    lemmy.world defederated from a instance full of pro-russia shitheel trolls who would ruin any discussions regarding Ukraine. It’s very nice not having to scroll through their propaganda.

      Meh. I never saw anything like that. Usually russian-sympathizers are downvoted into oblivion and there’s not that many of them.

      I’m curious exactly what these people were saying, but now I’ll never get to see because someone else decided to censor it for me.

      Not really defederating, but I hope we can update lemmy so censorship is optional. You can choose to have posts hidden by mods hidden from you, or not. That way everyone wins, except for the children who think “I don’t want to see this, so neither should anyone else!” And honestly, who cares about those kids?

        I got kicked from communities in lemmy.ml a year ago when I tried Lemmy for the first time, for not worshipping everything China did.

          Glad that you actually came to saner instances once they came live, and didn’t just feel aversion to the Fediverse as a whole.

            I mean I did just stop using Lemmy for a year. Then when Reddit did dumb and Lemmy exploded, I forgot that Lemmy was what I had tried.
