocked instance. You'll find your post is invisible to everyone.

If you can view it, you can access it, dude. And the point is that you’re eminently free to participate in other instances that don’t restrict you, and that there are people using the site who aren’t you who might want posting restricted from some communities.

you can't fucking access it, omg. Go ahead, right now, make a burggit account and try to make a post on lemmy.world

Then, when that inevitably fails, I hope you apologise for your mistake. ___

Dude… “post” and “access” aren’t the same word, and you’re getting unnecessarily energetic about this just because I disagree you’re being CENSORED

Are you seriously arguing on semantics?

The core of the issue is the definition of fucking censorship! It’s been a semantic issue the whole time!
