who cares?

Those of us who want to freely discuss geopolitics without fear of getting banned care.

Then do it from a different instance?

To move to another instance you have to be aware of the issue. To be aware of the issue you have to care about it.

it’s their instance. Complaining about it flies in the face of what lemmy is entirely about.

Or do I not understand the entire point of lemmy?

Maybe just one half. True, one half is that every instance can do what it wants.

The other half is, that users can do what they want. In order to be able to do what they want, they need information about instances.

People speaking up about what many people would consider frown-worthy instance behaviour is an important part of that process.

We are free to warn each other.
