Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I wish the fediverse is able to contain all the ideas, all the political positions and that disconnecting/blocking an instance is only used for behaviors like spamming. Not giving every political stance the opportunity to be a part of the same world fuels extremists.

Beehaw and other instances can kick all the users with far-right beliefs. That's fair. But Lemmy users shouldn't be blocked to listen to or even interact with them, in their own instances, if they wanted. Don't help creating political ghettos.

How would I be blocked from "listening to" (that's never what's going on) psedo-Nazis in my own instance?

Sorry, I didn't understood what you meant. Especially the parenthesis part.

[–] sophware@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's the unimportant part.

Let me be clear. I'm asking, "How would I be blocked from listening to and interacting with anyone in my own instance?"

[–] d3fc0n1@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh no no no. Sorry, it was probably my fault since english is not my native language. I was referring to theirs instances! in your example, the neo-nazis instances.

In other words, I was trying to say that I agree with instances (like beehaw) being able to block what they consider to be toxic instances, but I'm against removing instances from the lemmy fediverse if that's even possible. Like, removing them from the network.

Well, you're in luck, that is exactly how things are.

I'm not super over how the fediverse works mechanically; I was under the impression that users could create their own instances and interact with who they choose to?
