- 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.
So Beehaw has defederated from your home instance, are you implying that Beehaw is the "garbage instances full of hateful people"? Or are you saying that sh.itjust.works is and you tip your fedora to them for recognising it?
Defederation is a powerful tool which will no doubt be abused, especially with lemmy in it's infancy. I just hope that it isn't abused to the point of completely fracturing the lemmyverse, further confusing new users until they just give up and make an account on the "meaverse" (or whatever facebook endup calling it)
This sounds like the premise for an action comedy movie that is a lot more interesting than reality.
