My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right Lemmygrad Exploding Heads Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
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.
