Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.
I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I'm not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).
I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some...
The great thing about this system though is that you can always create an account on your own instance, and interact with any instance that hasn't been defederated from you.
I am not quite understand it, can you maybe explain a bit? Thx
You can create your own Lemmy or Kbin server just for you and post whatever you want. Whether other servers federate with you is another matter of course.
The Fediverse gives you absolute freedom of speech and everyone else absolute freedom to block you.
They can ban your account from a particular instance, but you always move to or create a new one.
I see, kind of like Nostr, right? But what about all the history, like messages and communities, that I was following from the other account?
Poof, gone.
ic, better to behave than
Why would this even be a consideration? Why is your default to misbehave? It's attitudes like this that gives rise to moderation and censorship, because you can't self moderate or behave without someone forcing you to.
