he's right there. he has the pamphlets. he's giving them away for free. it's 100% available to anyone who wants it. no one is stopping you from doing anything, they're just not helping.
It's not true, they say of you take the pamphlet then I will never talk to you agan and will make sure you can't talk to me either.
who is saying that? who is saying that if you have an account on a defederated instance that you can't also have an account on their instance?
I think there is a misunderstanding here, I didn't say that you can't create a new instance or a new account on a different instance to technically go around the defederation (for a limited time). I also don't understand what your point is, the people from exploding heads can do that too.
the misunderstanding is in that I don't understand where defederating is in any way censorship, but everyone is treating it as though it's censorship. Defederating is just refusing to help spread someone's speech, which is perfectly fine and reasonable. The message I refuse to signal boost is still there, people can see it, they can even choose to boost it further if they want. The people who originate the message are not locked out of the instance that defederate them either. But everyone acts like this is the equivalent of putting a gun to someone's head and demanding that they shut up and I'm honestly really confused about it.
