Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

Personally I specifically looked for an instance that defederates only illegal content, I can do the blocking of content I don’t care for myself. The most important thing is that I get as close to no preselected bias in my feed as possible.

From there I can block or hide whatever, I just want it to be my choice. Which is why I find all the defederation calls concerning. Use the blocking feature, defederation excludes discourse as well, and I would rather not sit in an echo chamber.

I fully agree. I’m here so that I can avoid the political echo chambers like Reddit and Facebook. It’s been bizarre seeing the calls to turn Lemmy into Facebook.
