So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
just block the lemmy.ml instance and if you start to feel annoyed by the hexbear, block that one too. You will not notice any loss
I thought y’all are defederated from hexbear
my instance doesn’t defederate from anyone
This is the way. I would prefer local blocking to complete defederation, because then the onus is on me.
The problem is some people are gullible. Yeah we’ll I know it’s their problem. But I can’t help to have some concern for my fellows in the internet. Though I also recognize their freedom to choose for themselves. It’s truly a conundrum. Where does concern stop and overstepping start eh?
It sounds good to let each user decide for themselves, but you must remember that these instances that you as a user block still get to have influence on voting. So even if you block all the instances you don’t want to have an influence, they’ll still have an influence on your feed.
Not defederating from anything is not the best path if you want to shut out an instance.
Hexbear defederated from everyone, but everyone didn’t defederate from Hexbear.
Truly a bubble into themselves. Let’s see where that cycle leads them.
