The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    Do not mistake inconvenience for oppression.

    That is NOT censorship. Everyone on that instance still has every opportunity to say whatever they’d like. Don’t cry over the fact that it’s not reaching as many people as you want it to.

    Obligatory XKCD about this topic.

      So you’re pro echo-chamber? You also completely disregarded my point about having to make a new account.

            …Because how is it censorship?

            You can literally access all content available on every instance from any account.

            Making an account is free and takes two minutes, I literally just did it.

            You can comment on any content you’re federated with from any account.

            You aren’t being suppressed from speaking at all.

              You can literally access all content available on every instance from any account.

              No, you can’t. If an instance has one blocked, you can see it if you deliberately look for it by typing its URL or looking in Blocked Instances. But it won’t appear naturally in your feed, nor will you be able to see its users or interact with it.

              That means it stops you from interacting with those blocked instances, even if you liked the content from said instances. See the problem now?
