Thank you for telling me what I want, I guess? There's a lot between "open" and "closed" internet. Defederation is certainly more towards closed than open, no? And I would prefer it to go the other way, that's all.

I literally did not use quotes. I'm very confused. Are you mistaking me for someone else? I will say it again, I'm very sincere. White supremacy (along with any type of racism) is fucking stupid. I used the term wrongthink because it goes both ways- lemmygrad would consider capitalism wrongthink.

I completely agree. Believe me, I get why the admins are making the choices they are. In the current situation of how the fediverse works, it'd be stupid not to act. I just hope that it's able to be addressed- no more proliferation of CSAM through duplication on every instance, better moderation, more control- so that defederation doesn't have to be used in these situations.

Uhh... what quotations?

I've already said, I'm being completely genuine. And it's why I said "in either direction", because lemmygrad defederates from stuff too.

It is a gung-ho way, but I understand why I'm being downvoted. People hear "I want to have the ability to view anything" or "I don't like being told what I can or cannot view on the internet" as "I want to view CSAM" or "I am actually a Nazi", which should result in an emotional reaction. It's just not what I'm saying.

Please read the rest of this thread to see how I deal with non-idiots.

I think so too, especially if and when users get the ability to block entire instances. That will prevent some of the defederation-for-wrongthink (in either direction, it doesn't matter), and as it matures, I think the "accidentally hosting CSAM" will be less of an issue as well.

How on EARTH do you read that anecdote and come away with "Yeah he's a Nazi" and not "Man that person was an idiot and Nazi labels are used way too liberally"? Like actually how? Do you wear a helmet to bed?

Trust me, I would if I could. It's a shame that I can't.

I'd say that's fair. I understand that what I want is unlikely to come about, it's a somewhat extreme view, and due to Lemmy's current configuration, admins are on the hook legally for everything posted on their server. Something needs to change for defederation to change, and it's very likely that defederation won't change. I've only ever been expressing a concern of mine. Lemmy doesn't cater to my will- I'm not even a programmer, I couldn't do any of this stuff even if I had the power to do so. I just hope that it does change.

Absolutely agreed. I hope that becomes a feature soon, I know it is or was being worked on.
