If so, they don't seem to reflect that in the way they're managing their community. At least, not from what I can see.

If they're keeping their politics separate from their moderation, I see no issue with it, or any reason for defederation.

Yourself is the second person reflexive pronoun.

@pgm_01 Made me chuckle. But that's technically a definition, not an explanation.

I would mind, I just don't think that it's worth cutting off huge swaths of communities, whom are largely not Nazis, from each other.

Then find a new instance instead of trying to force this one to meet your standards.

you know the lemmy platform is made by those same tankies, right?

Bye then!

That's the fun thing about this all. You can just make your own instance. Have fun!

But that's hard work. It's much easier to tell other people what they should be doing with the service they provide for free.

If it can't be done for free, but already existing services like Reddit & Threads are free to use, then the barrier to entry is insurmountable to roughly 90% of users.

Yes, things do have costs, and they must be paid somehow, either directly or through things like advertising, which comes with its own set of rather perverse incentives.

That most people value convenience and no direct cost to them is just a fact of the world, and I genuinely don't see the harm in companies providing services that fill that desire. There certainly are other things that they do that absolutely can be criticized, but "providing a free service that people want to use" isn't inherently objectionable.

Are you against any communication with anyone in Russia, because of Putin?

Are we talking about Bayer or Volkswagen here?
