Content curation in the Fediverse is better!

Good to hear!

I agree. It also works the other way in terms of censorship.
My original account was on an instance that once censored one of my comments. I don't remember if they deleted my comment or banned me from the community.
On reddit, I had come to just accept that as a fact of life and every few years I would delete my old account and register a new one.
On Lemmy, I just switched to a different instance which is much more tolerant of free speech and I haven't had issues since.
The irony is, my comments on the old instance can still be deleted, but only for users from that instance.
I don't know the full details, but Lemmy definitely has the more 2000-2010 type of culture that allows people to speak their mind freely.

No one is entitled to attention, and sometimes people need to take a breather for their own mental health.

So block the communities instead of the ENTIRE INSTANCE.
Smug libs keep shutting out their own neighbors without realizing the disastrous effects of siloing large swaths pf vulnerable people from reaching ANYONE. Tribalism has had such a terrible effect on the world yet I see smug otherwise very intelligent people climbing over one another to engage in it.
IMO, the only way to stop ignorance and hate is to actually know people from MANY walks of life and face those differences head on. If you dismiss every last one of them wholesale at the slightest sign of differences, you are intellectually weak and deserve the dystopian future we are all being herded and astroturfed into.

The least obvious Hexbear's user alt:

I think you've just (perhaps independently) discovered the (in my mind very important) idea that moderation is different from censorship. I think the fediverse structure implements that distinction a lot better than most other platforms nowadays do.

What if OP just blocked feddit.org because they don't speak German ?

That’s the same talking points the alt-right uses and we don’t tolerate it.
And I’ve been on the Internet long enough to watch so-called “progressive” spaces get hijacked by the right wing under the guise of “free speech”.
When a culture grows toxic, it’s simply toxic no matter their talking points.
So the fact people have the power to block entire instances at their discretion, this is a good thing.
You are not entitled to my attention, nor am I entitled to yours.

Freedom of speech is an “alt-right” talking point?!?!?!
Are you listening to yourself?
To illustrate my point: I heard Elon is against the obvious CIA front organization USAID so I 100% guarantee you’re now pro CIA.
Rachel Maddow: if you castrate yourself the alt-right will crumble overnight.
You: Where’s the knife?
-
They have that luxury.
-
I trust in the power of people to self-organize, self-regulate, and self-police.
Isn’t someone deciding they don’t like an instance’s content and blocking it themselves exactly what you’re describing?

The irony right?

That's interesting, I assumed so because:
- It's known, that some Hexbear users create alt accounts on other Lemmy instances, because they're mostly defederated to "spread their message"
- Your account is pretty new
- Because you're against the defederation, I assumed that it's because you have came from an instance that gets defederated often
But seems like your opinion actually something consistent and not trolling, in that case I respect your opinion, even if I personally don't agree with your philosophy I can understand it. It's good that in the Fediverse you can choose an instance that aligns with your philosophy (Like lemm.ee) and I can choose the one that aligns with mine.

Good point! You’re right. My meme is more to poke fun at the victory lap the user decided to take here to try get a high five for putting on blinders.
A well-executed rebuttal.
-
You have freedom of speech. I also have the freedom to walk away from your speech and listen to someone else.

Here’s a big hug for you, intellectually honest fediverse user.
